Raising glowlight tetra fr

[guns]

Hi everyone,
I have a breeding tank of 18length,15 height and 12 width(which is only half filled) which i am breeding glowlight tetras in.The main problem is trying to vacum out the tiny fry into a small plastic container so i can feed them without loosing them to starvation. It is a total pain trying to suck them out with a turkey blaster, any ideas? or is it the case of just buying a smaller tank to breed them in.
Thanks
Dean

You have removed the adults right? Then just lower the water level - I do it all the time for my gourami fry. You'll also need to drop food amongst the fry or they simply won't find it - live foods are better as they tempt the fry into chasing and catching them.

Hi there,
Thanks for the advice.
I will give it a try, the fry on tetras are so small, sometimes hard to see them???
