with discus you cant seperate the mum with the babys as mum and dad have a coat of slime on them which the babys feed off no shop foods has the same nutrients in them as this slime coat,how manytimes have they bred and had wrigglers?if it hasnt been to often then it most likely the mum and dad will eat the babys they need a good few trys before they get it right,but i will warn you that the babys wont survive in a tank with tankmates so after them trying a few times try getting them there own breeding tank hope this helps and congrats on the fry
