Question
MY Salvani Cichlid HAD BABYS BUT IDK WHAT TO DO THERE ALL IN THE CORNER I DIVIDED THE TANK  SHOULD I TAKE THE MOM AND DAD OUT OR LEAVE THEM WITH THERE YOUNG   OOO AND THE BABYS ARE THE SIZE OF A REALLY I MEAN REALLY SMALL ROCK BETTER YET LIKE ACOUPLE PEACES OF SAND OF THE FLOOR

Answer
Hi Firefox,
 I would leave the parents with the babies. By and large they are great parents.  When the kids become free-swimming, feed them frozen baby brine shrimp which you can get at most fish stores.
