Gator Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 @Krish; Yes, you can, in fact it may be perfect, any baby Guppies shouldn't get sucked into the filter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Levi_Aquatics Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Yes. I would suggest you cover the intake with a sponge to prevent fry from getting sucked into it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guppysnail Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 I run hobs and canister filters. I never had even a newborn guppy fry sucked in using coop prefilter sponges. Guppy fry are actually very strong swimmers and the flight reflex is good. It isn’t until the long flowy fins develop that they are less strong at swimming.
