[HELP] I just noticed Green TX Cichlids fry's swimming..I need to save them...

[UNREAL]

Hey there,

I was maintaining my tank when suddenly I noticed small fish swimming inside one ornament...
I think they hatched just hours ago & I'm afraid to lose them... :-S

The tank has several tank mates:
3 Severum
2 Electric Yellow
2 Auratus cichlid
1 Electric Blue
1 Blue johanni
2 Striped Raphael
1 Red Cray fish

The Parents are Jet Black & Super Aggressive... & fighting with all tank mates...

What can I do to save the fry's??

While I was writing this post I wen back to check on them & found less than 1/3rd remaining

What does that supposed to mean?

Put the fry in something with some of the tank water and add an air stone. I think thats what you should do IMO. Not sure if that is correct but just trying to help. I did this to my con fry.

How should I move them? The parents are so protective...
I have another 15.5G Tetra Tank with only 5 Tetras that I'm willing to relocate to make space for my new Green TX Fry...
When do you think theu will be strong enough to tolerate the move...??

I agree use a turkey Baster to suck them out of the ornament.

OK... The Idea is clear... Suck them out And???
Would they tolerate being moved to another tank? They are around 1-3mm only...
I think they are too fragile to be moved at this size...

Does the parents play any role here, other than physically protecting them?
