Once the mother lets them go she forgets any maternal instincts, so she will eat them; once they've been released they are very cannibalistic and will eat any smaller siblings, so if you want to keep them all you have to seperate them according to size - this is probably not very practical so give loads of hiding places and hope for the best. They eat the same as their parents but on a smaller scale. Hope this helps, good luck with the little blue monsters.

At the moment it seems that there holding on to her and if i unbderstand you properly i should:
dish the babies out into the other empty tank whenever they let go ov her

You can gently scrape the babies off. I answered for you on your other post.
