Bn Fry

[Hoppy]

Hi

My 2 BN's did what I wanted them to do and produced fry

However, the first time they did this I didn't realise it was happening and now have 4/5 week old fry in my community tank that I am trying to catch on a daily basis (a very slow and tedious task!) to put into the small nursery tank.

I realised that they were at it again for a second time and have been on the look out for new wrigglers. I've just (within the last few minutes) seen a few fry drop from where Dad BN is.

Does anyone have any tried and tested ways of catching the wrigglers without disturbing Dad/using a net/going swimming?

I'm planning on getting a pair of Albinos to breed too so would like to crack the wriggler catching fairly soon.

Any help/suggestions gratefully received.

Thanks

Hoppy
