Geophagus sp. Areos

[Oscar52]

Found one of my females with a mouth full of eggs tonight. :clap:
how long can i expect the female to hold the eggs and how long before they become free swimming.

There are in a 84x24x24 with 5 other Geophagus sp. Areos and 6 Acarichthys heckelii along with 8 corys would I be better trying to remove the female or leaving things as they are.

Thanks in advance

within the next 5 - 7 days i'd expect to see her let them out for they're first swim.
i would remove her if possible, or their first swim may be they're last too
