Pure genius thanks for sharing. Another tip for treating breeder boxes out there, a vegan product called "Grapefruit Seed Extract" or GSE is very effective in cleaning your glassfront and plastic surfaces to prevent algae adhesion as well as serving as an antifungal! Comes in a bottle, wet your mag cleaner in the tank and drop 5-10 drops of GSE to the wet pad and just go to town cleaning inner surfaces. Works fantastic alongside monthly or bimonthly hydrated bentonite treatments at boosting fish vibrancy and gill health!

[@sydneysangels]

Thanks! Oh wow, that's a great tip. Thanks for sharing that! I've never heard that one before and I'll be sure to give it a try. Thank you 😊

Looks like you are having a good amount of success. nice video.

[@sydneysangels]

Thanks Blake, I got the idea from your channel and from the Aquarium Library! I'm looking forward to trying it with other species as well

[@Jack-gh3vs]

This video came at the perfect time. One of my female CPDs is looking like she’s about to burst. I have an empty breeder net in their tank so I’ll probably just move the female and a male in there for a couple of days with some susswassertang and then move them out before any eggs hatch. Great video!

[@sydneysangels]

It sounds like she's loaded with eggs! I hope you get tons of them! Thank you very much :)

I’d recommend putting about 1/4th the amount of moss you put in for breeding, makes life a lot easier and automatic!😁love breeding these little guys, there starting to fund my other projects very nicely!

[@sydneysangels]

You're absolutely right! I'm using about that amount this time around and the results are a lot more automatic. Absolutely!

[@kendraowen2841]

Ha .... genius.... I already have that breeder thing you use for them to lay eggs in. I would make one comment. I was not happy with the flow in it. Even if I turned the air up high it wasn't pulling the babies down through the funnel and into the side nursery as it was designed to do. It does perform better if the outlet to the nursery side is under the water but I don't see a solution in your set up for that. Anyway, last time I did some work on my tank I took it out and cleaned it well. Then I took a glue gun and sealed up the slots in the birthing side below the green funnel part so that it could only pull water through from above and through the funnel. I am very happy with the results. Now I can see a good flow going down through the green funnel part from the top and it seems to have improved the flow pulling debris into the nursery side. I just did this like a week ago so I haven't had a female birthing yet to watch how well it works with fry vs. debris. The reason I like this birthing thing so much is that while you have a female waiting to give birth it provides flow vs. stagnant water ... and it pulls debris to the nursery tank making it easy to keep the birthing side clean. I would think that your system would be improved by doing the same. I would think it would improve pulling the eggs down through the mesh, through the funnel, and into the updraft stand. I don't know how big the eggs are .... if they are small they could find their way out of the breeder system through those slots. I mean ... I realize with water flow and gravity only a few would happen to drop through the slots ... but this would prevent even that. and damn you ... now you have me wanting to set up this system but I don't have room for even two 10 gallons. Also ... the only fish I'm interested in breeding and sell for enough money to make it worth the headache is shell dwellers and this would not work for them.

[@sydneysangels]

Thanks for the tip! I'm glad it solved your issue. I seem to get quite a few eggs through mine at the moment so I'm not going to mess with it but if I have any problems down the road I'll try your idea! Thanks again!

[@Helveteshit]

You can probably improve the automatic method by doing a 'ladder aquarium' method. Basically, you have two of those 'hang on back' and the egg-catcher overflows without a filter into another one. Where you keep mulm and some snails. When the fry hatch, they will probably get 'swept away' into the new box. And the cycle repeats. KEeping the eggs safe.

[@sydneysangels]

That's a great idea! I think you're right, when the fry start to free swim they'll eventually make thier way into the second container. I might have to try that some day. Thank you!

[@jonasstahl9826]

Put a wall with a few small holes in the hang on tank, the egg will sink too the buttom in the first chamber where they stay, once the hatches they swim/suck through the hole and the current prevents them from swimming back to the eggs

I havent watched the whole video yet (saving for later) but after watching the intro, I wanted to ask, what are the implications on inbreeding when going from 6 fish to 600? Been wondering about this for tank-bred fish in general too

[@sydneysangels]

Good question! Well, those 600 fish have been bred from that original group of adults plus a few offspring and another group purchased later on. Since the majority of the fry never see the breeding tank. I haven't had any problems so far

Thanks for all the tips here. I am finally getting some fry. I have one issue and I am wondering if you can help. The fry keep escaping out the back of the box. What sponge do you use to block it?
