hi all.ive recently found ur site,its great!im hoping someone can give me some much needed advice,ive inherited some fish,my guppy has had 28 babies today. i have put them in a seperate 2ft tank and fed them but ive turned the filter off as im scared it will suck them in. i also have a 4ft tank with apr 40 assorted fish.any advice would be great! thanks in advance. sam

I'd wrap the filter intake with a filter sleeve or some such material to prevent the accidental bye bye and then turn the filter back on if I were you. Can rubber band it in place.

If you don't wanna turn it back on, then let the media soak in tank water to keep from drying out and loosing the bacteria.

Welcome to MFT, btw.

We use nylon panty hose on our filter intake on the gup fry tanks. Works like a charm. Just like fiugzel said, "rubber band it in place"

Just as strange as the rest of us... If anyone says anything to you about it, just tell em you're trying to lower your blood presure, because it's proven that being in a room with a fish tank signifigantly reduces a person's blood preasure by reducing their stress level...
