leaving adults in breeding tank?

I moved my breeding sterbai trio (1 female and 2 males) to a barebottom 10gal tank to spawn. And they spawned the next day, only around 25 eggs though (only 4 days between their last spawning). I would like to leave the adults in this tank for more eggs, but afraid the they will eat their fry. Do I need to remove the parents after spawning?

It is much easier to move te eggs to a small tank or even a small container floating in the tank with the adults. I have found that most Corys will get around to eating their eggs. There are some exceptions such as pygmaeus which to not eat their eggs.
