I have had TONS of success raising baby bolivians. The way I do it is I wait for the eggs to hatch. Mom and dad usually keep them safe for the first few days till they start to wander away. While the babies are still in the "hole" in the substrate that the parents dug out, I just used my gravel cleaner and "sucked" out the babies into a bucket then trasferred them to thier new home. No need to take mom and dad with them, as they will survive just fine on thier own. Make sure you have baby fish food though. I have done this many times from a 110 gallon community tank with over 100 fish in it.
