if you want have LOTs of plants that way any FRY you miss will be very hidden.

thanx, have you got your fry in a special nursery as i have 2 but noticed it getting a bit dirty but how can i clean it without taking the babys out at the moment i just push it up and down in the water and some bits go through the holes.

I dont have any FRY right now but when i did i had a LOT of plants.

At least half the space was filled with plants so the frys had lots of places to hide.
