Do or can anyone make small cage to prevent small fish from being such in?

I have the 1” nozzle. I’d honestly switch to anything else but I can’t find any other attachment that fits 1” plumbing.

That would be great! Do you have a picture of how you did the smaller one?

Not yet. I am mulling things over in my head but I have not had any request before for such an item. I think if I come up with something suitable for the 1/2" nozzle it should just be a matter of scaling it up to fit the 1" you have.

ok I think I got something. Sizing is still a question. My thought was to scale up the 1/2" version by 100% and it should be pretty close to fitting the 1". Provided of course the proportions are the same. My guess is the different versions are simply the same model scaled. But it would be good to get some measurements to see if I am in the ballpark. Photos below. The item slips over the backside of the nozzle so the critical measurement is the outside diameter of the back of the nozzle as the item needs to be snug to hold it in place. Indicated by Red line.

It's also helpful to know the distance from the back end to the point on the flared end that corresponds to the same diameter as the front end centers itself via the flare. Indicated by Yellow line.

Measurements in .1mm would be best. Photos below.

I’m sorry, I haven’t had a chance to take the photos. I’ll try to get them in the next few days.
