Corydoras Poison Barbs, Oxygen, and Fry

alright i posted my tanks in the tropical discussion 
 
i know this isnt a emergency but i am curious as to how i would get the fry away from the other fish in the tank ( my corys have starting their breeding cycle earlier today), where their eggs are hidden in the plants of my tank.

Would moving them to my medical tank(but change the water to a freshwater area rather than a brackish water(or does this matter for cory young to hatch?)). or should i just let them hatch in the current tank and wait for the fry to appear then move them to my medical tank(changing the water to a freshwater scenario).

Or would i just keep the fry in the tank but use the breeder area(clip on) to the tank then keep the water the same?

What would be better?
 
Heres the intake sponge i have for my cory tank

If you see cory eggs placed individually on plant leaves, tank walls, filter tube, etc, you can carefully remove them.  Most predation is from other fish on the eggs, so depending what other fish you have, you might be best to remove the eggs rather than wait for hatching.  Also, cory fry are extremely small and it would not be easy to catch them before they get eaten.
 
The eggs or fry must be in the same water as they are now.  Salt will almost certainly finish them.  It might be best to use a clip-on breeder unit.  Place the eggs in this, with some dried leaves like oak, beech, maple.  These provide good initial food for fry.
