Juancho Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Was worried about the fry getting loose in the gravel. I’m still really new to this breeding thing, so I used some of Deans breeding advice and some supplies I had laying around and came up with this. Looks like it’s working out well. Until I can move them to a Ziss breeder box. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modified lung Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 I really like the rod holders. That's a good idea. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atitagain Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 I like the set up and like @modified lung said the rods are excellent for this. IMO I would not move them, wait and use breeder box next batch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll try It gain but wait as long as I did this time around to release them. Still learning. I’ll find a method I’m sure and everyone has been so helpful on this forum. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the purpose of the larger tubing? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shoe box has a small cut out and stuffed with Mat filter that lets water run back into the tank 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw a video of Dean building a similar one using a small, clear refrigerator drawer. Now I understand how it works. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I understand how it works. That’s where I got the idea. I couldn’t do a auto water change yet, so I had to figure how to keep a consistent flow. So that’s my hack. The large black Mat filter slows down the current plus carry’s beneficial bacteria. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chick-In-Of-TheSea Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 What kind of fry are you raising? I was trying to look at the statue decor you got going on too, but I couldn't see it all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can probably find it online somewhere, it’s a common tank background 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
