Eggs But No Nest

My female betta kept going over to my male's side so I just took out the divider and did a "whatever happens will happen". I know its cruel..but I had nowhere else for her or him to go. But they've only been together for a day, and this morning they decided it was time to get some eggs. They're still going at it, eggs dropping and everything. They seem very happy right now but....there's no bubble nest. Can the eggs still hatch if there's no nest?? What do I do? The eggs are all over the tank and neither one of them have much interest in anything else but dropping more eggs.

 

If you can collect them, I'll give you basic instructions on a hatching tube
I don't think it was cruel, but breeding them properly takes a ton of preparation.

I can try to get them. I haven't heard of a hatching tube before. What is that??

Here's my version, I used it to hatch shrimp eggs from a dead momma.
I took a old shrimp feeding tube, used two pieces of FINE sponge, a suction cup, and airline/air pump. Submerge with half an inch of water in the original tank
If you are not prepared to rear the young, I would let them go.
Otherwise, I'll be happy to help you through the process. : )

That would be really cool to learn and do. It looks amazing too! I am actually having a really hard time finding the eggs (the rocks in there are white ‍♀️) so unfortunately I think ill have to let them go. i did notice the two made some bubbles and there's about 6 or 7 eggs which is okay for me. I dont have anywhere to put a bunch of babies right now. This must've been a sign that I should let nature take its course. Thank you for responding to this though. I highly appreciate it ^-^
