I was just looking at my tank and I saw the tiniest little fish! It's a baby! I've only seen one..I want to save them but I don't think I'll be able to fish them out. WHAT DO I DOOOO

Well , depending on the time you could catch her, put her in a cup and go out and grab a breeder net. Set it up and then put her in it. I'm imagining there's proberly more than one. I thought I only had one and now I have 14.

but i can't find any others and i think my fish ate them..i was gone for the weekend and just came back to this

Check your decor and plants. Also if you have gravel check there. I found 12 of mine in the gravel

haha how do you see them?! they're sooo tiny

Well I moved all my fish to another tank and then didn't touch the tank for a few days. Suddenly they all came out of hiding. Then in my other tank I moved the bogwood and BOOM! An explosion of babies appeared! Congrats though. Hope you find more!

will they get sucked up by my top fin 40 and aquaclear 70?

Some will , some won't. It depends where in the tank they're hiding.
