Id remove the fry if they dont have hiding spaces and if you dont feed that tank often

Provide plants (fake or real) for cover.
Make sure the intakes to the filters have some time of covering so fry don't get sucked it.

Leave them in there, they'll be fine with cover and as long as you keep the parents fed...

You should try to choose guppies or platies as they will hybridize and you will end up with messed up babies.

Hi. Nice pics but you should get the top part of your heater out of the water. It will keep the thermo switch dry and avoid stray electric current in case your seals leak.
