my koi spawned in a small pond I removed plants with eggs attached they
have hatched in a rubbermade container, I let them feed off egg sacks
for the first couple of days and am now feeding them frozen brine
shrimp and alge pellets. the bottom of the tub is very dirty from plant
roots dirt etc. how do i keep the tub clean, so water does not get
contaminated or to dirty ??

==================
A small air driven sponge filter would help tremendously. I raise the fry
in those $10 shallow kiddy pools from Wal*Mart with air driven filters.
Then at about a month of age they're moved to 680g pools with a regular
filter run by a protected water-pump. The pump is between two plastic pond
plant baskets and wired closed.

Siphoning the bottom would be great if you can be careful and not suck up
the fry.
