Thought I would share with everyone my story. so I know I have read on here and been told lots of times that the fry can get sucked up in the filter. well I guess I just didn't believe it.
today when I went to clean out my filters I pull out the basket with the filter media (aquaclear 110) and there in the filter water is one of my molly fry!! I really couldn't believe it - he is just swimming around in there. He was kinda big when this happened, so I am not sure what happened to the guy. I found 3 molly fry about 10 days ago (there is a post on here somewhere) and then I only saw 2 and lately I have only been seeing one. I figured the other guy was around there somewhere... well, he was! he was in the filter. I guess he was able to eat since there is so much gunk in there. but I was really surprised. I didn't know he could live in there. I wonder how long he was stuck in there!
so... just thought I would share. yes - your fry really can get sucked up into your filter (and live)
