King ed pets carries the hydro sponge. Excellent filter for fry, before I used the hydrosponge my fry all grew at a steady pace. Now it's like they're on steroids from all of the rotifers that grow on the hydrosponges. They're constantly grazing on them.

I dont think it makes a huge difference between what filter you use in so far as the amount of micro organisms are concerned...

Frequent water changes, constant supply of good quality food such as baby brine shrimp and stable water conditions as well as tank size are going to be the key.

I use box, sponge and power filters(fry proofed) on my grow out tanks. With no growth rate differences... some fish grow faster then others though.
