Cleaning tank with Fry babies

Do you know what type of algae it is? You can always try to capture the female (she will suck all of the fry up in a sense of danger) and place her into a smaller tank or somewhere while you clean everything else. Then when you place her back in the fry should be good and the algae should be gone.

Or try to just run it all off with like a sponge you use to clean dishes with while they are in there if that works.

Any chance that you could try to get a mini-tank like those traveling ones, and scoop up the fry and the mother or where they are hanging out mostly at?

That is a good idea! Or try to get a huge net and push her in since the fry should stick to her. Then you will be able to grab them all at once.

Let us know if the mason jar trick works!

Sounds like a challenge! Let us know how it goes!

That’s also a good idea! I tried to fish her up from the tank but she’s like a bullet. I’m thinking about puttin a mason jar in there and just pulling it out at night when they all rest in it lol

Do they ever rest at all? I haven't seen mine take a moment of rest. It's quite frustrating trying to get them caught up. Would it be possible to do it during their feeding?
