mat692 Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 does anyone have any good ways of catching fry (cons) in a tank that I dont want to strip? baitcatcher? some sort of trap? catching them 1 by 1 has started to wreck the swords and is very time consuming..

Afrikan Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 We use a big horse sized syringe when I want to move fry Works wonders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 Depends entirely on the size of them matt. I use an airline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 I use a pipette from the chemist used for measuring babies medicine (like a very large eye dropper). For bigger fry I use a clear rigid plastic tube with thumb over the end and even bigger a gravel vac hose (only) as the vac gadget has a flap valve to damage them.

mat692 Posted January 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 syphoned them when they were younger but now theyre pretty fast :evil: and in a 4 ft 300L tank with lots of amazon swords and other fish, just thought there would be another way :lol: will keep at it with the nets -doesnt matter if a few are left theyll get bigger and be easier to catch and more nutritious for my clown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
