Hello Sea sick!

There is more that one ways to proceed with this.
Most important is that you need to have start food: an excellent example is brine shrimp (artemia).
I am sure that you can get them at the BAS or any fish store.

Now there are several ways to proceed with this. I prefer not to disturb the original tank so I would move the sword plant into the 10 gallon, if the plant is not potted you can tear off that leaf and use a cloth pin to pin the leaf to a tank glass.

Adequate supply of air is important by make sure that the air bubbles are not hitting the eggs directly.
Also add some Methylene Blue to prevent excess fungus growth on the eggs.

Also remember this, once the angels started breeding, they will continue Lay eggs every 7 to 14 days so if you are not ready this time, you have a week.

Later
