    This is super smart. And I'm inspired now, I have so many breeding tanks going and no where near enough plants reproducing, since I just recently started producing more plants. This will be a nice thing to use during my wait

    I’m curious what affect the dye or chemicals in the yarn may have on the water.

      Apparently 100% acrylic has 0 risk but i’m still hesitant

      Just wash it in clean drinking water no soap ofc and it will be fine if you use tap you could be putting a lil chlorine in the water or other stuff ❤

    Seems like you could use a suction cup that has zip ties to keep it in one spot in the tank.

    Awesome diy spawning mop
    Thanks for sharing.
    You mentioned that you use acrylic yarn to make spawning mop is there any preparation to make it fishsafe?
    What do you do before adding it to fishes?

    • @TrekOnTheAir
      @TrekOnTheAir  5 лет назад

      Nope! 100% safe to just toss in. Some people boil the Natural fibers cause the dies can sometimes get into the water, I don't have that issue with acrylic or polyester.

    Acrylic is the best yarn to use. It doesn't break down and in my opinion, cork is the best for floating and fish safe.

    Does the yarn have to be green? Or can you use any colour found in nature. Does it even have to be natural colours?

    Is pulling eggs off and transferring them essential or can you just transfer the mop into another tank?

    2) Can we use any colour yarn?
