fantail fry!

I don't know where you are from, so i can't say that's the exact price. But in my area, at my local petsmart, that's how much I got it for. I'm sure they would be a bit more costly at an LFS. The pantyhose method would probably be cheaper if you want to go with that instead

Good old england,so it would cost £10 over here cos mr cameron has to get some money somehow

Still alive,although only 3 survived from original batch that are now just short of 2 month old and somewhere between the plants I know have 14 fry at about 5 week old.

I think you'll find better success if you forget about the HOB (modified or not) and just use sponge filters at first. Once the fry have gotten large enough, then go to the HOB with the pre-filter sponge. ( Sorry if this is a repeat from an earlier post. ) Since goldfish need a large amount of feedings, water changes will be your best friend over better filtration. Also, since sponge filters contain the benefical Bacteria bed, they also hold infusoria cultures which are excellent food for your fry as a first food. You should see a higher survival rate if you just use sponge filters.

Hope this helps
