I was surprised this week by suspected BN fry around the top edges of my planted tank. Is there a good way to segregate them without using nets or hoses? They're barely 8mm. I've put a bit of zucchini in a capsized breeder box, hoping they'd take the bait. Will this work, or does anyone else have some advice?

Get a small bottle, cut it at the top and take off the cap, the put the top of the bottle back into the other piece and put food in it and you should catch him

Cheers. Caught one in the coke bottle craypot overnight, but the water inside it looked cloudy from the zucchini. Caught one in the breeder box. Sucked the rest that I could see with the hose.
