    What is the best way to keep the fry from being sucked into my filtering system?

    A pre filter on the intake.

    i agree with the pre filter...that would work out best.

    congrats on the spawn.

    Yep Yep, 3rd the prefilter over the intake.
    what type of filter do you have? You could do a diy, or store bought.

    I've found that fluval edge prefilters work on the aqueon hobs.... and on the Rena Xp4's I use Lustar ATI Filter Max III Pre Filters over the intakes.

    it is just a generic run of the mill filter.. i did go buy a tank divider that is a screen that is small enough to filter water through it. but not let the babys through.
    as soon as i can i will post pics of the fry.. the fry are up swimming now
