Corydora fry questions

[Derekshatch]

Could I put either a ghost shrimp or an amano shrimp in the fry conatiner to help keep it clean? Any tips for getting the gunk out of the container? I use a turkey baster and get some of it but in the process I suck up some of the fry because they cover the bottom. I know that stresses them out when they get sucked into the turkey baster. I tried moving them out of the way to suck the gunk out but they just swim right back. Any suggestions?

use a white bucket and an airline hose. Use that as a micro siphon. I use a wooden chopstick while using the microsiphon to move any fry away from the hose as I go along the bottom. Any fry suctioned up goes into the bucket and you can use a shrimp net to scoop them and put them back where they were from.

Would be less stressful than getting sucked into a baster and then squirted back out.

I would not add ghost shrimp. They would happily eat fry they can get their claws on
