Sponge filters are by far the best filters for fry tanks. They are not only gentle but infusoria and micro-critters grow on them for food for small fry to eat.

I agree with Butterfly.

Sponge for fry is the safest filtration system. Your fry tank only needs biological filtration; however you could add activated charcoal if the design allows it and you wish to (I do).

I keep sponge fry filters running in several tanks to have them fully seeded, just in case.

The word 'micro-critters' gives me a fuzzy feeling inside for some reason hehe.

I also /agree about the sponge filter. Lots of styles and sizes to choose from too.
