you could try make sure there's a gentle flow of water over the eggs. That will help keep them healthy and not becoming fuzzy and cloudy.

Only ever one at a time

The divider is made from clear acrylic or perspex. Not Glass. So i just use a 19mm spade bit

Thanks mate. Still going strong, but only using 2 bottles at a time. Super cheap to make as well

thanks again to you!

It’s going well and I don’t need to turn the air up high. The eggs are tiny and naturally fall through the grate so it doesn’t take that much air to lift them up the tubes

Thanks. Has worked well for me. I’ve started making and selling them, but for local pickup. Not shipping them. Sold a handful of them

@DIYMick I just tossed some pieces together made one debating think white clouds and celestial Danios be fine together to breed?

@@thedampestcrib6004 never tried that, hard to say, but as long as they aren't competing with each other and chasing each other away, probably should be fine.

@DIYMick looks fine so far my collector is from 1.5 gallon jug so lots of space

No tutorials sorry. But i just used irrigation parts and a softdrink bottle. Cost me nothing to make. Very simple

it depends, but around 3-4 months typically.

Try it out! You can scale this to any size you want. Will save you time and increase your harvest

no i don’t. Just pause the video and you should be able to see. It’s just basically joining some tubes together. Pretty basic DIY

You should!

It’s the easier option to manage

try it out! You won't regret it

I actually did and it worked so well ! I did it with a lot of other species since. Thanks man. @@DIYMick

@@del9059 great news!!! What other species did you breed? I tried with chilli rasbora's, but no luck, but am breeding emerald rasboras successfully. I thought neon's would probably work too

I have wondered the same but never tried. I believe they are egg scatterers so in theory should work

Sticky eggs. You can remove them with fingers

Sounds like you need more flow coming out of the hatchery and back into the spawning area. Whenever the fry swim near the hole, the flow pushes them right back. How big is hole? Mine is only about 2cm or less. Maybe the hole is too big so you don’t get as much flow also? If you look at the water levels between the 2 sections it’s good if you can see the hatchery has a slightly lower water level.

Yep. Definitely. You could do option 1 then move the eggs to a darkened hatchery

do it! It's a cool little project

I plan on it.

newborn fry i feed on a mix of Hikari first bites and Golden Pearl. Then on baby brine shrimp and microworms. I think the newborn fry would struggle with microworms.

I didn't document the making of them. Option 2 i 3d printed cage and cut the perspex by hand. Option 1 is just cobbled together with some irrigation tubing and a softdrink bottle. You should be able to replicate it just by looking at it

Welcome! I don’t post that much to be honest though. If i do something new and interesting, i might make a video, but don’t have the dedication to do regular content :-)

Temp is around 22 degrees+. It’s an outdoor tank (with a heater), so in summer it can get quite high some days (28). Eggs go into a separate container with a bit of meth blue for about a week, then into a breeder box to hatch (fine net)

@@DIYMick Awesome. I'm going to give it a try. I have 1 male. 4 females.

@@Philip_smith88 That’s a good ratio. 2 males would also be ok.

@@DIYMick Cool. Just added 1 more male. After they lay eggs should I put them in tap water with methylene blue or aquarium water with methylene blue and air stone?

it's quite simple if you slow down the video and look at the parts. It's just using the same principle as a sponge filter, but without the sponge. Attach an airline to the bottom of a riser tube. That will create the suction.

They would yes. I don’t breed shrimp here though. I have adults in there as cleaning crew, but any shrimplets won’t last long. Lol

Yep. Or pedal at the same time to extend battery life

i just let them grow a little (until they are big enough to eat the new fry or eggs) then net them and put them in another breeder box. Or you can use a turkey baster to collect the eggs and relocate them before they hatch. This video is an old one though and we don't breed this way anymore. Check out my other video on my channel on "Easy CPD Breeding / Egg Trap Game Changer" for my latest way to breed them. A lot less effort and better hatch rate

About 4-6 months i feel. Hard to say on survival rate. Too many to count. But i dont see dead fry so i think it's pretty high

I start feeding them a mix of golden pearl and hikari first bites. I also use live bbs and micro worms. I haven’t tried them on repashy gels though. I had thought about it, but not sure they would go for it. I’ve seen people mix hard boiled egg in a bottle of water and shake it up to create a suspension, and then pour that it. Seems like a good idea but not tried it

Thanks! Yeah, I could see that working. Good luck!

Thanks! Just a warning though..i found that the styrene boxes that I used do end up leaking slowly. I think water works it’s way through eventually. I ended up lining it with some plastic sheet. You could also probably coat it with some kind of fish friendly waterproof sealer.

@@DIYMick Yeah good idea, I bought some blue plastic painters dropsheets from bunnings, turns out they're only like 2mm thick so might have to get the heavy duty stuff😅 Also considering a thin coat of clear Silicone or Epoxy Resin provided they won't react with styrene, have liters of both lying around might aswell haha
