Two ideas.. if the mom is the only fish in the tank other than the babies, put her in the breeder box for now. If not you will need something like a breeder net that has muc finer holes so that the babies won't escape.

I bought a little 2.5 gal setup for my platy fry. You can buy a tank, heater and filter for around $40-50 probably. Make sure you take some water and maybe some gravel from your other tank so you don't have to cycle the new one with the fry in it.
OR
You could buy a breeder net that would be impossible for them to escape from for about $3-5.
