CT_ Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 So I'm done with enders for a while and gave "all" of them away yesterday. Of course I check today and I have probably 20 fry I didn't see before. Any tips on getting them all? Or am I in a duckweed situation where I'm taking 10 out every month until the end of time? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goosedub Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 They can get that way. I do t have any tips. If you really want to get all of them pull all of the decor out of the tank to catch them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mynameisnobody Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 You can also put something in that will eat fry. You didn’t mention anything about tank size, but you can go as small as a dwarf cichlids or as large as an angel fish. Either, will snipe all the fry. Other than, you have to dismantle the aquarium to ensure you got them all. Personally, I’ve been able to net out all endlers and fry, but it was only a 10 gallon. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then add some food for the fry and once they swim in catch them out of there, it would take some work, and a little DIY skills but it might work. also i can see why @The endler guyhas in his signature "endlers are eternal" and if that doesnt work, what's the harm in having endlers? if you are doing monster fish or something they'll get eaten, and if down to the single endler is overstocking your tank, something is wrong. Or set a fine net on the bottom of the tank, the use your hand to chase the fry in. https://www.aquariumcoop.com/blogs/aquarium/how-to-catch-aquarium-fish?_pos=1&_sid=c78f77dd0&_ss=r Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT_ Posted February 27, 2023 Author Share Posted February 27, 2023 The harm is mostly bioload. And getting food to everyone else. I'm not in a crazy hurry though. Maybe a floating soda bottle trap will work. I'll give it a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The endler guy Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 How could you? Endlers are great unlike… duckweed… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
