Easy DIY Spawning Mops

- HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN SPAWNING MOPS:
1. Buy some acrylic yarn. You can choose any color you'd like, but keep in mind two things. First, eggs will be much easier to see on darker yarn; and second, some people find that fish spawn more readily on green colored yarn. For this project, you will also need scissors, tape, cork bottle stoppers, and a hardcover book that is about as tall as the tank you're going to use the spawning mops in.
2. Cut off a length of yarn and lay it horizontally across the book, near the top. Use a couple pieces of tape to hold it in place while you work.
3. Begin winding the yarn vertically around the book. Go around about 100 times. You can do fewer or more times depending on how thick you want your mop to be.
4. Using the piece of yarn that was laid horizontally across the book, tie a knot at the top.
5. Then take your scissors and cut the yarn at the bottom of the book.
6. Take a cork, place it in the middle of your mop, and fold the mop in half to completely cover the cork. Then, while holding the top tight with one hand, tie a length of yarn around it to keep the cork held securely in place.
7. Boil some water in a large pot. Once it has reached a rolling boil, remove it from heat and soak your spawning mop in the hot water for about 15 minutes. Then rinse it off in cool water, and it's ready to use!

Hey Jennie, thanks for sharing with us the "birds & the bees" of goldfish!
When tying the cork in, I would just use a zip tie. They survive the boiling for sterilization just fine, and it's a LOT easier than tying a knot.
Plastic have terrible toxicities when heated.
Jamie Burriola You do know what acrylic yarn is made up of right? LOL
yayy it's been a week since my goldfish eggs hatched, it's the very first experience and I have 17 baby goldfish :)
How to know when they will hatch
Just great! Oh my gosh, I lost a female goldy because the males were so passionate but "Rubinia" hadn't the possibility to "dock on" ... I've seen so many videos of you. You're a real professionell. Chapeau, Jennifer!
My Rykin and Oranda LOVE this. They love to swim through and hide in them!
Thank you for making this video. Getting ready to try mine with my Boesemani rainbows!
congratulations for sharing your experiences with all of us. I am very grateful I am in Brazil and I am now started with the big kid these fish beautiful. Again thank you.
That's such a great idea! It'll be wonderful to see some goldfish babies too.
Can't wait till next Monday for a new video! Your vids is what make Mondays exciting
this is great idea. I did same thing with a raffia string, only I planted it as an underwater plant, waving and all
Thank you for your beautiful information . I will try to make it for my goldfish family soon 😊
You're welcome, glad it helped!
Just read ur blog wow your goldfish have grown alot
What a neat idea! I've never heard of this before.
I love your channel and your hair. :D.. Thumbs up for all the info that you give out!!! Cheers!!
I put one in my tank for guppy fry to hide in. I made mine from cotton string. I might try putting one with a weight in it so it looks more plant like and provides a hiding place near the bottom.
Thank you I'll use this for my tetra breeding project.
Great...great...great...very usefull...thanks for sharing!!!
Thanks so much! Im breeding M. boesemanis and need to make these. Awesome video.
(I know this didn't happen BUT...)
**Runs out of yarn in middle of video**
DAGNAMMIT!!
Legit GamR always buy 2 or 3 bundles of yarn
Me too😂😂
Jennie,
Love All Vids =) !!!
Great Job! Awesome!
One of my favorites: The Christmas TanK Of Course!!!
I'm sure you have inspired many people to be goldfish lovers.
ur vids are awesome!!!! thank you!!!
its cool, i make mine the same! except i use an old film canister with the lid and fill it with old fish gravel so it sinks , i prefer the mop floating up 😄
they look so great
Great ideas.....love this.....
THANK YOU!! Finally I can catch those eggs :-)
I bought a regular mop at the dollar store and it worked well for about two months then the fuzz start coming off the bottom of the mop and stopping up my filter. I wanted to make every one aware of this.
That's because you used a dollar store mop, dumbass
Thank you. I am going to try this. I did not know that my Goldfish were having babies but now I see the eggs they are laying and no plants to lay in. However, maybe if I cannot get to this in time, it is a good thing? Cuz tons of Goldfish need homes.
Thank for sharing Goldfish Sensei :-) I will definitely give this a try.
great vid, gotta try it! only one question, does the yarn have to be acrylic? or can it be any type?
thank you so muchhh,,,, ill keep in touch ,,,, with your post,,
I really miss her old videos (like this one)
Great video, Thank you for sharing your knowledge. It's always fun and interesting to watch your videos. :)
Thanks for sharing thank you so much
This video made me smile =D
Really nice !!!!
Such a simple thing. Thankyou :)
Thanks for the vid really helpful and easy
+Solid gold do you sometimes hand breed your goldfish or let them breed on there own
Thanks for the straight forward DIY - I will be making mine like this, best of the 5 how to videos I watched.
It's so helpful
thank you
Awww, thank you!
thank you for the video now I have baby fishes :)
Thanks
My fish get pregnant and give live birth to fry. Would these be good for fry to hide in or would they get lost/stuck.
Happy HopperZ
Fry can be smart. They'll just hide from time to time in there.
What kind of fish do you breed
Balloon Molly Luv yes this will help to save fry i did it and it worked
detailed and clear! Thank you very much :)
Doing this, thanks for the video :)
great video!
wowwww,,,, nice jennie,,,,
I like your nails.😆
ah.... thank you so much for this video! i want to breed my erythromicrons and wondered how this was done.
Nice idea! Subbed.
This can be a grate hide for betta fish :D
In my fish tank a plant came out of the gravel and was just floating at the top and I didn't have time to put it back so I went to school and when I got back I found eggs all over it.
Oceanti lol
Oceanti it’s also good
Thanks for the guide, i made one np.
2:29 I use ping-pong ball instead.
nice!...is it floating? I will also try it :)
@@mladenivankovic9139 Of course it floats!
Such a good idea! Can you make a video on how to breed goldfish? Thanks! (or should we sat, "tanks"?)
Pull the end from the center of the skein of yarn and it will come out without flipping all around.
Very helpfall
Very informative! I have some White Clouds and I don't think the female is comfortable laying her eggs on my Melon Sword or Chain Sword plants, so maybe she'll prefer one of these yarn mops.
On a side note, do you think shrimp will utilize a spawning mop as well?
Once they drop the eggs do you have to remove the mop to another tank? would the cleaning of the tank harm the eggs? I love your chanel :) great info
Great informative video! Are only the back and bottom of your tank painted, or are the sides also painted?
Very interesting post :)
good idea
Its gr8.....
Do I need to turn the filter off so it doesn't suck the eggs up
Use a sponge filter
Kyler Carson depends on how close your filter is and what filter you have and how big your tank is
Short answer is no you don't. Most fish when they lay eggs there is a natural sticky adhesive if you will, that allows the eggs to stick to most surfaces so no need to worry. My angelfish lay eggs on the filter intake all the time and they don't get sucked up at all.
Kyler Carson yes
I got a guard for the filter intake so no eggs or babies get sucked up just make sure the flow isn't too powerful for the babies when they hatch. Or get a sponge filter. Even though your comment is from 3 years ago 🙃
Breeding, my dear Watson!!!
Thanks for helping!
good video. defintley will make these for my pond. One question, when they do lay the eggs do I just take the mop out nd put it in a tank and they will fall off?
Effective i will do too
We can do that for all types of Goldfish ?
have you had gold fish fry before?
+Solid gold when you put in fish tank then next day is your fish die?
Does it *really* need to be acrylic yarn? I can only find 100% nylon yarn...
Can someone help me out please?
You can find acrylic yarn at Walmart (Red Heart brand), or you can check out craft stores such as AC Moore, Michaels, or Hobby Lobby.
Will these spawning mops work for any type of breeding fish? I have some Bolivian Rams, Danios? Thank you.
Hi!. nice vid. can i ask what kind of goldfish are they??. they're so cute!!
Once fry hatch do you have any suggestions for how to sell them. I am just going to breed some dwarf rainbow fish once or twice and I dont want to keep all the fry.
is it possible to breed 2 different breeds of goldfish together, like a moor and a ryukin?
could you use this in a betta tank to give them a place to hide? thanks
is there any other replacements for the yarn?
I have a question on breeding Goldfish. What temperature are they ok with when it comes to breeding. Temp gets like 86 to 88 here sometimes, will they be ok anf if so will the breed at that temp?
Can I use this for corydora fish like albino bronze black and peppered?
You should breed your goldfish Their beautiful :)
Aren't all your goldfish boys?
Just wondering because im hoping to see some goldfish fry videos from you sometime.
Does it have to be yarn... with thread work as well??
do all the eggs tend to be spawned on these mops or just a majority?
also,would you move the mops to a different tank or the adult fish?
What else could you use instead of cork ?
do u put the mop in the parents tank and than move into seprate tank or opposite?
Can you use starfoam instead of cork and could you use corks out of a wine bottle
how can you tell if the goldfish are male or female? also how do you know they are ready to breed?
Does it have to be 100% acrylic yarn? Can I use a 70% acrylic and 30% wool safely?
Hi solid,
I have 2 question
Which month goldfish breeding '
And how thy sexthem 🤍
What type of goldfish do you have? Are they butterfly tail ones?
does it really matter what type of yarn you use or can you use any type.
Do these mops lose it's colour in water?
Is it possible to use is in koi fish ponds (can't seem to find any results from google)
Yes if they can't eat it than yes but if they can no
Works with all fish I’d think
what plant is that in the bankground..so beautiful
Thx
We have an aquarium that is about 60 gallons, and there is no way there is a notebook big enough to accommodate the height of the the aquarium. Is there any substitute I can use for a notebook, or since it is a fairly large tank the size of the notebook does not matter? Thank you for all your help, this was a GREAT video!
Cut a piece of cardboard the size of your tank.
I don't think the size matters because the fish will be the same size still
