Will your fish eat the baby fish?

yes they will i would suggest putting Easter grass or bushy plants in your tank or you can put the mom in a birthing box to give birth then let her out after she has her babies but don't let the babies out but before you put the mom in the box make sure you put some kind of algae cube in the birthing box so the babies have something to eat. p.s. Mostly angel fish do this and they eat them right when they are born most of the time so with angel fish i would take out the eggs and let then hatch on their own...
