I'm pretty new to the whole breeding/fry aspect of fish myself. Currently I have a 10g with all my adults, and a 7g that is now for the fry. Both tanks have power filters. The fry tank has a Millinium 1000 filter on it, and I absolutley love it for the fry tank as it has a switch type thing to control the power of the flow. I set it to basically off *veeeery slow* during the night so they can rest, and any time it's feeding time so they don't have to run after their food as much,and during the day, I turn it up to about halfway so that they can get some exercise, and pulls some of the poo off the gravel. I have 14 fry in there right now, and have had some in there for a couple of weeks, no losses to report I'm happy to say. The fry pretty much seem to know to stay away from it. But I'm pretty sure it's due to the fact that it's not set on full blast.

As for cleaning the tank, I have a glass divider that I put in the tank. I herd them over to one side and just clean the gravel one side at a time. This seems to work pretty well for them, and doesn't seem to stress them out much at all.

Hope this helps!

I was just catching up on my Guppylog reading and saw this post.

I am extremely impressed with all the "methodologies" that you are all using.
My fry are sure jealous now!!!!

I know that some of you are rather new to this site, but, way to go helping Tvad!!!!

I think that's what makes this site so different from any others out there.

Keep up the great work for your fishies, and Guppylog!!!!!

I just wanted you all to know that.
