Etsy and Patreon links are in the channel about section, but fair warning, this got a little more attention than I expected. The printers are running 24 hours a day but I can't keep anything in stock for long. The heat will die down soon. I appreciate your interest in trying these out and for those who do, I sincerely hope they serve you well.
This man, possibly has one of the calmest voices on RUclips. Keep up the good work 👍. In a sea of crazy content, you’re a small island of calm and reason.
This is awesome! Brilliant design, as always. 👏🏻👏🏻😀 I will bring an extra jug of paramecium to our meeting tomorrow in case you need one. Impressive number of eggs-wow! 🙌
I can't wait for your next iteration of this that you have in the works! I would prefer a design that uses an air lift or similar design so I don't have to routinely take this out of the tank to empty, instead being able to turn the air on/off depending on whether I'm focusing on breeding or not.
Great work, and video as always. I and plenty others based on the comments, patiently await the evolution into the airlift model that fully integrates with your awesome fry tray.
I just printed your fry tray and this idea being mentioned gets me pumped! I’m trying to breed Ember Tetras but as you said the tank with mesh at the bottom has a lot limitations and varied success.
I think I need this for mine. The vacuum bubbler egg trap style seems to be failing me. But my random potted plants and transferring them to another tank have gave me a few fry.
Very nice design! I just joined the Patreon a few days ago and was looking for a solution for this as I’m about to try egg scatterers for the first time. Perfect timing 🙂
Looks great mate . Have you thought about adding some sort of lift tube so the eggs can go straight from the spawn box to the hatch box so you do have check the box or both your had in the tank as much
Awesome design. Well done. I'd be interested in purchasing this, or if they are not available, the print file would definitely be handy to print some myself!
Here's hoping, I grabbed one of the fry trays from her recently. He'll eventually do an egg collecting device that air lifts directly into the fry tray for sure.
what program do you use to make your designs? I want to learn how to make more detailed designs but I can only do simple ones using tinker cad at the moment.
2.5 or 5 gallon bucket - cut out the bottom and replace with mesh. put bucket inside another tank, slightly elevated. put fish in bucket. put moss in bucket. feed fish. wait.
another great video I love your channels quality and the beauty of trying new things that's not recommended but still works. I was wondering if you would like to try these fish since I'm interested in them and i think you might be to; halfbeaks, goodeids, tiger barbs, cichlids (mbunas or peacocks), more rainbow fish! I love watching your videos as they're the best guide and explanation of fish breeding
It might. I'm not sure how much hillstream loaches position themselves directly above rocks or if they rely on current to carry and trap them in rocks downstream. It's always worth a try
Hey Lowell! Have you tried splitting lights into two photo periods in a day for Ram fry? For example, a 3 hour photo period in the morning, feeding at about hour one prior to heading off to work, and the second photo period starting when arriving home from work, allowing a few more "daylight" feedings during that time as well, to avoid the wasted calories midday hunting for food? I'm trying to figure out what the best feeding / photo period is for me as I work an 8 hour shift about half an hour away from home, and I'd love to succeed with ram as best as I can!
I'm thinking... Yes? At least once. It has to be really dark to put them to sleep though. Usually there is enough ambient light for them to recognize day time as day time
Great, now I have to rest up so I can go wrestle with my printer. Is this how you plan on making your millions by breeding billions of CPD's? And just curious, I wonder what would be more efficient, the Lowell egg trap or those egg collection thingies?
@@MakeMoreFish Could you make an up lift on your design? DAKU made one I just saw this morning, but his design is round and I like an square egg trap a little better
Hey man I joined up yesterday to download your awesome fish box, me and my daughter are currently breeding platys. Do you have something to put in the community tank the live fry can hide in? Or do I just put the platy alone in the breeding box?
So live-bearers are not my area of expertise and I never testing the fry trays as a birthing enclosure. It may work but the female might also just jump out. I think I would set up some kind of cage in a more comfortable setting and retrieve the fry later to raise up in a tray. Either way is worth a try.
@@MakeMoreFish I have a live bearer tank and then a few larger cichlid tanks. I am raising a little bit of both as we speak lol. I just finished printing the first box, it’s in the tank and performing great. Nice work on the design I was fixing to do it myself and I found yours! The main body was 19hrs on the carbon x1 I slowed it a touch. Thanks for sharing!
I've used one of those and that was my first thought too. Until I saw the number of eggs he collected. The majority of the eggs sat at the bottom of the collection and the air lift wasn't strong enough to pull them all up.
Not really, they're more of a mop spawner so their eggs would stick to the vegetation and not fall down. A traditional spawning mop works great for them.

Can I get the file?

Awesome design. way to go
No way this is coming from a fish breeder mind blowing 😳 🤯
Lowell sir you dont know but are a genius for sure 🙌
❤from india 🇮🇳
Moot pina? 🐄
Wonderful and elegant design! I need to get my hands on my own personal 3D printer.
I want one.
Me too
Count me in as well 😊
I love this from EGYPT 🇪🇬 ❤️
Lowell's Fish Lab, great content keep it up dude
Such a amazing trap. Great job. Thanks for sharing

Would be awesome seeing cardinal tetra project next
I would love to.
I think I need this for mine. The vacuum bubbler egg trap style seems to be failing me. But my random potted plants and transferring them to another tank have gave me a few fry.
Oh shoot I was literally getting ready to breed some of Greg Sage's odessa barbs, this is gonna come in clutch!
I live in Loveland, about 30-40 minutes from Greg's place! Where are you from?
I love your channel so much. This was a delight
Thank you! Always appreciated.
Simply the greatest fish videos by far. Also what camera and lens do you use to record?
P.S. if I ever get a 3d printer its because of you :)
A canon M50 Mk2 and the vast majority are shot with canon's macro lens for the EM-F mount
@@MakeMoreFish nice. I just bought a used Sony a6400, but the macro lenses for Sony are crazy expensive 😅
Was just getting back into CPD breeding - perhaps I should find a friend who would print me this to give it a shot!
Very nice design! I just joined the Patreon a few days ago and was looking for a solution for this as I’m about to try egg scatterers for the first time. Perfect timing 🙂
Reminds me of the ice cream tub method i use with a mesh bag stretched over the tub and left sagging in the middle.
Good Design.
Looks great mate .
Have you thought about adding some sort of lift tube so the eggs can go straight from the spawn box to the hatch box so you do have check the box or both your had in the tank as much
I have. Automatic collectors are very cool.
Great design makes me want to try CPDs
Looking great Lowell's thanks for sharing 😊
Great design!
would buy in a heart beat, wow
Awesome design. Well done. I'd be interested in purchasing this, or if they are not available, the print file would definitely be handy to print some myself!
Both are available. Whichever you prefer. Well, one of them is available. My inventory just got ransacked
@@MakeMoreFish ill be checking it out for sure!
Would love one of these as I’m currently experimenting with cpd traps
That looks really awesome. Are you going to allow Hand Picked Aquatics in Australia to print and sell them like your fry trays? If so I'm getting one!
Here's hoping, I grabbed one of the fry trays from her recently. He'll eventually do an egg collecting device that air lifts directly into the fry tray for sure.
Sure, if she wants to.
Love your videos man honestly 😮💨🙏🏻
Just bought myself one as well as a fry tray. You’re killing it my man keep it up! We the people need a fish room tour!
Brilliant!
what program do you use to make your designs? I want to learn how to make more detailed designs but I can only do simple ones using tinker cad at the moment.
I'm getting one of these. I have some beautiful CPDs that I bought locally to me. They're F1s from wild caught fish.
2.5 or 5 gallon bucket - cut out the bottom and replace with mesh. put bucket inside another tank, slightly elevated. put fish in bucket. put moss in bucket. feed fish. wait.
👍🏻👍🏻 great content and that’s pretty cool I’m gonna have to buy one….or a dozen
I se up an egg collector for CPD's and now I have a crap load of them LOL. They are easy and very hardy
Very slick.

Most of those, yes. African cichlids unfortunately are not very popular in my area so it's a bit tough to get into
Your fish content is the best I ever see on RUclips. Keep it up!
Now, if you just added an uplift tube to the back of it that we could attach to a breeder box
Have you tried incubating some eggs out of the water? Does it work with other species?
I personally have only tried with Corydoras but my assumption is that it would work for many species. I can't think of why it wouldn't.
great work! makes me wanna print one, although i don't even need it (right now) 🙄
is the small drain small enough to keep the eggs in?
I haven't found it to interact with the eggs at all. They don't flush out or anything.
You're the ianxofour of fish breeding. Great stuff as always.
Would love to be able to get a file for this to give to a friend to make me a few
Having seen a couple of other egg traps here on the ‘Tube,’ Lowell, this really does appear to be the better mouse trap. Cheers! ~Ron
I was hoping someone would get the mouse trap reference
@@MakeMoreFish 👍❗️🇺🇸
I may need one. Would be interesting with pea puffers.
best channel
Awesome video. And so close to the last one! We are spoiled 👍
Would love this trap if there was an airlift tube option. Any chance you could add one? Aloha 🤙🏽
Not to this design, but to another one yes
@@MakeMoreFish is there any way to be notified when it becomes available? I’d like to get a large trap that I can use in a 20 gal long.
With rocks do you suppose these would work for reticulated hillstream loaches?
It might. I'm not sure how much hillstream loaches position themselves directly above rocks or if they rely on current to carry and trap them in rocks downstream. It's always worth a try
There are 3d printed ones that connect to air and pull the eggs in to a hang on back nursery.
Yes there are. Very cool
have you tried the air suction one into hang on breeder? it is the way to go. 3D printed and uses air pump
I have. They're very cool.
Very nice
BLESSED BY ANOTHER LOWELL VIDEO!
Thats a crazy amount of eggs!! Was that just from afew days? 🤯🤯
That was from just a few hours. Really the most I have ever seen in such a short time. Granted, they were well conditioned.
@@MakeMoreFishthat is crazy! If I get 20 eggs from my breeding colony im wrapped 😅😅
I want one
Can I 3d print it
thanks some good info, would an egg collecter with air work that brings them to a external breederbucket?
just saw them on ur patreon, sorry ;)
Ya, I have some of those that I will share more on soon
wow that is amazing i great humor also
Alright, want the larger one. Etsy say sold out. Where do i sign up for one??
Etsy got ransacked. More on the way
RIP paramecium - that is a metric butt load of eggs/fry! You might want to start culturing your paramecium in 20L buckets going forwards 😬😜😆
I haven't lost a fry yet. Not one. The ordeal continues
That’s wow but I don’t have a 3d printer…
Brother I'm from India how to buy this product

@@MakeMoreFish indeed, my breeding tank for them is in the basement, with nearly zero ambient light.
Great, now I have to rest up so I can go wrestle with my printer. Is this how you plan on making your millions by breeding billions of CPD's? And just curious, I wonder what would be more efficient, the Lowell egg trap or those egg collection thingies?
I'm going to make TENS of dollars off those CPDs. Several tens of dollars. It'll be great
Depends on the collector. Both are very useful

I've used one of those and that was my first thought too. Until I saw the number of eggs he collected. The majority of the eggs sat at the bottom of the collection and the air lift wasn't strong enough to pull them all up.
Yep, coming soon.
@@MakeMoreFish great! Looking forward to it!
Just under 250 by my count. ❤
Do you think this would work for medaka?
Not really, they're more of a mop spawner so their eggs would stick to the vegetation and not fall down. A traditional spawning mop works great for them.
I got between 215 and 220 fry :D

Ok, I have searched and searched and cannot find his Etsy shop. Anyone know the name of his shop?
There are links in the youtube channel about section but fair warning, the shop has been absolutely ransacked. I can't keep anything in stock right now. It should calm down soon.
@@MakeMoreFish Thanks! I’m glad you’re getting sales. You deserve it!
4:36
I counted 233. There maybe less or more, but this is what I got.
That's a lot of fish. Thanks for counting
i want one how do i obtain this :)
Capitalism links are in the channel "about" section if you would like to print or order one.
To build a better egg trap or not to build a better egg trap? That is thy question
Verily
Have you seen the automatic egg trap ?
I have seen them. They're very cool.
Make more videos!
I will make several more videos.
are you ai generated ?
Yes
