It is best to keep them separated for one month. After that month has gone by, compare the frys body size to the mom and dads mouth. If they are big enough you can release them into the aquarium. If not, keep them isolated for another month or so.

How long should a baby fish be separated by its mother or Dad?
You should generally separate a baby fish until it is large enough to not be eaten by its parents or other fish in the aquarium. Some fish, such as mouthbrooders, keep their fry in their mouths until the fish are old enough to be released. Others, like Black Convict Cichlids, guard their babies and chase away any fish who gets too close. For these fish, there will be no need to separate the babies.
