I am looking at setting my daughters old 10 up as a fry tank. I was thinking of using a internal filter and not sub. If there is the possibility of fry getting caught in the filter I may put the breeder net I have around the filter. Any thoughts or advice?

Sponge around the intake works or just a simple sponge filter would suffice.700g Mini-Monster tank -
What type of fry ?Don't tell fish stories where people know you; but particularly, don't tell them where they know the fish.

I would do breeder net mesh around the intake. I have a sponge around the intake on my shrimp tank and after two or three days, I always have to rinse the darn thing to make the slow get back to normal. It literally trickles after a few days.

Think I'm gonna try the net first cause then I don't have to buy anything but filter media.29 Gallon SA Tank -- 5 Bleeding Heart Tetras, Mated Pair of Angels, 7 Green Corys, and a Rubberlip Pleco

Well I have to start cycling a tank for fry tomorrow. We went to Disney World for a week and got home yesterday. We now have 30-40 endler fry, 10-15 yellow snakeskin guppies, and 10-15 black Moscow guppies all fry. I have 3 snowball shrimp and 2 cherry shrimp berried in the same tank as well.29 Gallon SA Tank -- 5 Bleeding Heart Tetras, Mated Pair of Angels, 7 Green Corys, and a Rubberlip Pleco

Here's some better pics. I was surprised that the snowballs I got at the auction are berried already. I have my old 10 cycling right now I had a betta in it for a few days then put some mulm from my ac30 and an old pad from my daughters quietflow 10. So should be good in a couple of days. I'm hoping that some of the black moscows will be at least nickel decent size for the next auction.29 Gallon SA Tank -- 5 Bleeding Heart Tetras, Mated Pair of Angels, 7 Green Corys, and a Rubberlip Pleco

The fry tank is going got it started today. Bought a new filter for my daughters 14 and moved her filter to the 10. Going with a bare bottom and have a sponge prefilter on. I have to let the black Moscow guppies grow out before I sell them as the male we had was bullied I think and died. He was missing half his tail for a few days then I found half his body on the filter intake.29 Gallon SA Tank -- 5 Bleeding Heart Tetras, Mated Pair of Angels, 7 Green Corys, and a Rubberlip Pleco
