Regarding "eye biter" being a myth, I offer evidence to the contrary. Mine is a single male among 13 other juvenile haps/peacocks. 4 of those 13 turned up murdered, lying on the substrate, each missing both eyes. You could see straight through their heads where eyes used to be. No other damage to the body, fins, or any sign of a fight. Granted, I did not see what happened since it was overnight when I was asleep. However, I've removed my Eye Biter to an isolation tank for a while, and all is peaceful now with the other fish. This Eye Biter is a genuine murderer and legitimately removes the eyeballs from his victims. He's a beautiful fish so I'm not sure what to do with him now

I’ll give you a suggestion easier than that screwdriver…..or a fingernail….or a hook pick. Plackers……the small dental floss tools which you can use to floss with one hand. Simply slip the floss over the bottom jaw, and open the entire mouth. There is no risk of stabbing the fish, of the fish slamming its mouth on the eggs or fry. It’s so much better than the other things…all of which I used.

The difference between the Hamburg Matten Filter jet lifter and the diy pvc lifter is the angle of the joint or elbow. Instead of using a standard right angle elbow, use a electrical conduit pvc pipe with a smoother more linear bend on it that provides a smoother less restrictive flow for the bubbles.
