Yeah, I assumed it wasn't cycled, that's why I suggested moving some aged gravel into it. Since they're that small, I don't think I'd net them, personally. I'd take a cup or plastic container (whatever you use for your fish... something not been washed with soap) and scoop them up with water and then submerge the container into the 2.5 and let them swim out. It's less stressful for them, and if you move then into their own tankwater, they'll hardly know they've been relocated. If you move some substrate and do frequent lil water changes, I wouldn't worry too much about the non-cycled tank with 7 new born fry. You'll need to change a couple of cups of water morning and night, though.
). keep in mind that fry are excellent hiders, so look in the gravel and under plant leaves and against any decor. you will need to feed them a minimum of three times a day, most people will say 6. finely crushed flakes will do. every day you'll need to get in there with the turkey baster to suck up the leftover food and poo that will cover the bottom, being careful not to suck up any fry that will be checking out the end of the baster. do a 20 to 25% water change at least once a week, though since its not a cycled tank, 2 or 3 times may not be a bad idea. i had mine in an uncylced tank and i just ran the small filter for a week in a big tnak and then moved it in and they ahve been fine. hope this helps!!!!!
