Default how do i catch Brichardi fry?

I am pretty new around here so I apologize if I am in the wrong forum. I am trying to catch my baby Fairy Cichlids and move them from the 150 gallon to the 30 gallon tank I just set up in my daughters room.

I personally use a smaller tube or hose to syphon them out, have also used a brine shrimp net to catch fry

It would be like a fish roller coaster water slide thing. They might like it. Watch to see if they hold thier fins up and scream on the way down.

Well I don't know how small your fry are But for the Jack dempsey fry my wife and I used a fine meshed net. It drove the parents nuts. Now they attack any net that goes into the water.
