I've never bred cichlids before. I have tank of geophagus red heads. I have 1 pair in the tank and they have spawn. Now im not sure what to do should i just separate the pair and babies into another tank or will i freak out the parents and they will eat the frys? Or just build a divider and separate the pair and babies fro the the other geos in the tank?
 
How big is the tank? I would move other geos or put a divider in. Parents will be fine with the fry. Try not to disturb them a whole lot. You can leave the fry with the parents for a few weeks if u like but since they have paired off and spawned they'll do it again so u remove the fry I would put the pair in their own tank
