Hello. :) Do you ever find yourself awake at 3am with wandering thoughts and have an idea? Well, I?m wondering? Cathy uses a clear plastic breeding trap, and I use the mesh nets. I?m wondering if this has anything to do with it? The clear plastic boxes usually look nice and clean in pictures I?ve ...

Hello. :) I do the same as Pleco_breeder, and just use tubing (from my gravel siphon) to collect them. It?s a bit fiddly. I siphon them into a bucket, as I don?t get a good flow if I siphon to tank height. I then stand on a chair and siphon them again from the bucket into the breeding net. (Which is ...

The egg batches are the same size as the first and I have about a 99% survival rate. I know fish aren't people but I wouldn't feel too good having one child ...
