  • How do I transfer fry from one tank to another?

    I have my brichardi in the same tank as my Frontosa. For nearly a month now, the Fronts have left the Brichardi fry alone. I havent even seen them TRY to eat the fry. I decided today that i wanted to pull the fry out and put em in a 10g tank so i could monitor them closely. I took all the rocks out of the tank and it turned into a massacre. My Fronts ate every single last one of the fry. I couldnt stop em. I knew this was gonna happen, but i didnt know a better way to transfer them. Any suggestions?

    syphon them out of the 125 with your hose. directly into the other tank or into a bucket. It wont hurt them at all.
