you can still raise the fry to adult hood without the parents. do a search on hatching out the eggs. most people remove the parents once they have laid eggs and then help the fry along. This happens with several different types of fish that lay eggs. like the angel fish they do not have to have the parents to hatch or feed. once hatched they will still have a egg sack to feed on but you will need to figure out what you are going to feed the tiny fry. I always used newly hatched brine shrimp before they loose the egg sack for the angel fry.
It is doable just read up before they start to hatch.
I am sorry that you lost 2 fish at the same time. do you have a clue as to why the passed??

I think the ph down put in there made it so the tank had less oxygen and I think they were put in the tank too soon and there wasn't enough oxygen
in the water
