          Hmmm just saw this and wondering if it would be a good alternative for me. I am way short on spit/fry tanks. What type of carrier was this? Did you silicone a suction cup to side? Wondering if holding females would feel safe enough there to spit on her own if provided with hiding places? Thanks for the specifics......
          Thanks so much,
          Lydia

            Well its just a regular pet carrier you find at walmart for 5.00 and the suction cuz I just drilled a hole not.too big and fitted it in with a pin and since ive had it it has not slipped dwn like others also use a suction cup like for the shower those work way better..

                Here's how I keep my F1 moba fry in the same 180g tank with the rest of my wc moba colony.



                Hope this helps.
