I'm still a beginner, but I'll let you know from my experiences.

I have never found a fry on the bottom of my tank lying motionliess, however out of the ones I saved and kept in the breeder net a few have passed before maturing.

I attribute this to 'the strong survive' and also the reason why fish have so many fry at one time. As there are no predators in the breeders net, the weak ones do not get eaten, but do eventually die over lack of food (inability to fight the other fry for it)

Just my two cents... Congratulations on the fry!
