Fry System For Celestial Pearl Danio (CPD)

[slynnsin]

I have been collecting cpd fry every week. Currently most of them are in aquarium co op specimen containers. I have a 6 gallon that I can house some as a grow out until they are large enough to go in my 29 gallon.

I have a fluval breeder box but I have concerns about blocking the out flow so they don't escape. When I use a piece of sponge it tends to clog quick and I am worried about it overflowing. I have also read about them being too small for the ziss mesh. Has anyone found solutions to any of these issues?

I have also seen dean's fry system but he says this will not work for smaller fry. Has anyone had success making modifications to use it for smaller fry?

I will soon run out of specimen containers to keep them separate so I can put the oldest in the 6 gallon together (I would rather not when they are only 3 or 4 weeks old), get more specimen containers, invest in breeder boxes, or set up a fry system. Suggestions are welcome!

I have bred these for a few years. I just put them directly in a bare bottom fry tank. If it is a seasoned tank or you have seasoned media these guys are hardy and do great. I think page 6 or 7 of my journal shows one group I hatched to show my fry raising process.
