what i would do, is seperate them into a different container, like a fish bowl or something, keep them in there until theyre hatched. OR you could seperate the mom from the other fish.

If you want to breed tiger barbs, you need a breeding tank (min 10 gallons) seperate from your community tank. Put the parents in the breeding tank, with the same water conditions and plants or stones that they are laying eggs on in the community tank, and after they've bred, remove them to the community tank so they don't eat their young.

you can buy containers that float on top of the aquarium when the tiger barb lays eggs it drops through a slot , preventing the barb form eating it. you can get them at most petshops
