in my community tank

i have aprox 20 guppy fry hiding in and around the only fake plant (for protection)

. i dont mind if they becone high protein food

but as they are behind the background and i cant get the net behind the background to put them into a breeding net what else could be done to protect them?
btw the marbles in the net in the pic are the ones i lost

lol. i have cory fry in there ( the only 2 that didnt get eaten!!)
waiting for a cooler water change now
all opions will be accepted
