Do the fry swim up to the moonlight and get sucked into the container then?

yes . the larvae are attracted to the moonlight. the pump on the opposite end causes flow at the opening on other end to pull in the larvae. the trick is to set the flow so its not too strong but than strong enough to pull the larve thru.
ill post more pics when they dev. there headband. should be within a few days. at this point. they are just more orange/dark with fat bellies. not much diff than you see with the pics in the last page.

Neet. That is a different style fry scooper than mine. I put a pump inside of two coffee filters and used a U tube with a "boat". That all sits in a container to hold the fry (represented by the white thing
 ) It works great since the light just shines down the U tube hole and the fry swim straight up to it.

I really like how yours eliminates the U tube. The first batch I caught U just used the U tube without the boat and a lot of fry got damaged because the tube had to be below the surface. The fry would swim above it and get sucked around that corner very violently. Now the tube is flush with the bottom of the boat and most of them swam directly up from the anemone to the hole this time and I think there was much less damage. It looked just like a classic alien movie where something gets drawn up into the tractor beam from the mother ship

yeah i saw a few models with the use of the U tube and it just seemed a little trickier for me. but i think there are many ways to get them
anyway update: its day 10 now and there actively eating bbs. i plan to use rotifers while im away. i anticipate hatch #2 within the next 2-3 days. so well see how if my snagger is as successful the second time around.
