gifted to wife
gifted this small accessory to my wife who manages our community fish setup because her tiny shrimp kept wandering near the pump intake, she installed it in seconds and now she is completely stress free about the fry.

was skeptical
was pretty skeptical when i bought this small foam piece for my tank since i thought it might choke the flow, but honestly it fits tightly on the intake tube and keeps my baby guppies safe from getting sucked in, totally worth it.
