I would move them if possible. That's a massive bio load.

Let them be with the parents for some more time.
If you plan to keep them with the parents, then keep an eye on the parents , sometimes they might eat up the Fry's....if not you can keep them together for close to 30 days.
Make safe and regular water changes to reduce the bio-load.
It is always very rewarding to see the Fry's grow together with the parents.
What you feed the parents , the parents would make small bits of it and spit out for Fry's to eat.
 
^this lol stole the words from my fingers lol
 
Bio load is the last thing I would worry about with 1/2" fry. As states earlier, decide what you want to do.... Grow fry out in multiple tanks or let nature take its course. The larger fry will most likely start eating the eggs or wigglers if you don't pull them OR the parents will eat the fry to protect their new spawn.

Personally I'd remove the larger fry as best as you can without disturbing the new spawn and grow them out in a separate tank and let the new spawn survive. You'll have tons of festaes in the future! :)

Yeah I think I should take them out! The female is chasing them away from the spawn area just waiting for these rtms to sell to throw them in my small tank. . And grow them out!

yeah I probably could do that but there is a little space that they can get pass to the other side!..
