keyhole cichlids laying eggs

Hi All,

Well this is my first time breeding keyhole cichlids, and it has been so fun to watch them over the last while. I just noticed this morning that they have layed a few eggs in the cave of slate that I made for them. My question is, the tank needs a water change and I was wondering if it was safe to change some of it while they are laying eggs? This may sound like a silly question, and some might be thinking 'is she off her rocker to change the water while they are laying eggs', but I have to ask, as the tank needs the water change.

Thanks

nevermind.....they ate them.
