1 litre is not big enough, that size container will not encourage good growth in your fry. If that is all you have available i would leave them where they are and hope they avoid being eaten.

If you have plenty of hiding space in the show tank some will survive.

Alive for now....sorry but 1 litre is just not big enough for the amount of fry you are going to get.

They will end up stunted or die unless you get something bigger.
