Filter Intake And Shrimps

[stormy78]

My cherry shrimps keep getting into my internal filter. Does anybody have any idea on how to cover the holes easily without significantly reducing the flow? The shrimps have not been injured, infact they seem haooy in there but ideally I want them in the tank

You can use a coarse filter sponge or pre-filter sponge to cover the intake. It doesn't get blocked up as quickly as tights.

Cheers, how do you attach the sponge/tights to the filter box?

Ooops Didn't read properly that you have an internal filter. My bad

You can use rubber bands to wrap the tights around the filter inlet.
