Any ideas on what fish to put with my brichardi but at the same time to leave them and there fry alone any help would be great thanks

I don't think you'll have any issues with keeping the fry safe. What size tank? There's no way to offer suggestions without knowing that.

One pair of brichardi will take over the whole tank if the fry are left to grow out. I had a pair of a closely related species in a 55 with other cichlids. Only about a dozen fry from the first spawn survived, but as they grew larger they helped protect the following spawns, so more and more fry were surviving each time. By the 4th spawn they had crowded the other fish into one corner, and were moved to a 38 of their own.
