Default Silver Angels with Eggs! Help

I got home from work today, and I found a couple hundred tannish eggs on
pump inlet tube, and my two angelfish actively gaurding the area. Since I
have a community tank of 23 fish, should I move the eggs out and into a new
tank. Also should I move the parents with them. I have did some research
on the web, and I found many opinions. Whay should I do? I do know at this
time that the eggs are not white, so they still may be viable. Also how do
I get them off my filter inlet tube without destroying them? With so many
fish in my tank, I am worried that they may not have a chance, once my
Gourmai, Clown Loaches, and Zebra Danios get wind of what is going on. I
need any help I can get from you guys.

What to do? What to do?

If your going to move them take the filter inlet tube, with the eggs on and
simply replace the tube with a new one. You could do a 50% water change and
use that water in the new take with the eggs, and also move Mum and Dad.
Fix the filter tube , so it remains up right but leave the floor of the tank
bare.

Thanks I had left them alone in the Main Tank, and by this morning all of
them had either been sucked up the tube or turned white. SO perhaps I have
two females, or if there is a male he needs more coaching. Oh well, at
least I have a 5 gallon kiddie tank to play with now. What should I put in
it. My 50 gallon tank holds the following, with their purchase dates listed
as well. Everytime I got a male live bearer of any kind to go with these
guys he would die in two or three weeks. My planted tank conditions are
totally great, no ammonia, no nitrites, and low nitrates, and just perfect
PH. SO I was thinking of trying to raise some fry, but I would think live
bearers would have a better chance. Or the wife and I thought about trying
2 very young and small dwarf african cichlids we saw at the LFS 2 days ago.
Any body got any new ideas?

2 Glass Catfish (Large, -P 1/24/04) (Small, -P 2/5/2004)
1 Glass Fish -P 1/24/04
1 Rainbow Shark -p 1/31/04
1 Flame Dwarf Gourami -p 1/24/04
1 Golden Gourami -p 1/24/04
2 Clown Loaches -p 1/24/04
2 Dalmation Mollies (1 female -p 1/24/04) (1 female, -p 2/7/2004)
2 Silver Angelfish -p 1/24/04
2 Red Velvet Swordtails (1 female; -p1/24/04) (1 female -p1/31/04)
4 Long-finned Zebra Danios -p 1/31/04
1 Plecostomus catfish -p 2/29/04
