I needed my 5g for sparkling gouramis so I moved all the fry in there into a net with a box frame in my 90g. Nothing in there that will get into the net hopefully. I think I caught them all but I had to remove a whole bucket full of plants to even get my net down in the tank. I'd hate to be trying to chase down 70+ instead of around 2 dozen.

You will save them all, as they cannot be sucked. http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/s8xi5heh/my_photos http://www.geocities.com/s8xi5heh/classic_blue.html http://groups.yahoo.com/group/buzaqq/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com
