I would say as soon as you can find little babies, get a breeding net you can hang inside your tank if you don't have a separate tank. The net should be fine enough not to let any fry through.
If you take a breeding station (little swimming plastik boxes) the water won't exchange as well in it and your fry might die.
That's the experiences I have made trying to save lives

I would let them be. Cichlids are extremely good parents.
