sponge filter is less likely to suck the babies, and it hardly creates current
i think

Yeah, I agree with Misopeenut, also, if the sponge filter is mature it may also provide some microscopic food stuffs for the fry to feed on as the filter media is exposed. But I think it's mainly that it doesn't suck up the babie or make too much current
