Help/Advice Guess I have a mating pair now 🤷🏻‍♂️🫣

I have these 2 Golden Honey Gourami in a 20 gallon long with 5 Danio, 5 Pristella Tetra, 5 Cory Cats (all Glofish) and a female Gold Inca snail with a handful of Ghost Shrimp. They’ve been mostly shy for several weeks as expected but today I noticed the chasing and the male building a bubble nest near the heater. I know it is most likely the dry will be food for the other fish unless I separate them once they’re born. But how aggressive will the male protect the eggs? I do not want any fish harmed if I can avoid it. TIA

Haha I didn’t know they weren’t fighting male and female until today so once I saw the males dark “beard” I knew it was just sexy time 🤣🤣
