Type of filtration for fry?

[jvasquez9248]

I have cichlids and one of my yellow labs has fry in her mouth. I set up a 10 gallon for her that way the fry can be released in that tank. But was wondering what type of filtration i need for the fry? I have a under water sponde filter and several hob filters. I will be using water from my main tank to make sure its cycled and old filter media

If you use a HOB put a prefilter sponge on it. On my fry tanks i used to use the spongefilters run on airpumps. Great bio filtration but very little else so keep up on WC's.

Ive used covered hob filters in my fry tanks with no problems. i just by filter foam and cut a hole in the middle and slip it on the intake tube. u dont need to buy the one that says prefilter sponge its the same things for twice as much in my experience. others might see it differently. i also highly recommend the sponge filters. i use the deep blue bran ( i think thats what theyre called). they are pretty cheap and run an air pump and tubing.

yea i cut foam sponge from anything to put over intake of HOB,if you can adjust the flow if you think its too much for the fry,air-driven foam filters work great too
