Easy with SAAs, tip and pour, the fry go with the current. *Nothos*
and *Aphyosemion* swim against the current so you can get rid of most
of the water and then fish them out with a fishing bell (curved glass
tube) or a spoon. I don't know about *Fp.* though.

Perhaps the best bet is to try siphon out the peat and keep doing
water changes till the fry are big enough to be caught with a net.
