Did you cycle the tank? If not that could be the problem. Be careful because of the fry but I would do a 25% water change immediately and then 10% per day until the cycle is complete and the tank is stable.

The fry probably wont make it, they need perfect water conditions. Do a little research on tank cycling.

You could put in some AmmoLock to detox the ammonia. It might help the fry to survive.
