Well, if one of them is a male you may have something going.  Choices are to either move the rock(s) with the eggs to another tank, or (my choice) leave it alone and just watch what happens.

If they're fertilized, you should have wrigglers in about a week, and free-swimming fry another 5-7 days after that.  You'll need some small food.  I like cyclop-eze, but there are other fry foods.  After about a week you can use crushed flakes.  Do be thinking about a grow-out tank in the near future if those eggs hatch!

Good luck, and keep us posted!
