My Pj cardinals have a cluch of eggs!

[menace78]

I saw one of them seemed to have a dropped and fattened jaw and watched it for a while then I saw it roll a clutch of eggs over in his mouth by almost spitting them out.
Reminds me of when I used to bread Ciclids and angels when I ran a freshwater tank.

There in a 110g mixed reef and I'm sure the foxface rabitfish and maybe even the pair of true percs might have to be moved for a while.

I'm about to start reading up on what I should do about it but any advice would be appreciated.

I used to have a pair of Cardinals in my last tank that bread quite often. The eggs are hatched in the mouth and live there untill they get to big. I believe the father does the hatching. When mine were ready they were spat out one night when the lights were off. The first batch got eaten by the mother. The second batch i caught most in a net and put them into the sump for safe keeping.
