Rescuing Fry

[Scorp1us]

So I've got this 120 gal with quite a bit of rock work, and my fish are finally getting it on. I have several pinky-nail-wide long juvies and smaller I'd like to get the fry out to a nursery tank. I'm not having much luck with mini pots and bottles. Is there some way I can attract them out and scoop them up? I had planned to lay down some netting and scoop the whole kit-n-caboodle up, but no one is taking my pots or bottles.

Or do I just raise them in the main tank?

You could try removing them by sucking them out with a piece of tubing,I do it with smaller fry always

Kyle: Through a hose?
Carman: Yeah

That episode made me almost puke and laugh at the same time.

Try a turkey baster before they are free swimmers. Or, if possible, remove the object the eggs are layed on.
