I created the same trap for the CPDs a few days ago. I haven't started on it. But you forgot to hot glue the sides of the trap that's in the water. This way it forces the flow through the mesh only. That might be why you didn't have good suction.
I've kept rainbow shiners for a couple of years. It's completely anecdotal, but the light on their tank has a sunrise/sunset mode. I swear the orange/red color the light gives off in the morning tricks them into thinking the other fish are firing up. They are spawning nearly every morning right now. I keep them upper 60s year round, had 100s of fry last year. Also, not necessary, but don't be afraid to turn up the flow. They are creek fish and like to play in front of the power heads. I'm not an expert, by any means, just my experience.
No, I don't like to ship, and the fry at that quanity were a TON of work. They grow slowly! I gave some to friends, put several out in a 170gal stock tank pond (ended up feeding a heron with most of those 😭) This year instead of collecting 100s of eggs, every few weeks after they spawn I gravel vac their tank. Leave the mulm and all in a 5 gal bucket and after a couple of weeks baby fish start to swim around. When they are free swimming I move them to a shrimp tank. Helps keep micro fauna in check and I don't have to feed fry multiple times a day. I don't get nearly as many fish that way, but more than enough to keep my colony going.
It’s cool to see the contraption that I put together be used by so many people. You’ll find there are some modifications that can be made to make it better, but that will always be the case with something like this. Best of luck with the rainbow shiners as this was the other species of fish I wanted to try it out on besides CPDs and haven’t gotten to it yet.
I have no idea what you're talking about, especially in summertime. I'm really enjoying the rice fish and the rainbow shiners content as well as the tank tops I mean topless patio ponds, I mean shoulders oh silly me, I mean the breeding setups oh s*** I'm just going to stop speaking now.😊
(OK FINE... straight up.. Hell it's Pride month I will come clean... the innuendo and subtlety is driving me insane Mike does have one of the best fish channels that lines up with what I do with my collection quite well and I have always had similar philosophies to his.

I've used LRB's homemade mesh box to float in a 20 gal for egg scatterer fish, Zebra/Leopard Danios, etc, put the fish in the box for a week or two, pull the box out with the fish in, and find fry in the tank every time. This is a very interesting method, pulling the eggs out from the fish, instead of the other way around as I've been doing it, might have to build this. Keep us updated
I stuck a sponge prefilter over the end of my Python Hook (Like you put on the intake of a HOB filter). If it fits loose just put a ziptie around it. It will keep critters from going in. It helps diffuse the water when filling so it doesn't beat up the substrate as much too.
Cheers from my fish room channel in Chicago! I've actually been to Dan's fish room at Sydney's Angels (super great person) and purchased many fish from him. AND, I bought a group of White Clouds from White Cloud Dynasty, where you got those shiners. So we are on the same page :)
One of the other RUclips channels hot glued the side vents closed , once that is done the egg collection are has more suction. I’m using this process for CPDs. Shout out to white cloud dynasty! Great fish.
your outside the tank box should have come with a little guitar pick looking bit right? you c an attach that to the bottom of it to keep it from tilting.
I've tried the egg trap method and found it to be ok, It did work, but ive since just let my fish do there thing and am experimenting to see if it would just be easier to leave the fry with the adults, hopefully they don't get eaten.
What are your thoughts on Cory being so indecisive when it comes to his fish room? Reason I’m asking is because I know all that work you both did wasn’t easy and cost a lot. Seems like he wants too tear those tanks down.
Did a 50% on my 40 gallon stream tank the other day and one of my bigger shiners from White Cloud Dynasty popped 6" above the water. I've never been more grateful for these stupid black Aqueon tank rims 😅
Amazon has it Python Hose also I use a brass quick release that's attached to my sink's facet which I leave on to a dedicated sink also the hook is a Godsend with a Aquaclear 110 intake strainer on the end
14 to 15 hours of sunlight to get fish to breed. The fish are more comfortable in that tank because you have floating plants. More floating plants more comfort level.
This video is so perfectly timed. I just saw some rainbow shiners in a local fish shop and I really want to get some and breed them since they are somewhat rare in my area of the world.
I've just ordered a few rainbow shiners which will go into a 1/2 barrel "pond". They will need to winter over inside. What is the minimum tank size for 12 of these fish. I'd like to be able to set it up so I can collect eggs as you have shown here. Please advise. I have not had an aquarium for several years. The last being a 110 gallon salt water set-up, which I sold. Thank You.
if you really want these to breed you should put like 1-2 inch river rocks ont he bottom and give them a gentle current... maby a longer tank too. also live food like brineshrimp.
There's a hook for the python 😭 I built a PVC one because I never knew they made one. Awesome shiners btw, beautiful looking fish that I'll have to look into further.
Its a TRAP! whos used this exact method to collect eggs???
Check out the "complete" egg trap video - ruclips.net/video/wSAIOeHeTog/видео.html
Works great on CPDs

@@laureanostella ill try that out
Saw this method on Sydney's Rainbows channel and it works AMAZING!! Good on you for bringing more attention to it!

Your speaking from experience. Thats as good as any experts opinion.
he knows its pride month....
thank you for your tank top contributions
Great video to promote the diy stuff! Props for shouting out to Sydney’s angels he’s got such a decent setup 👌
I can't resist watching when he's wearing a tank top 🥵❤
The TRAP! ;-)
nice video keep them coming love from the uk

What kind of water hose set is that at 2:30?
Python is the brand.

Great tip!
Mike great video. Will be nice to see how successful it is.

Thats dope!!!!! 😎😎😎
I screwed on a threaded PVC T on my hook, diverts the flow fairly well
I can’t wait for you to do the same set up for the rainbow fish you have!
Looks like a neat idea 😄
GRATITUDE💥🐟💥
I've not seen that egg collecting contraption before, so I'm really interested in seeing if you get some success with it.
I would put a solar charger on those battery driven air pumps so it would charge and run during the day and could operate at night too!! ;)
I use a magnet to remove unwanted aquasoil from my aquarium, aquasoil has iron in it, so it sticks to magnet 😊
Maybe try some moss in the tray with the rocks. Would attract them more to area to release eggs
I think I've seen something similar done with galaxy rasboras. Would love to try this.❤
The components have been in my cart for months but want to see others success first. Please keep us updated.
One of the other RUclips channels hot glued the side vents closed , once that is done the egg collection are has more suction. I’m using this process for CPDs. Shout out to white cloud dynasty! Great fish.
Been hoping the Co-op will come out with something like this.
your outside the tank box should have come with a little guitar pick looking bit right? you c an attach that to the bottom of it to keep it from tilting.
ya i eventually found it :)
I've tried the egg trap method and found it to be ok,
It did work, but ive since just let my fish do there thing and am experimenting to see if it would just be easier to leave the fry with the adults, hopefully they don't get eaten.
Add a T piece to the pipe so your water doesn't come straight down.

thats wild!!!!
Absolutely love the hose! Where can I get it?
Amazon has it Python Hose also I use a brass quick release that's attached to my sink's facet which I leave on to a dedicated sink also the hook is a Godsend with a Aquaclear 110 intake strainer on the end
I love Rainbow Shiners. You can find them in the creeks just south of me.
@@jamesholbrook7785 lucky! Do they loook like this???
@@AQUAPROS I don’t believe most of them color up like yours.
I made my own hook from a hob I'm not using and it works awesome.

When will the Legit Nano Feed be back in stock? I'd prefer just to buy from you instead of other places I can find it.
Maybe the rainbow shiners were more worried about things attacking from above. So, they might have been more comfortable seeing you from the side? :)
I was waiting for my fish to be large enough to breed before buying this. Now I have to buy it before it is out of stock.
Hahaha i think youll be fine ;)
Beautiful fish
Bred all year round in my tank at 25c sorry I'm from UK we don't do fahrenheit!
Came for the knowledge, stayed for the synthwave transitions
if you really want these to breed you should put like 1-2 inch river rocks ont he bottom and give them a gentle current... maby a longer tank too. also live food like brineshrimp.
More videos with tank top and shorts please!
not sure if bait shops still keep these, but you used to be able to buy these for fishing for real cheap.
The weak suction is due to the low water level in the tank.
Came here for the fish, will come back for the dude :o
rainbow shiners are extremely underrated
thats what im sayin!!!!!!
There's a hook for the python 😭 I built a PVC one because I never knew they made one. Awesome shiners btw, beautiful looking fish that I'll have to look into further.
your jawline is so beautiful
His everything is beautiful
Fish don't technically need light
That's not a pond that's a fuckin plant pot
nice armpit hair bro
Thanks 😅 havnt shaved it in 33 years!
