So this is the third time my cichlids have had babies. But the first two times they did not survive. So I decided to take them out of my tank (well mots of them) and but them in another so my other fish don't eat them. What is the best thing to do with them as in caring and feeding etc...?

How old are they now? I cant tell clearly from the picture but they look like they are free swimming without the eggs sack (having a large belly), so at this size you can feed them....
 
Newly hatched brine shrimp
Cyclops
Brine shrimp eggs (decapsulated you want)
Or you can feed normal cichlid pellets, but use a pill crusher, or two spoons to crush a pellet into a fine powder.
 
Feed upto 4 times a day and do daily water changes to keep the water clean, fry make a lot of mess.
 
Yes they are free swimming. They are only like 4 days old. I have been feeding them brine shrimp. They are in the poutch that you just sprinkle some in the water. And flakes dusted up.
