@KJstables well, you could always put some pantyhose over the intake tube, but if your filter has a flow control valve, then you can try lowering the suction. It still may be too strong though.

i asked my local pet stores if filters were required for molly fry and they said no you just have to maintain a temp of 78 degreesfilters are only required when the fry are big enough to be moved into a larger tank with adult fish
