shadoh Posted November 12, 2010 Report Share Posted November 12, 2010 Today I spent the day cleaning out my 4ft tank and removing gravel to convert it into a growout tank. 1 side I made a platform to sit my jarred fry. The other, I put a couple of decorations in for the fry to hide in. I've decided to use my external canister filter on the lowest setting ant have put the sponge from a sponge filter over the intake tube to stop fry being sucked up.

splendidbetta Posted November 12, 2010 Report Share Posted November 12, 2010 Looks cool Is there water flow through the clay pots? It could be problematic if anaerobic microbes are able to grow in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadoh Posted November 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2010 Thanks Stefan. Thanks for pointing out the issue with the pots. Better to get things like this sorted before the fry make the big move. Don't want to lose them. If I were to drill betta size holes (don't want any growing fry getting stuck) in 2 sides of each pot, should that be enough to fix this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splendidbetta Posted November 13, 2010 Report Share Posted November 13, 2010 Yes, a few holes in the sides should be enough Also, occasionally dismantling the pots and giving them a swirl after a jar WC would help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
