Are the eggs being fertilized? By that I mean do they go from white to tan? Or do they say white? If they are fertilized they will eventually get it right. I know it is frustrating when they eat the eggs but give it time.

If they are not being fertilized, you could have 2 females in which case they will always be eaten!

Good luck

You could but be sure to put them in safe cycled tank and watch yourself when getting them out, the parents won't be very happy with you. Keep them warm with a good air supply. Cover your filter with a stocking or a net of some kind to keep them from being sucked up. When they hatch and the eggsack is gone I suggest you feed them Hakiri First Bites or a brine shrimp hatchery is very easy to make, just google it and there are step by step videos. Good luck and please keep us posted on how it works out for you
If you can't beat them...arrange to have them beaten!

yes, you can try artificial hatching using mblue in a separate tank.
