I have 4 geophagus brasiliensis in a 120 gal. A pair had fry. And they're keeping the other 2 at the opposite side of the tank. I'm not interested in raising fry. Should I separate the fish. Also should I separate the fry? I would use them as feeders if I do

Welcome aboard
You could remove them but the pair will probably spawn again soon after. I think a LFS may take a few off your hands .

I was hoping they would just be snacks for the other fish lol
I had Kribensis spawn and it was over 200 fry didn't have the heart to feed them to my predator fish. Gave a few to a LFS and received store credit. Still have 4 Kribs left after 4 yrs lol. Two paired off but not worried about fry they are in a aquarium with Raphael Catfish.
