Exclamation HELP! pig nose puffers

I have 4 pig nose puffers in a tiny tank. I was going to move them into a 60g tank, when I noticed eggs. Eggs everywhere, about 40, some white, some clear, some a little of both. I phoned a bunch of petstores, and no one knows what to do. They said that these specific puffers have not succesfully bred in captivity. I know for sure which 2 are not the parents, so I am moving them out of the tank. But will the other two, possibly mom and dad eat the eggs? What about feeding? I only feed them feeder fish every 2 days. Will the goldfish eat the eggs? What do I do?

Question How many?

How many fish do you have in your aquarium and what type of fish are they. Did you mention goldfish? I believe that the goldfish would have had a much larger probability of breeding than your puffers. I have no experience with puffers and I am to set up a new tank in a few weeks with just pygmy puffers in. Anywho I have had experience in breeding. Were the eggs on: 1) The substrate 2) a fine-leafed plant 3) a normal plant 4) a rock or ornament 5) all of the mentioned?
What size are your puffers?
Most fish bar livebearers (guppies/platies/mollies) do eat both their eggs and their fry once hatched. I would recomend keeping your eggs on a cutting of a fine-leafed plant in a maturity chamber ( small plastic seethrough box / net ). You should proceed to feed the fry, once hatched, with a mixture of crushed flake food (possibly - im not sure about puffers) / baby brine shrimp or egg yolk.
