yay i finally got them to spawn! I removed some eggs to a one gallon jar. Should I put the heater in there?

After the eggs are laid the parents should be removed from the breeding tank, so you did a good thing.
The eggs hatch after 36 hours and at a temperature of 26°C.
After 7 days the fry can eat and what's best is to feed fresh hatched Artemia salina. After about 10 days the newborns should be moved into a 50 liter tank, so many little fishes can grow and still have enough space.

Definitely keep the eggs heated. If they get too cold, they will just die. The parents will be much more accepting of temperatures that are less than 75* than the eggs and fry would. They will hatch after 1-3 days depending on the temperature. After they hatch, it is best to keep them in a tank with a sponge filter so they can immediately congregate around it to eat the micronutrients it collects. Good luck with the fry!
