Fry net question

[platy guy]

Anybody know how to clean brown/green stringy algae off a fry net without removing it? I have fry in it right now so I can't take it out.

i dont think its possible.

when i cleaned mine i took the fry out and put them into a small container and soaked the net in bleach for a little while then rinsed very well and to make sure no cholrine was present i added a little bit of de-chlor.

Just leave it be. You can take care of it when it's no longer needed.

i put mine fry in a little bowl, put the net in the washing machine (no soap) and then i rinse it well just to make sure and then i put it back together, and back into the tank. never had any problems

I net the fry out using a brine shrimp net.

There really is no way to get it out without taking the net off. Just get a cup make sure it has no soap or anything like that. Grab some water from the tank with it. Put the fry in that cup, and take down the net. Using your regular tap water give it a good scrub. It should all come out being that the net is wet. No big deal it takes like 1 minute. Do it all the time when water changes. If you dont have a small net to get the fry run over to walmart and they have a small nice one for a $1. Dont do Petsmart because they are not cheap.

Thanks seleya, I just waited until the fries were old enough then let them free and took the net out
