Angelfish laid eggs- Will they survive?

Over the summer, i've been staying in california. A few days ago, i went back to my house in arizona for a day and i saw my angelfish lay eggs on my in-water UV sterilizer. I was reading a bit on breeding angelfish, and i found out that eggs usually hatch in 3-4 days. My question is-- will they survive?

They're in an 85 gallon aquarium, with only driftwood and a few freshwater plants, and some cardinal tetras. I'm not able to do anything to help them, as i am in California for another 9 days.

Thanks,

Agreed, it usually take awhile for the parents to get the hang of it. I had two that would lay eggs regularly every few weeks, each time they would get further along until i finally had a small herd of them. The other fish in the tank always ended up eating them after they were swimming around on their own.
