He is usually removed as soon as the fry are free swimming, as he will probably eat them at that point. After he's gone, lower the water level to six inches so the babies can easily reach the surface to start developing their labyrinth organs.

He likely will try to eat them.
Like Dave said move the male and then lower the water.
