Fry Savers

[cugerg]

Just wondering what kind of fry savers everyone uses whether its a brought one or a home made one. Ive got one from the fish cave but its not suitable for the tank i want to use it on. Is there anyone else that makes and sells fry savers? Even if people put up photos of their fry saver so i can see what everyone is using.

Cheers Greg

i bought this from ebay, i had used all those floating cheap ones befor and they annoyed the hell out of me.

I made a couple of adaption to allow more outflow without the fry flowing out aswell!

Thanks for the link. But cause this sits on the outside of the tank its also not suitable for my tank. My tank has a hood.

mine has a hood to- thats why i put the towl on the tank , lol not sexy but stops the condensation .... but also i dont keep the fry in there long, and not all my spawns go in there.I use it to get them to the feeding stage and then put them into a rearing tank. I like to keep them together until that point to make sure they all get plenty of oxygen/ replicates how they would be brought up by the bn.

have you typed 'fry saver' into the search box on the right hand corner at the top of the site? I know for sure people have come up with some good home made designs..
hope that helps.

Hi all,
If you don't mind a bit of DIY, "SmithRC" made a real quality one from an IKEA spice rack.

I just purchased one of these fry savers. The tech den had a thread stating this version is a good one and he used for his fry.
