I wouldnt wash the net. It contains bacteria that wont hurt since the fry are already there they are use to any bacteria already there.

Have u thought about what your going to do with all these babies. Pretty soon your goin to have a lot of fully grown mixed sexed fish. The smaller tank will hold in the heat better than the bigger one.

One key to happy fry is not to mess with their environment too much. I think if they're well where they are, then they should be left in peace. Have you found a pet store that might take some of those fry...they'll just keep multiplying till you have a bunch of fish and no water...lol!

I don't bother by thinking, "oh, is that fish pregnant", or "oh, lets quickly chuck it in the breeder trap", I just put loads of java moss in the tank and leave them to it.

If you have a big enough tank with enough hiding places, pH of around 7, you can keep virtually any fish together as long as all the fish are around the same size and these two groups of fish are avioded:
Serrasalmus
Tetradon
(figure eights and dwarfs are the
exception).

I keep a successful community of fish in a 4 foot tank including the following families:
Cichlids, tetras, loaches, gouramis, barbs, rainbows, livebearers, killiefish, catfish, puffers.

Just do partial water changes every day until it lowers. Water changes is the only way to lower test readings safely.
