I originally had a filter like the one pictured here, and switched to the air-driven sponge filter (only 5 pounds!). The sponge filter is doing the job just fine, and the reduced current means I’m not quite as worried about the fry getting sucked into the filter.

The guy at the shop who sold the sponge filter to me said sometimes fry go up to the sponge filter and eat stuff lodged in the sponge, although my fry don’t seem to do that. (As a matter of fact, I can’t really work out WHAT my fry are eating, but they’re slowly getting bigger, so there must be -something- they’re munching – probably the “Liquifry” I’m adding, but it’s not something I can physically observe.)
