Without fish in the aquarium, you could put in a massive dose of ammonia and wait for it to be made safe by the bio filter. Nitrites and nitrates will spike but can be taken care of using a routine water change. Ammonia is a very effective cleanser and once it has been nitrified will not leave...

Hey congratulations on the fry! If i were you i would see if i could squeeze a hatchery/breeder box in there for the fry to go in. They might grow up and, like you said, might be able to give them to LFS if you can't home them. The advice given above is solid, however, you can often achieve...
