There are plenty of breeders that strip the eggs from the mother and raise the fry successfully.  But yes, just keep them separate now.

Hopefully, you've got mature filtration on the tank and you're looking for not too strong a flow, personally I use bubble filters on fry tanks and use them as airstones in main tanks to keep them mature.

I'd keep an eye on them and attempt to give them fry food, when it looks like they are really starting to take it on then you can look to increase the feedings.

The best way is to put female in her own filtered tank around the 15th day and let her spit herself.

Good advice, you'll do fine with them. small water changes on the fry tank, and often. and you have too many rocks in your tank, vinboy;)
people are like slinkys; not much good for anything but you still can\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'t help but laugh when you push them down the stairs.
