Reply With QuotePiece of airline... If your tank is deep and the airline is bendy, use a rubber band to tie one end to a bamboo cane (The one mothers used to use) One hand on the outlet to squeeze and reduce the flow/stop the siphon.
For those who have shrimps and fry . What equipment do you use to suck poo from bottom of tank to prevent accidentally sucking up the shrimps and fry ?

I am using airline but I got incidents where fry got sucked and die. So want to see if anyone have a better way??

Perhaps you can consider to use a piece of fine stocking or pantyhose over the airline?

Occasionally, I would have some trimmings to give away in exchange for a can of Milk Coffee. PM me to deal.

Dammit. Back to the drawing board.
Maybe use a net to scare the fries away first?

haha bro cannot lah
Why not use a small filter to create a gentle flow that will sweep up the waste, and break it down through biological filtration?
Can explain how to do this? What small filter to buy?
Does your aquarium have a filter?
Yes using sponge filter. How to use that?
Sponge filters help to create surface agitation but they don't really help to create flow throughout the tank. My suggestion is perhaps a small internal filter to create a gentle flow in the aquarium, such that the dirt will be pushed into the filter and broken down. Remember to ensure that the inlet has some sort of prefilter to prevent fries from entering the filter chamber.
Can show me how the internal filter look like?

This is the Hailea BT200. You can search for specs on google
Will it be the same if I put a hof instead?
Hof flow tends to be downwards from top to bottom, which is less efficient. But if you've one, you can always experiment. If your tank is not too deep, it will probably work
How about a bottom filter? Is it a good way to break down poo at the bottom?
You mean a under gravel filter? Wouldn't that be dangerous for the fries?
That's true
Is there an attachment I can fix at the end of air tube to prevent fry from being suck?
