I don't know of any way of catching them short of removing everything from the tank and netting them. Fry will survive quite well as long as you provide lots of hiding places. I've got a 180 that has more kennyi fry than I know what to do with. When they get a bit bigger (about 1-1.5") I try to trap them in a minnow trap, but even that isn't very effective...
