Ok so here is the situation
I started a 10 g plant tank with a couple of guppies thrown in for fun
tank was going well and everyone was happy :D Then they got very happy :brows: and babies were born before I had a chance to seperate the mom. So now I have fry in and amongst the plants :)
Not a big deal.
as a matter of fact more are happy then when i used a seperate breeding tank... they seem to be less stressful and the fry seem to be growing fast :) :)
my issue is this though
I need to do a water change but I am concerned about sucking up the fry... how do i do this without killing the little guys and gals.

I was thinking of using some spare air hose... and dripping the water out into a pitcher so that it goes just slower.

What ways do you use.
 
Just put panty hose or a media bag over the gravel vac tube if you're really concerned about it. I will say though, they're pretty good about getting out of the way.
