Should I Remove Babies From Tank And Place In Net To Keep Other Fish Frim Eating New Ones And/or Should I Remove Mother With Babies To A Holding Net?
 
If your sole reason for breeding is to sell/trade them, go ahead and place them in holding. My experience with breeding cichlids, however, is they are wonderful parrents, both mom and dad. Some times some or all of the fry will get eaten the first time arround, but this is not always the case. I prefer to let them do thier thing and figure out how to be good parrents.
 
I Think I Will Just Let The Parents Do Their Thing. The Tankmate Are Trying To Eat Them, Parents Are Busy Protecting

I have bred these guys for fun, and had them (parents and fry) in many tanks. The parents will run off any fish, big or small, that will invade the space. I have had 2'' mommas run off 6'' fish. Let the parents do their thing and it should be ok.
