Well you helped me! My fish was pregnant and it worked :D Thank you for helping me with that!!!! Now I have more fish than before :D My dad was very proud of me to know how to do, but I can thanks you for it :D

[@vanissaberg5824]

How are fry traps used?

[@joules143]

Thank you! I'd fashioned my own before in a similar way, but that was over a decade ago, and I didn't have the same materials on hand when I spotted babies in my balloon molly tank tonight. There were 4 survivors and they're safe now, thanks to you. I just happened to have bought soda for the first time in a month too! The bottle worked perfectly!

Doubles as an AES...Angelfish Entertainment System

[@marshallsprofile2489]

Ha, that angelfish trying to get at that baby

[@jesus1290]

Excellent, so funny when the angelfish tried to eat those cute baby fish :)

[@monnathecat8400]

I got a million baby fish on the way... This will be a start. thank you!

[@songbirdmedows]

Thanks my local store has nothing for fry and I need something now this will work for the time being. Thanks very much for posting :-)

[@RedstoneAhead]

Thank you so much, I'm pretty sure this saved my fry's life !

[@PENFOLD1962]

The Angelfish has a taste for the fry, and more than determined to have a snack! A great video thank you for sharing. Take care my friend 👍😷👍

[@wolfbrave]

I think this is a great idea, I have a pregnant Platy and she's about to pop I didn't want to put too much stress on her with a breeder so this is so helpful Ty!

[@osianrawlings4271]

Saved my baby guppy life, thankyou

[@eisvogel8099]

Gonna use this for my synodontis, great idea, ty. And great music by the way, keep up the good work

[@rachelgath9671]

My guppy just gave birth i did not even know she was pregnant lol i have no breeding trap atm and this just saved 6 of my baby fry works perfect great substitute till my breeding trap arrives GREAT IDEA!!! cheers!!

[@bass-man5401]

Dude!! you nailed this outta the park! Most everyone will have a pop/soda bottle lying around! I had everything needed minus the hair dryer, I just used a lighter instead. You saved my Guppy Fry!

[@ViadraUS]

This is how you can make a fry trap for your aquarium.

[@sajidking7515]

Viadra-US

[@blackfoxtail4962]

But what about if the fish eat the eggs before the babies hatch

[@MrJayandan]

This is how you can make fry feast for other fish in aquarium...

[@4Justamomof]

thanks man, best one i've seen :)

[@avirago4750]

Fantastic, two wins here... Recycled and reimagined ingenuity... Very helpful.. Thank you..

[@bighead2968]

amazing idea. I'm going to use it in my fishtank when my fish breed.😎

[@rain-v4g]

So helpful for my aquarium Thyx

[@robotrhino4544]

Made one, works like a charm. Took 10 mins with a cup of tea. So thank you 😁 Used my oven to melt the plastic too. Obviously be careful and don't place too close.

[@niteshchoudhari9551]

Robot Rhino do the fry ..Get in by their own ?

[@eddie21martin]

How do u know when a white female molly is ready to give birth

[@eddie21martin]

When do i know when to separate my white female molly to have babies

[@brian8773]

did any of the fish decided to yolo one moment and do a "do or die" moment and jump into the fry trap?

[@jesschapman4606]

Brian Lim lol! 👌🏻😂 Probably.

[@prajyalakhsmi7334]

Lol

[@wingerrrrrrrrr]

I have an Angel fish that looks exactly like that one, and had it in a tank with a breeder tank inside. Some 20 odd guppy fry in there, and one day I left the top off. 3 AM in the morning, the Angel leapt out and splunked into the little breeder tank. Sheer terror and total carnage, poor fry had no place to hide at all, because I took out the slotted divider, and that monster ate every one.

[@cherylmockotr]

@@wingerrrrrrrrr this is a dilemma... do I hit thumbs up because it's tragically funny, or thumbs down because it's funnily tragic???

[@wingerrrrrrrrr]

@@cherylmockotr it was tragically funny I guess; that devil fish turning all those fry into a giant poop. I can't decide if she was actually smart enough to know that she could jump out of the water into the breeder tank, or just did it by accident because she got spooked for some reason, and then found herself stuck inside with a load of Happy Meals.

[@TheKenneth221]

Thanks for Sharing 👍🏻

[@animalsandplants1737]

Wow , thanks Its amazing idea

[@angiesvlog537]

thank for the good ideas,,newbie friend😊

[@laldharan92]

Super

[@vaibhavidaby4987]

thanks a lot !! mine became successful and I am happy !!😊

[@2005jungsuman]

It was a great idea, i was about to copy,During this covid lockdown it was hard to bought a Breeder ,So i use plastic Pasta strainer, added a hook to hang it in Tank, worked as charm.

[@vivekchavan8082]

I made it its awesome thanks for your idea

[@kurono122]

What type of bottle did you use? I have 3 babies that survived somehow and I put them in a container. It gets dirty frequently though, and I want them to get used to tank water. Problem is, I have a very aggressive molly that picks on the other one from time to time and I'm worried it might stress out the fry. Also, the water level is being greatly affected at the moment and I constantly have to do water changes and putting in pH up in there. I have 2 female mollies in a 10 gallon tank, so it wouldn't be that much waste, but I guess I got them too early to let bacteria build up first to level out the pH levels

[@SkipCoins]

Awesome came home with new guppy’s and found a fry and you saved him!

[@stewartclark8482]

Enjoyed the video way more at 2x speed, worth it.

[@user-fu4ek1mm2e]

Good idea. Thanks!

[@TTAnthonyTranTT]

love this video

[@reniguntlaumadevi4149]

It's a definitely great idea

[@alexanderkurokawa8834]

Maybe you can call it... a venus fry trap.

[@cjrberens1404]

Mari Kurokawa no just no

[@ChicaChickenXD]

omg yass

[@oni9773]

😂😂😂

[@zinxler7631]

Now your talkin.

[@CadenV1234]

Never again please

[@littlekittygaming6292]

Tysm this helps a lot my mom will be so happy

[@aslambabar7]

Awsome sir

[@Yasifrz]

It was amazing idea for holding tank cause all those holding tanks i could find have very huge holes and the fries are able to come out but this one is safe also u should make the upper part for at list 4-5 centimeters Free of water otherwise the fries might jump out or another fish might jump in

[@lisasaxon7828]

Thanku, I’ll make one tomorrow. Atm I’m using a measure jug hanging over edge of tank but it doesn’t get glow through with approx 8 fry that I managed to siphon out, the rest if each batch of fry I just left in tank and for nature to take its course but after a water change n clean if tank I doubt any would be left...who knows? Mind you, my sparkling gouramis ray are only 2 mm in size to may get thru holes. They’re incredibly tiny and are from two batches that hatched in same tank within two days of each other. Only had the 5 gouramis for 6 days and two pairs spawned . Nether the less I will make up a fry holder even the tiniest if holes will be better than no holes. Cheers n take care

[@basicinformations987]

wow thanks a lot for this is the best idea love it... GUPPY LOVER👋👋👋

[@afreenlovesafroz]

Thanks that’s wonderful idea I make the same

[@westonjunior7064]

good method bruv love it

[@ty2693]

Very helpful man.

[@bivekshrestha6221]

my guppy fish gave 12 babies in her 1st delivery n i have no idea how to keep them safe so i left them in the tank with other fish, there were no baby eating fishes so they survive n grown up little big n after some week again she gave more 24 babies but this time out of total 12+24=36 babies 23 only survived as other babies were eaten by oranda gold fish which i bought newly for my tank :( .... i was worried for survived one n checked youtube for some solution n found your video which i felt useful n made same as u guided .. (not as trap but as small home for my tiny family) :) .. thank you sir. keep on designing more new things like this one it seems as decoration as well ;) ...

[@sandeepsingh-jj6bg]

Bivek Shrestha hlooo

[@bivekshrestha6221]

sandeep singh hello :D

[@sannea.3519]

It's very lovely but hardly a trap if you have to put the fry there yourself, more like a container :) but an easy and resourceful one at that

[@Surajprj]

very very good idea sir

[@paulparker2322]

what do you do with the bottle while doing a water change to the tank? great video btw

[@NotorietyOB]

thx a lot I have silver molly baby fish and I built this and it works great, I did find out plastic gets hot when your blow dry it and keep your finger on it XD

[@therandomsocietyrecordings4025]

Pretty awesome stuff - TRS-Records

[@diptanusarkar5425]

Its amazing

[@nicolamckeen539]

Brilliant idea, great job. I will try this when my fish have there babies. May I ask you a question please? Do any of the babies escape through the too or the holes? Thanks for sharing you brilliant idea.

[@pravinkarki5341]

Thank u so much for the advice

[@DavidMcWhite]

This is great! It doesn't cost anything and it looks way better than a tupperware floating around with foam strapped on the sides. Just made this fry trap and it's working great (and the corner I put it in has now become the most popular spot in the aquarium for the rest of the fish). Thanks for posting!

[@terrysperman304]

Thank you, this is exactly the bargain i was looking for! :)

[@bittoonkittoonpress3760]

This looks like a holding tank not a trap. A trap catches something automatically and won't let it out. It looks like you have to net the fry yourself for your idea. so it's a diy fry breeder, not a trap.

[@Strength_In_Wisdom]

kenneth crossley It's confusing he didn't explain. Quit looking for someone to pick on. Lots of people were as confused.

[@thematlandry]

I totally thought I missed a step somewhere and scrubbed through it like 3 more times before realizing that this just isn't a trap. It is a cute little idea for a breeder box though.

[@Indusxstan]

Growth / Potential kenneth crossley is on his side because he is also poorly educated and too stupid to understand the value of accurate and concise speech. Both have much in common!

[@jonathanclark7444]

A “fry trap” in the fish hobby means that it lets in fry but not other fish that might eat them. The fry don’t leave because of their fear of their parents. But some plants in it and the fry will go to it for refuge.

[@ultraininja]

@@jonathanclark7444 well there is a method to make this a trap as i used to make these all the time . all you need to do is use the top of the bottle that was cut off and flip it upside down in the bottle. then you would get some kind of mesh and put it where the cap would be and boom diy fry trap i have one these currently for my setup

[@abdulsamirhashemi3736]

Nice work. my guppies are about to breed, Now I think I can save them from other fishes

[@HONDAGAMING-sz4po]

Oh man My swordtail fish is pregnant 🤰 I was worried for her unborn babies thanks alot 👍🙂

[@Idgixgxjgx]

very nice! I like how you made the hook to hang it. I have 2 pregnant mollies and 1 that already had fry. I had to net them and only caught 5, 4 died over night but 1 is 2 weeks old now and doing good. he is in 1 gallon of a 10 divided. but I like this idea very much! do you think it would be ok to use a 2 liter and allow the moms to give birth in there? I am not looking to breed but I bought pregnant fish, and plan to keep the survivors.

[@exters9279]

Blurry Face Wait, did the four that died get eaten.

[@jonishugart9441]

I have a "fry tank" I've scoup out fry as soon as I see them and place them in the fry tank.PROBLEM - They grow! Big surprise, I know... :/I need to catch the maturing little guys so they don't eat the tiny newbies. It's quite "difficult" - for lack of better words. I think I'm going to try this "fry trap" I think it's a great idea!!!Another thing I thought of was to use a breeding basket in the fry tank, placing my very pregnant molly in it and making tiny holes in the bottom that they could hopefully drop through & join the other fry!Any thoughts on that idea???

[@nicolenejoythe7652]

It works thanks

[@ophioglossoides6961]

I like the video. I wonder if there's a reason it's called a fry trap rather than a fry refugium or something intuitive?

[@radhikapotdar3603]

Did he add babies in that? Or they just went in like that?

[@hamzagaming3455]

Probably he added a female and it gave babies

[@nah773]

Do fry just go in the bottle?

[@user-wo1ww1jh4r]

تانك يو فيري ماتش في الحقيقة استفدت كثيرا من هذا الفيديو وطبقته عندي لك كل الشكر.

[@esmeyesteban]

How long do i keep the trap wit the fry inside one's capture?

[@sohailfazal5251]

thanks from Pakistan

[@samiansheikh5644]

tnx dude

[@ronaldbasketballvlog3851]

👏 thanks

[@MelbReps]

awesome mate mine just starting giving birth about to do this cheers

[@bigwes1976]

Brilliant

[@gigiitsme2195]

the holes wont hurt the fry?? i made one.. the holes though.. it worries me. i left the drinking part of the trap it holds onto the tank because i dont have a hair dryer.

[@Senakoc04]

superrrrrr

[@SARFARAJKHANWORLDLERS9]

I have Molly ,guppy ,Danios most r pregnant do this fry trap works for their fry and what u have put that black thing inside the bottle is that mud and can tell me the exact size of wholes to make on bottle

[@magdalizecarstens3114]

Hi, did these little ones swim through the holes and got trapped or did you catch them and put them in? I inherited a few heavily pregnant guppy females which will all be birthing in the next 2-3 days. Thanks!

[@danyelteasley5251]

Was that flower dirt he used at the bottom?

[@phoebeh3watkins464]

i just separated my baby fry and put them in a 5 gallon tank .. but 1 of my guppy's had 50 babies that was a job getting those fast little things out of the big aquarium .. i had 2 take out all of the decorations and of course the bigger fish came out too . it took me 2 hours but i got them all .. while i was at it i just cleaned the bigger tank put the bigger fish back in there and they were happy ! i put the fry in the 5 gallon and they are swimming every where , they are not scared at all .. i also have rocks and decorations in there too . . i will take them 2 a pet store and donate them .. what ever they sell them for is a fund raiser for pet stores supplies ..

[@GavstarLeo]

is that Gravel you put in the bottle?

[@louisserrano7670]

Do they go in threw the holes or what is happening

[@azeli0ne]

What did you use for the bottom?

[@bighead2968]

do the fish swim in there or do u have to catch them in a net

[@roger_mtz]

So you didn't put them in there the fry just swam in the holes?

[@m.a.kaderjibon5709]

super

[@dksfollies4772]

Very nicely made . But this is a fry nursery box rather a fly trap to catch them and shiftbto nursery area

[@Fish-mc2gs]

this is genius! I just discovered my bristlenose pleco is a male, so I'm going to buy a female to breed him with in a few months, and was wondering how I was going to keep the other fish from eating the fry. They are messy, so I'll probably use more than one bottle.

[@madeinthegetto]

Don’t plecos lay fragile eggs on the glass that can easily fungus over?

[@savannahblake7047]

🙏🏻 thanks 😊👍🏻

[@ShadowBlack54]

Can you make a tutorial DIY how to make breeder trap for unhatched eggs using a somewhat creative divider in the same tank so we won't need to transfer and buy another tank for the mother to lay eggs..

[@GramazioBoys3]

i just bought 3 balloon bellys from petsmart today, just learned about them and i now know i bought 2 females and 1 male. yikes. I have them with neon tetras, 2 tiger tetras, and i bought them with a baby plecostomus. I am pretty sure at least 1 of the females are prego... i dont want them to get eaten... not sure what to do with them but i will find them homes... my question is did the fish get through those tiny holes themselves or did you put them in manually? I know they are mostly born overnight so i am worried they will all be goners in the am. OH and after they get pregnant once, they always are pregnant right? Should i bring the male back and switch him for a female? he seems pretty aggressive towards 1 of the females in particular. Will that stop?

[@userAVJ]

Thanks mate..... 😇

[@basketbalbasketbal9464]

Its good idea but its really small for fry

[@sumitchatterjee1237]

What did you put in the bottle black colour?

[@fishoclock7486]

will it hurt the baby fry due to the sharp places?

[@nikatnight1990]

My fish literally just had baby’s and I’m thinking this same thing

[@reiniersantos7342]

Nice idea :) but clean your water its so green bro

[@roadtripperbrooxy]

Do u think I could put the female in there if they’re about to give birth?

[@djamelmohamed8997]

How can basin ornamental fish making the shape of a triangle in the house?

[@uri4151150]

Babies go into the bottle or I have to put them in?

[@suzannebeauchemin7491]

I feel it is a trap. The fry are swimming in through the little holes and then cannot get out. It is helpful for those who are trying to isolate fry who were born in a community tank.

[@silvanbarber8613]

How do you clean it ?

[@lisagraham1707]

What is the black stuff you put in the bottom?

[@Harveybloxy]

Just made this-I hope it works

[@putinyoudown4603]

I don't get how it works though...

[@funnysht5093]

It's so the fish can't eat it so the fry are safe in the bottle until it's old enough to get out

[@Earthengirl]

Its not really a "trap" but its to keep them safe, you have to manually net the guppies in there

[@chantalvia4907]

I am not sure if the fry come in to the trap..😂😂 even the hole is smaller that the fry.. How can they get in

[@BananaBunnyy]

chantal via you put the female in there when she’s about to give birth then after she’s done take her out

[@jonathanclark7444]

chantal via you obviously have never seen fry
