Like gene already said, move the eggs to another tank with some water from the old tank along with an established filter (box). Put an air stone so that the water circulated by it constantly sweeps the eggs providing oxygen so that you don't have stagnant water situation where fungus settles.

Once they hatch, you have to feed them with newly hatched brine shrimp multiple times a day. I was never able to sucessfully raise these guys because there was no one home to feed them between morning and say 6-7 pm. Mounth brooding chiclids were a different story because they were bigger and able to fend for themselves. I've been able to get hundreds of fish from my yellow labs.
