How??? Help needed urgently...

I am buying a pair of Apistogrammas with fry...

How can I move the group from their current place to my place safely???

I'd suggest: Put mom in one bag, dad in another bag, and kids in a third bag (or bucket, jar, etc) for transport. Release mom and kids into your tank first (dad can watch from his bag). Release dad 5 min later after mom and kids have reunited. What you dont want is mom "blaming" dad for disappearance of their kids.

It's still possible they may eat the kids, so if you absolutely have to save this batch of young, keep most of them in a separate tank and leave some (10 or more) with mom and dad in their new tank to help keep them from fighting.

Can't I put them in a large bucket or container together???

If you can, I would not place the fry in the new tank with the parents. Since they are free swimming you can raise them separate from the parents. The process of moving that group may disturb the parents enough that they no longer care for the fry.
