Cleaning up after GSPs

Post by thenewpufferintown »

So after feeding my puffers crayfish, it seems like little bits and pieces, and sometimes large pieces, are left behind. These are too heavy apparently for me to vacuum up and i was wondering if there are any tricks anybody has to pick up leftovers?

if the siphon wont pick them up, use a net. I have a brine shrimp net for pieces that ae too small for a regular net to get.
