Hi,

I am looking for setups/ideas of how to separate the pups from the parents but want to keep the pups at the same tank.

I saw somebody created a small crate and let it float in the tank, just wondering how to set it up or any other better ideas would be appreciated, thanks!

I seen people with laundry basket and pool noodles
 
If you don't have pool noodles, you can ziptie empty plastic bottles to the ends to keep it afloat.

I use abs or pvc pipes with caps for flotation. One on each of the long sides of a clear Rubbermaid tote. Just zip tie through the "flow" holes you drill near the top around the pipe. I always add an air stone for extra circulation to each crib.

For how long do you guys keep the pups in these cribs before moving them to a grow out tank?
