Whenever my convicts spawn and it's time to remove the fry, I'll just gravel vac them into my dirty bucket. Might take a couple of rounds cause they'll lay low and try to hide.
Then I vac em again into a tupperware container and make "Doc Wellfish" six packs for my Midas.....yum.

if you have big tubing, use that as a siphon, but not a gravelvac. This will not kill the fry, but it will take a while to get them all. I usually just chase the fry into a corner and use a divider. Or, with cichlids, scare teh fry into mom's mouth, then divide teh tank.
