Hello Gianne,
removing the nest, I would suggest to wait for the larvae to turn black. Once they do, you can simply remove the film canister and place it in to the container. If you have the water right, you should not need any fungicide at that stage anymore. I use the exact same way as one would removing a betta nest. Put some water from the parental tank in to the container and gently scoop the film canister with it or use the other hand to place it in to the container depending on conditions. In case some of the larvae get out from the cave, no need to worry, they develope just as well.
