Ok i am so proiud to say my convicts gave birth to healthy fry two days ago and i need help on raising them!!! Here are some questions.
1) Do i put the fry in anything after a few days and if so, what do i put them in and when do i release them?
2) What is the safest way to get them out?
3) Any extra tips would be great!

I advise not to remove the fry untill they are around 6 weeks old, safest way would probably be a net, thats what i use .
I have a breeding pair of convicts, my females pregnant with her eggs at the moment

you dont have to remove the fry at all..they are great parents...you might want to separate them tho LOL unless you want hundreds more than you already do ..can you get pics of them?

yes i will get some piccs up but the only reason i asked of seperating the fry was because my tank is fairly new and doesnt have much stuff on the bottom yet to sustain anything but ill post pics today!
