Ok...what is the best way to remove these jokers!?!?

I have just tried using a turkey baster and a dosing dropper. No luck. These guys are planted like glue. Should I get a pair of tweezers?

I need to do this with minimal disturbance as they are in my Oto tank and they are still breeding.

Any assistance would be great.

Thx,
J.
 
pretty much from what i know they show up because of over feeding... that may be hard to stop in a fry tank. try to scrape em off and then do a water change while they are floating
 
It was tricky. I used the dropper as a scraper and then sucked them up. A couple I had to manually remove with my finger nails. It was a challenge. Wound up distrubing the tank more than I wanted to. There may be more in there but they will have to wait.
