My kribs and fry are in my 55gl along with about 10 other fish.
and I would like to take the fry and parents out of the 55gl and put them in my 20gl. Any tips on getting the supper small fry out of the tank I was thinking of using my gravel vacuum with a fine net inside the tube. I don't want to stress them out by chasing them with my net. any tips on this subject would be great!
 
I would use a plain hose to siphon the fry out. You can adjust the flow by moving the receiving bucket, higher for less flow. Maybe while they are asleep, if necessary. Good luck.
 
yeah I just tried to do it with my siphon and it didnt work out to good I will try it again when they are sleeping.
