Apistogramma opal Borelli

[markink81]

Hello all,
Long time lurker and first post here.

I have a question regarding my pair of Borelli. The female had here 2nd brood (she/he ate the first batch) of 26 fry. So my question is, when is it time to separate the parents or do I really need to?

The Male is even playing mom as I have seen him scoop up fry and spit them back with the group. So I feel they are both on the same game plan this time around. What do you all think.

My tank parameters are as follows:
PH 7.5
Ammonia 0
Nitrites 0
Nitrate 10 ppm
GH 12 degrees
KH 3 degrees
TDS 278
