Fish Breeding: How to Make a Spawning Mop in a Tub to get more Fish Fry
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 лип 2024
- When trying to breed your fish it's often easier to do so away from the parents who would predate the. By using a spawning mop you can easily move the eggs and newly hatched fry to another tank to a breeding trap (etc.)
Note you can easily adapt this to have more or less wool in the tub depending on your species. Mine is for celestial pearl danios who are not too ravenous about eating their own eggs.
My favourite fishy stuff! (yes these are affiliate links :) )
Lights
Nicrew Classic LED - amzn.to/3fG3Uv6 - Traditional led light that's got a nice high output in a white/cool colour range. Makes plants look extra green.
Nicrew SKY - amzn.to/3Ktn45U - really nice light for natural looking tanks, also the one I use for filming.
Filters
Pat Mini - amzn.to/3fE1u0k - popular for a reason, just a superb little filter thats great for shrimp tanks and fish alike.
ASAP - amzn.to/3nBuytp - the old favourite and the one i return to most frequently.
Air Pump
AP-3 Kit : amzn.to/34UMA3q - Great little air pump, not a silent runner, but has been very reliable for me.
Tanks
Scaper 45 - amzn.to/3KBxG2H - a lovely high quality tank that comes with a super strong light, and a decent enough hang on back filter - perfect for newbies and scapers alike.
My filming stuff
Camera - Cannon 200D - amzn.to/354OLlc - nice camera, easy to use.
BigTripod - Manfrotto befree - amzn.to/3GLXDdj - pricey but super sturdy and can take being knocked over a lot by clumsy operators.
Lil' tripod - amzn.to/355WmQs - can't pronounce the name but it's been a good tripod for filming things on tables or when I have tanks on the floor. - Домашні улюбленці та дикі тварини
What a nice channel!
The 2 stack tub is the answer to one of my problems! Good work 🙂
Very good idea. I will be giving this a go👍
Thank you for sharing this video 🙂👍
So much help - I've got my first fry hatching today!
Oooooh exciting times! Best of luck!
@@tinymenagerie sadly the drain holes in the fry keeper were too big - all gone and I expect they were eaten. 2 more batches of eggs developing, fingers crossed!
This is great. Could you leave a link of items you use in the description for future reference ?
Awesome!!! I’m wanting to have babies but I thought it would become overwhelming transferring fish back and forth. I love your videos!!! Since I’m in US, please give us gallons and inches 🤣🤣 along with metric
Another brilliantly made informative video. 👍 Where did you get the hole punch from? Can’t seem to find one online - thanks.
Heyo! It's by Fiskars and its used by paper crafters to set eyelets in cards and things, but I find they punch through pretty much anything. (www.fiskars.eu/products/creating/Eyelet-Setting/eyelet-setters-x-2-1004714)
@@tinymenagerie Thanks will take a look just got 10 young CPDs to add to my old 5 hoping I’ll have some success keeping a few more fry alive this time with your tips. 👍
Hello! Where do you get the tool to punch the holes? Trying to find one at my craft store
So did this work or not? I was waiting for the results
My fish no go spawning mop, why resion
Could be many reasons:
Try Java moss, they may not like the yarn.
They need to be conditioned before breeding, feed them well with high quality food.
Is the water quality good?
Maybe a candle lit dinner with Romantic music? hahaha
Patience, patience, patience.
