I'm worried that it will suck up baby fish. Will they come through alive and just end up flopping on the lawn, or will it kill them?

the baby fish should swim away from the vacuum , it is an excellent unit, but well suck up anything, rocks, algae, and fish if they are there, i don't know if they would survive the trauma of going though the system.

Most of the time the fish will get out of the way, as for instance a bottom drain they tend to stay away from. I think that if they did indeed get sucked up they probably wouldn't survive.

lol you will be lucky if it sucks up a leaf . unless you have really small fry i wouldn't worry too much, poor suction!

I've sucked through dozens of fish, more dozens of tadpoles, and some frogs. When they come out the other side I pick them up and toss them back in the pond, generally unscathed. Once in a while one of the valves will close on one and hurt it, but usually not. Bullfrog tadpoles can get enough girth they will get stuck in the hoses on the way in. Many fish do try to stay away, but others try to hide and do get sucked in. Some fish (mine are koi, they spawn and make hundreds of little ones) are curious or playful and get right up to the apparatus.

I expect it would suck up small fish, doubt they would survive. I remove my fish to a holding tub while cleaning the pond.

Typically the fish don't like the motion of the vacume and flee. But I don't believe they would be harmed

No.. Never had a problem with fish jumping out of it..... However if you let the water level get the least bit low IT WILL CATCH ON FIRE!... So keep it full. Hope this helps

It kills Bermuda Grass. If that is what you have it will work and will not disturb other plants in the vacinity.

The package says it's not recommended for aquariums. It's fairly toxic stuff and any residue would probably kill fish. I used it to patch a crack in my driveway. It did a good job at that.

This is the best killer that I have ever found. I would think it would kill your sprouts without any problem. I put an ounce of liquid dish soap in my 2 gallon sprayer with any brush/weed killer so it helps it to stay on the leaves and not just run off, Some leaves or even wild onions have a wax on them that sheds water. Hope this helps you.

It does not harm the fish at all if the directions are followed.I mix the aquatic herbicide in a sprayer then spray the weeds. I would definitely recommend it for killling above water weeds

So sorry, I can not help you on this. I would call a local nursery and ask them or contact the manufacturer. The water from my urns using this product is for watering plants - don't know how safe it would be for fish and don't think I would use it until you find out if it is safe for them. Wish I could be more helpful.

It's so small I don't think it should be used for any fish. before I got this, I didn't really think about how it affected the fish, but it puts the birthing mother under undue duress. I suggest to everyone to simply separate their fish inside the tank with a divider. Anything else is too small and cruel.

I haven't but I would think it would poison the water if there were fish in the tank. Check with your pet shop to see what they suggest......

Dear Emerson, I can't think of any reason to worry about danger to small fish getting sucked up by the filter. It does come with a screen to prevent small things from being sucked up into the filter. Hope that helps, Scott

I have never heard of that. I wouldn't think it is strong enough to do any real harm to the little critters.

It will kill watermeal. Treat it just like duckweed. You'll need dynamic surfactant also. This stuff is expensive so I wouldn't waste it on pre treat.

Yes, it will definitely kill your grass. I have tried several recipes to rid my gravel drive of weeds, but none of the "natural" recipes kills the roots.

I'm real too. I bought mine 6 months ago. It's a little small but a great starter project for kids, just make sure they don't over feed the fish. I have a beta, a cory cat and a snail in mine. I'm having trouble with the plants, but that is because I used bad seeds and have a bad cat. (The cat ate the seeds that came with it.)

Yes it will kill them. Not at first but after about a day or so they die. I have dealt with an infestation of them at one time, so I know how bad they can get. It's cheaper than getting the bug guy out here. Don't use too much at one time. A pea size here and there is all you need.

No, it will kill all but the very hardiest plant. Now, I do put it directly on some particularly nasty weeds in my yard. It will kill them, and then the grass eventually grows back.
