Fluval Flex inlets

[Den Milligan]

My fluval flex has inlets st the rear wall on the left hand side, top and bottom.
I'm hoping to have shrimp in my tank but i think tje might get through. What can I safely cover the inlets with that wont hinder water flow?
Any ideas and advice most welcome.

Nothing much holds back shrimp larva, these are so small they can crawl longside and maybe even through sponges. I find shrimps in my sump at places they can only get to through the sponges and a load of biomedia. There is no other way and they do it..

Depending when you bought your Fluval Flex, you may already have these fitted. Mine did not and my green neons could swim into the back. My LFS give me 3 of the fluval filter guards from their newer display tank (same as those linked above), whilst they stopped the fish my amano shrimp could still get through...

So I added some filter sponge into the space of these guards, that solved the problem. Never could get the 3 shrimp back out and of the back though.

I’ve got one spare if you need it? Happy to put it in the post
