Well if you only want some of them, you could separate only a portion of the fry, just to be safe, once they have been free swimming and feeding on their own. However, dont assume that the parents will eat them for sure either. It happens sometimes obviously, but my big dovii have never eaten fry no matter how long I leave them in. The fry will continue living and growing until they are far bigger than I would like, and I've had them spawn and hatch new free swimmers more than once while the previous generation of fry is still in the tank. If you aren't looking to raise, or attempt to sell of a whole bunch of jags, I would just give the parents the benefit of the doubt and let them raise the fry and see how it goes. Even if it doesn't work out, they will almost certainly spawn again. Once parachromis get going you typically can't stop them. You can then save some of the next batch. In my personal experience, some of the cichlid fry I've had seem to have a much higher survival rate if I at least leave the mother in with them until they are strong. I can't speak to scientific fact, but I feel stress is reduced to the fry when they feel safer, and less stress equals better immune systems.
few bright white ones.
