I've seen a lot of info on the internet about using "pantyhose" to cover filters to reduce livebearer fry mortality rates. I have no idea what pantyhose is?! Is it some kind of product?! I live in the UK, is it available here?

Yes they are available in the UK under another name. Nylon Stockings ia another name we use here. I know they are expensive in the UK and US so generally you want a pair that has runs in them and are being trashed unless you want to spend the money. They are like tights but of a thinner material.

No, pantyhose is just the thin nylon tights. Jeggings are another beast entirely.

What, like the tights women wear on their legs?
Yes. Anywhere sells them, Marks, Superdrug, Tesco, etc

Expensive? They are sold pretty cheaply here for a box of 3 or more, my girlfriend gets through a box of them a week as apparently you can't wear the same pair twice... :screwy:

You don't want the thick woven ones, the elastic-like sheer ones are what I use.

Thanks for your help guys :)
Still a bit unsure exactly what a pantyhose is, but if what you're saying is true, and they're synonymous with tights, I'll go out and get a pair tommorow :)
Do you think I'll get an odd look if I ask my girlfriend for a pair of her old tights? ;D
