woke up today to find a fry saver had sunk in a tank and all 100-120 bristlenose fry had escaped into the tank... so all day i was annoyed and thinking sooner or later im gonna have to catch them all out... syphon hose did the trick and 20 min later refilled fry saver

 

but still a pain in the butt

Lol, I know how you feel, when I went on holiday for a week, I had a fry saver with sail fin balloon Molly fry and when I came back it had sunken, the fry all got eaten and my 12cm goldfish was stuck in the breeder net. The moral of the story is get better suckers

i leave mine floating at front of tank - just bigger fish in the tank musta gone a bit mental and smashed the frysaver around till it took out the air pockets holding it up... then sank

I use those black plastic cages aquotix sells. Bit of styrofoam on each side makes it float well. Cant ever sink

Nope! Get better fry savers.

 

Aquatic's Fry Savers

 

Good time for me to bump my ad. I have never had these fry savers sink or overturn.

And they are cheap

The other moral of the story Michael is: dont keep goldfish

[bigjohnnofish]

yeah goldfish can suck your fry through your frysaver and eat them all lol yeah so no goldies

 

your frysavers az arent space efficient for me so no good

May I suggest square containers

[Bombshocked]

i use Az's design but i use the bottom of a 4l distilled water bottle

[bigjohnnofish]

its def a DIY frysaver that works but ya gotta weigh up time/resources/available space/number needed... i have around 20 frysavers in use at any one time....

 

 

May I suggest square containers

Luckily it wasn't L046 fry

I'm certain Johnno would rather suck up 100-120 L046 than common as muck bristlenose fry. I know i would, i'd even catch them one by one.

[bigjohnnofish]

syphon hose would be up to the job no worries
