In need of some help plz

So I woke up tjis morning and my oscars are swimming arounc this one slate rock.i take a look and it looks like a peice of stirefpam fell in my tank,crumbled up and stuck to this rock.I did look at the rest of the tank and there are no other balls any wwere else.There seems to be about 100 or so just on the rock or just below it.The reason I am writing this is because ,in the 7years iv been doing fish ive never had fish mate im my takes.
They are two oscars,one white and orange the other black and red(notthink that matters but thought id put it),as well as a marble convic ,a jack demsel and xl per(sucker fish).I feed heavy once a day.Temp is notmally at 76-81.I hardly ever do water change,if so 20% every 3 month..they are in a 90g..they are all 2 and a half years old(suckef fish is 7y)

???
What do I do from here .Do I need to setup a hatchery tank (that would be an 10g).Do I need to pull any of the fish out .I'm heading to work now,xo I cant research.As soon as I get home I will,but I thought I woulc ask my fish people fish.

I guess it really comes down to if you really want to raise some fry or not.. If you don't care about that then just leave the tank be. Nature will take it's course and eggs will probably be eaten in a day or so if the parents aren't guarding them.
I'm not gonna say much about the water quality, but i'd up the cleaning schedule. I'd be doing 50% waterchanges atleast once a month, And it wouldn't hurt to check your water and see what your readings are.

Yeah, it comes down to weither you want to raise fry or not. I will say that if you do you'll need to keep up on your water changes much much more. If not you can just leave them
in there to be a quick snack.

I don't normally tell people how to enjoy there hobby. But I can say just from my own experience that I lost a really nice colorful rtm. I think it had to do with the fact that my temp was low and that I missed some water changes myself. So it sounds like your playing a game of roulette with your hobby. I'm
not judging you, that's not my style but would like to give some advice is all.

Good luck with the eggs. Snap a pic if you can.
