I would get a hold of a divider asap! Or make a homemade one for the time being. With the paired off Angels you will see the continual aggression and its not going to get any better til the fish are separated. They will try to protect the eggs, but eventually the other fish will get to them. Thats the problem with trying to have fish spawn in a community tank.
btw..
I edited your post to take out the swear word.. any form even trying to disguise it is against forum rules.

I agree with capekate. You'd better get a divider quick! I think you should try to get another tank if you can get one and put the fry in that one.

It was the opposite of heaven!

guys whats wrong with the eggs...most of them have turned white...im thinking they have not been fertilized...maybe the pair is not a pair at the end of the day...they might just both be females acting out! lol!

should i wait till all turn white and remove them or what...cause some of them are still kind of transparent.

With your Angels, a lots of times they just dont get it the first time around, maybe just too immature. How old are they? They could be two females with one laying eggs, but they may just be two young male and female? Have you any photos of them to help with IDing the gender?

If you take out the eggs everything in your tank will go back to normal in minutes. Take out the eggs and add some food as a distraction and the fighting will stop till they lay eggs again. Maybe that would give you some time to find a new home for the third angel before they lay eggs again.

Start planning on a fry tank or breeder tank if they they are actually male and female. Mine took about 4 tries to get a good hatch so you time. As capekate said, there is even more aggression and stress when the fry become free swimming, and the parents try to keep them herded together and protect them.
