1693.0. "Fry and water changes" by EVMS::MARION (So many fish ...) Tue Apr 15 1997 13:31

    Hi all,
    
    There must be some secret technique that I'm unaware of ...
    
    How the heck do you do water changes in a community tank when there are
    tons of TINY fry swimming all over the place?!?!?
    
    My 15 gallon planted tank has 10 white clouds and a betta.  The white
    clouds blessed me with tons of babies, but they're tiny and they're all
    over the place.  I can't figure out, for the life of me, how to change 
    any water in there without siphoning out many of the fry. 
    
    Any ideas?
    
    Thanks,
    Karen.

    Hi Karen,
    
    I've done this before, tie (using an elastic) a piece of nylon stocking
    over the end of the siphon tube.  Or, you could use a piece of foam,
    like on the end of a foam filter.
    
    Good luck,
    Jim
