Don't. Let the parents do thier thing.

Just so you know, rams are not known for being the best parents in the world. Many are notorious egg/fry eaters. It's possible that you'll get lucky and these will be good parents. If that's true, you need to be prepared to feed the fry extremely small food. Something like microworms or infusoria. Newly hatched baby brine shrimp is actually too big for newly freeswimming ram fry. If the rams are typical and eat the eggs/fry, don't worry, they'll probably spawn again soon.
