remove holding cichlid or not?

Hi, I have a rock krib which is holding I wondered about moving her into a small tank for a few days to release her babies. I have a ps greshaki which has just released her babies today in the big tank I was hoping to save some. I have put a small pile of pebbles in the corner of the tank to see if that will help. I would really love to save these babies as they are georgeous fish. I don't want to stress her in any way and have never moved a holding female before. What do you suggest? She has been holding for about a week now.
Thanks
Julie

i would wait a bit more into her holding period. chances are this early she could spit the eggs prematurely. i've had some do that. if so, you need an egg tumbler to keep the eggs oxygenated so they will hatch
