Baby clownfish emergency

[MMacro]

Will my baby clownfish get sucked into my eshopps 300 gph overflow?
They are about 1/3-1/2 inch long...

how in the world did you get a clown so small? and yes they can get sucked into the overflow

 

[Reefer54]

you may want to keep them in a breeder for a while, or a partitioned off part of the tank,

pics would be cool

Here are some pics
They are incredibly small

cute little guy, just surprised to see them that small unless your bread them yourself. I can't find a place that will buy my clowns until they reach 3/4"-1"

I bought them from neptune aquatics... They are tiny little guys.

I'd suggest keeping them partitioned off from any pumps/overflows/drains for a couple of months. They are much too small.

My lmb did that. Guess he learned his lesson he has not been back since.

What about a marina s20 or s10 powerfilter? The flow is adjustable and the intake has a foam ring/pad around it so they wont get sucked in.

First picture: The entire tank.
Second picture: You can see one of the tiny clownfish all the way to the right of the tank.
Third picture: The other clown is at the top of the frame.

Put a couple pieces of PVC in there at least..so they can hide. I mean..at least..

There are about 3 pieces of dark pvc in the tank I took them out so you can see the fish...

those are some tiny fish you got there.

Do you think they are safe to add to a system with a 300 gph overflow and 800 gph powerhead?
