Cleaning tanks with fry

My guppy tank always has small fry in it....I am afraid to vacuum because I don't want to suck them up. I have sand so all the gunk sits on top and it looks terrible...any suggestions?

How do you guys clean your fry tanks?

My guppy fry always stay at the top of the tank. I have hornwort floating for them so vacuuming isn't a problem. Maybe using a length of airline tubing to syphon the sand would work. It may be easier to manuever without sucking up the fry.
