Or try a different pet store

The petsmarts along 45 in woodlands/spring has them. The real nice ones too. 4-5 bucks maybe?

I do make my own and also use the $5 one from Petsmart for my newly spit fry.

Ok. Soon as I can

I use the floating nursery, rubbermaid tupperware with tiny holes drilled and styrofoam or fishing floats tied to the side.

Best thing I've ever used and thanks to RonR for sharing his idea.

I wanna see the plans to the Sunny edition and Ek I'll give that a whirl. I do have an extra rubbermaid box somewhere. do you put the top of it or anything?

[eklikewhoa]

I use the top as well, the ones I get have the clasping handles that hold the lid down.

I drill small holes in the lid too and one big enough hole to toss food in.

that sounds simple enough and probably better due to more room in the box.

I like it cause it also protects the fry from getting attacked through the netting and easier to clean and when I drain the tank all the way down the little tupperware holds enough water for the fry to not notice.

what size holes do you drill?

[eklikewhoa]

forget the size but really tiny, think maybe 1/16

I do several rows near the bottom of it on just the two opposing sides and then the other two sides I drill holes up at the top to deal with surface scum.

can you pm a pic so I can get an idea where to drill them? i'm a sight learner and if I don't see it i'm derped

[eklikewhoa]

I can text it to you, on mobile so it's a pita to pm and I don't think my pm is working that great with my phone right now.
