Filter for breeding RCS question

[Johnnybravo60025]

So I'm going to be breeding some RCS in my ten gallon tank, and I just had a question about the filter. I don't want to use a HOB because it'll suck them right up. I was looking at getting this filter, but I want to make sure that it actually works. I already have an air pump and the tubing, I just want to make sure it would work.

Those are perfect, they are what I use in most of my setups. I prefer the hydro pro line of sponges as they do not occlude.

i just covered the intake of the HOB with cut up pantyhose. Seems to work

I find that if you cover the filter intake with pantyhose, the babies still get pinned to the intake depending on how strong the HOB is.

I use the same filter you have on my Crayfish tank when they were babies.

I used to do the same thing, although maybe its coz i used one with a very fine mesh it caused it to block the flow of water extremely quick and i was having to clean it once a day min. to make sure there was enough flow...

I use sponge material to block the HOB intake. Not a problem at all. I buy the same sponge you use for Aquaclear filters. Just cut it the way you want and put it on like a glove. I have both a HOB and sponge filter in my tank for crays and shrimp.

I use the Hydor II in a 10gal, which is a 20gal. sponge filter. It has more surface area, so I just cut the clear pastic bubble tube a bit. Works like a charm!

i just used a piece of spunge covering it. the baby shrimp would just walk right over it and not get stuck
