How do i clean a breeding net?

hi there, i am just about to do my water change and was wondering, how do i clean my breeding net? it is looking really dirty and i have corydora fry living in it. is there an easy way of cleaning it without harming the fish?



thanks in advance,Andy.How do i clean a breeding net?
you can make a gentle siphon out of a piece of air tubing and carefully suck out the debris. Watch that you don't slurp up any babies!



Don't remove your fry and don't use a sponge or any type.How do i clean a breeding net?
move the fish into somthing else and clean with a soft sponge or somthing like it.
Half dose methylene blue.



Once Cory fry are visible, (10mm), let them out the net.



Only thing that will harm an armour plated catfish is your gravel filter and they don't move, so be careful.
My husband literally cleans it by swishing it around in the water of the tank. I siphon might do it but maybe wait till the fry have left? Make sure you don't feed them too much else the food etc will collect in it and make it dirty. Never use sponge etc as it will kill the fry!

Congratulations on the babies!
thanks for asking, mine is grody too and i got a few answers from your post!
