they were newly moved to the tank a week ago and I didn't want to disturb them

Thank you
The two holding males spat out approx 60 fry between them and I now have another male holding so many he looks like a hamster

Don't they put they're eggs on a bubble nest on top of the surface?? My friend breeds some fancy one's and he told me that as soon as the female lays eggs, the male catches them and put them in the bubble nest that he made or else they will drown..

Simplex are mouthbrooders unlike Splendens that do use bubblenests, I used to breed those
