Yes it is. It's the DIY canister that I put 200 grams Bi-carb and 200 grams citric acid and 300mls water. I'm only doing it to get the pearl weed to condense quicker. Currently cutting it as it grows and re-plant it but it's still not thick/dense.
There are better ways to do this. From my experience, the hatch rate in untreated water is only about 1 or 2 out of 10 eggs. The box where the eggs hatch must not be connected to the main tank, then you can add a very small quantity of methylene blue to keep them eggs from rotting. This will boost the hatch rate to 9 or 10 out of 10. ONE QUARTER of a SINGLE drop of 1% blue is enough for a 1 litre breeding box. As soon as they're born you remove the fry and put them in the box shown in your video to let them grow (or you could put them right in their very own tank up to this point). I do not have access to vinegar heels right now so I feed them with dried shrimp and worms crushed into a fine powder. Good luck
Hi Thank you for your idea. My hatch rate seems to be very high as just a few days eggs have resulted in at least 40 fry from what I can count. I also have some Leopard Danio fry in another tank where I just had the parents lay eggs which fell through a grid. I then removed the adults and got quite a few fry to the point where I might have to sell the excess as I was just breeding to stock my 8' tank. I do use MB when it comes to collecting my Corydora eggs as they are usually left in containers that don't have regular water flow. Thanks again for watching.

Is that CO2 running in the back left corner? I want to start breeding them, but I haven’t seen much info on doing it in a high tech tank.
