[Killietalk] catching fry

["Curtis Smith" <cskillies at hotmail_com>]

I've always just caught the fry I can with a siphon and then go through the 
peat squirting water into it with the small pipette.   The fry dart up and 
can be caught.

I also don't see why Dan Katz's method for finding eggs wouldn't work maybe 
even better.   In doing that you would place the peat w/ eggs in a shoebox 
and pour water into it, roiling the peat.  After letting the eggs settle out 
for a few seconds, pour off the floating debris.   If you repeated this a 
few times most of the peat and peat dust would be gone before you hatched 
the eggs, allowing easier capturing of the fry.
