Electric Blue Acaras had fry, what do I do now?

So I've had these Electric Blue Acaras for a few months and then this happened today 👀.  Its in a 60 gallon Rainbowfish Tank.  I thought both were males.  They have dug holes in the past, and to be honest have sparred with each other at times, so I assumed they were just going through the motions of finding a female.  But there are fry in that hole.  My question is what happens now?  Are they going to rip the entire tank apart?  My rainbows are giving them a wide berth, but when the fry start swimming and inevitably get eaten, are the EBAs going to fight the Rainbows to the death?   Also I have no room to raise fry right now.  This sounds awful, but should I siphon them up to prevent violence?   🤦‍♀️

*Edit* I will most likely give one away as I don't want this to happen again.
