Another Diy Fry Saver

This one works a treat with low numbers of fry, say around 30 odd fry.
It's a 100mm stormwater cap from bunnings also I've seen them in 50mm.
Just cut the polystyrene as you like. Remeber to sand the polystyrene to stop it from braking up or you may end up with little bits floating around the tank.
Silicone the styrene to the cap and ya done. Add a suction cap to keep it in place if you like.
The mesh is stainless steel and safe in all water types. It's also smooth on the inside as well. It holds fry as small as Synodontis petricola.

Hopefully someone gets some use from both of our DIY posts
Thanks,

Great water flow, I've ran air stones on the out side as well as filter outlet flows and they both work well. I've found no problems with them at all.

I use sieves as tumblers for my Kilesa but I've never tried them as fry savers. They would work well.
