SamH Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 Try to get some flow and/or aeration into them, some people put them in a net breeder and have a gentle bubbler going underneath. HTH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkLB Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 They should survive without being fanned but they may get eaten without Dads protection. You could scoop them up and put them in a net breeder or a fry trap or even an ice-cream container floating in your tank. If you go with an ice-cream container you'll need to do small water changes to keep things fresh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
