Feeding fry in a community tank

[Sunnyspots]

I need to move my gourami fry to make space for new fry. If I move these older fry into the community tank how can I be sure they'll get their fry food? They don't come for it, but they can come across it in the smaller fry tank. I'm afraid it'll be lost in the larger tank.

get a plastic storage container and put them in that.

I knew there must be a more obvious solution! I'm brain dead this morning. I assume I should then float it in the community tank so it can 'borrow' the filtration from that tank?

no just get a 200 litre plastic storage container and use it as a rearing tank

So no filtration?

yes filtration and a heater if you live in a cold climate
