I have krib fry who are about 4 weeks old.
My new tank gets delivered today and I have to set it up and get rid of old tank cause I dont have space.
I thought I would be able to get the fry with my vacuum but its not strong enough to catch the fry.
Any ideas how I can catch them.
Thanks for any help

LMAO!
fry with your vacuum?
thats a different thought.
umm. sometimes they are really hard to catch.
how many have you got.
took me like an hour to move 4 baby guppy fry into a breeding trap like 10cm away.
lol. i got it though.
umm
maybe usee... a small container thing. like an old fish food container. them cylinder ones?
or i used a clear toothpick container. it was clear so i knew whether i got them or not?
i wouldnt use a net.. because they might be too small to see whether you got them outta the net or not.
im not sure about other things to catch them though.
sorry.
goodluck.
xo

I find a Sieve (hard mesh) is good to catch Fry.

think there is about 30.
sons sitting with net and we have got 7 so far
pity I have dark gravel cause they look the same colour as gravel and tend to hide in gravel.
Anyway by tonight I should have my nice new corner tank installed with my parents and tetras in it and the babies in my 1 foot tank.
