first... fix your keyboard... looks like your caps lock is busted...
just leave the fry alone... if you are breeding you should have another tank setup for the fry... with one or two sponge filters... i feed my yellow lab fry desolved shrimp pellets and finely crushed spirulina flake... if you have different tank mates in the tank with the pair of yellow labs leave the fry in there... but if they are in a comunity tank, take out the mother and place her in the grow out tank... and the little fry too... he might not go back to the mother's mouth, but there's a greater chance that he will in a 10-20g tank than your main tank...
you could take the fry out of the mother's mouth and put them in a floating net things they sell at petsmart... i don't like those, they get dirty really fast... and if you have other carnivorous cichlids they will eat them thru the net...
good luck...
