you can try changing lesser water (etc 10%) for 4days to prevent changes in water parameter...

You may try using a net to cover the hose end and suck the water out. den then slowly refill the water back. i also using. but me without a net to block just as per normal. no worry bro.

Hi, sorry that I borrow this thread. I am also trying to find out the most effective way to change water without sucking out all the babies. I am sucking out from the top right now, about 20% each time.

For my smaller tank (2 to 2.5ft), I scope out the water using a mug to a pail and put it back also using a mug from another pre-prepared pail (with all the works put into it.

So far it works fine and there is minimal disturbance to the water paramters and the fishes and shrimps.
