What type fry? For CA/SA that lay eggs and hatch them, I just use a hose and siphon off some from the swarm at the parents side. I never take them all but just what might be 30-50. That is way more than I want out of each spawn.

they are kribs

but now i think as soon as they hatch and become free swimming i'm gonna take them out because for some reason majority of them keep disappearing.

I usually just use my gravel vac and siphon them into a bucket then I can pour them into a fry tank.

Here's a link to a pop bottle fish trap in the library of this site: http://www.cichlid-forum.com/articles/fish_trap.php
I just used it to catch my 3 month old fry. It might work for fry that are just barely free swimming but it might not. I baited mine with blood worms.
