i would wait a couple more days before doing a water change, or try looking around in the tank and see if you can see wrigglers anywhere (is female paying attention to any one specific spot, or moving between two spots constantly) once you know where the fry are (if there are any) then you can do small water changes (i wouldnt do a large water change until they are a bit stronger)

she is staying in one spot and between 2 rocks there is something not sure if its the fry are they dark?
 
their little eyes will be dark but body color is like a tannish color, they will be super small and all piled up together, just wait a couple more days before doing your water change and you will know once they start free-swimming or if nothing shows up

they are free swimming now :) what do i do?
 
sorry if i missed it but did you ever say what was in the tank with them? personally i would just let them be for a little while, just feed the crushed up flake or hikari first bites like i described earlier. fry tend to grow faster when left in the tank with their parents...if you really want to remove them to a grow out tank, then have it all set up already with the same parameters as the main tank they are coming from, then in the evening after you have turned off the lights for a little bit, go in there and they should all be balled up in a tight school and siphon them out into a bucket and acclimate them
