If you really want to save them you have somewhat of a chore ahead of you. You need to capture as many as you can and put them in a seperate tank, with a 'mangnet' filter, heater. You can feed the plankton, artemia food, or even brewers yeast. The other side of the coin is that when they spawn there is lots of fresh free lilve food for the other inhabitants of the tank. The circle of life. Good luck
