I have just become grandfather to some sailfin molly fry. I put the mothr into one of those in tank breeding boxes and she had the babies in there. I let her go this morning. I find that feeding the fry in this in tank box is difficult and several of them escaped when I went to do it - the will become guppy food I think!
I want to set up an alternative tank and I was wondering if I could use a 40L plastic storage box from the discount shop rather than buy an expensive new tank. I would put in a box filter (does any one have one for a quick sale?) with an air pump thing (also wanted to buy) and a small heater (final thing I want to buy).
If you have any of these items for sale please PM me and I will contact you tonight with details for a buying them off you.
What do people think of using a plastic box for a cheap fry tank? Is is likely the plastic will give off toxic chemicals?
