[UniQuaria] missing fish mystery solved
Hi Marcelo -
Things I have done before to prevent small fish and fry from being sucked into filters include rubber banding old nylons on to the end of the intake, and rubber banding a spongey thing for powerheads onto it. I especially like using the spongey thing because it allows all kinds of fun bacteria to grow on it and then the fish can nibble off of that too. So yes, I think your filter media bag would work just fine.
