Breeding Agazzi Dwarf Cichlid! NEED HELP!

Hi people!

I need some quick answers please!
When I got home today, I found out that my Agazzi Dwarf Cichlids had eggs. They are in a corner of the tank. I see that there are about 60 or so eggs. Does anyone have some knowledge of how to maintain the eggs and keep the fry? How and when to seperate the parents? ETC...I think the eggs are fertilised. Please help! Also, I have some small bumble bee catfish and Kuhli loaches in the tank. I am afraid that they will eat the eggs at night! What shall I do? Remove the catfish? But if I do, the catfish may go in a frenzy all over the tank and knock the eggs or stress the female and she may eat them all! What shall I DO!?!

PLEASE HELP! THANK YOU!
 
If the eggs are in a defensible spot, the female should be able to protect them. When the parents start to lose interest in the fry, you can siphon them out into a separate aquarium. When they hatch you can feed them baby brine shrimp.
 
Ap. agssizis are good parents, to a point if this is her frist fry. more then like an les you want to hatch them on there own she'll eat them. One thing to do is to remove the egg eaters. Like the loach. She'll fight the cat of. Also keep a small night light on at night. It's go to have something in the tank { a ditcher fish so to say} to distrake her from the eggs.
I've hatched most of my Apistogrmma eggs myself and it's not really hard at all if you want some info on this let me now and i'll be more then glad to send you pictures and a artical on how to do this.
 
Agassiz eggs!

Can you give me some advice on what to do with my 3 Agassizs (1 male 2 female)? I've had the females a few weeks and have just introduced the male who seems to be quite happy and spends time with both females.
One of the females has twice produced eggs placed in a piece of driftwood in the tank (65 litres 60cm long). But each time the eggs have disappeared after a day or 2 of being laid. I'd like to keep the eggs and have some fry but what do I need to do? I don't have another tank yet to seperate them should I need to but plan to get something soon.
