Not everyone neighbor. I often don't do WCs for a day or two after free swimming to give them lots of time to get well attached. Then I do WCs into 5 gallon pails for a few days to make sure I don't run fry down the drain. Sometimes I'll then put mesh over the siphon intake with a rubberband for a while.

For me, the experience of wc with fry is about like driving home from the hospital with a newborn lol. I got a smaller siphon and Im very careful (even now at an inch they seem to investigate ad try to swim into the tube) .Thankful someone.online suggested a smaller siphon.

I had these old sleeves you fill with carbon that fit perfectly over my python,but I think I'll go the smaller syphon/5gal bucket route for now.Thanks.
