Is there a commercially made floating Hoplo breeding lid?

Post by daddyseal »

I'm (and my hoplos too) having trouble getting my rimmed butter tub lid to float level.
Is there a better one I can buy or make, please?

AFAIK there is nothing commercially available but you can achieve a level bu siliconing pieces of polystyrene sheet in place because it is so buoyant.

Or try different style lids etc

Jacob: Yeah not with another fu**!ng guy!
Lou: It's still a three-way!

I like your idea on a larger piece of styrofoam siliconed to the top...THAT would solve my problem.
Thanks, friend~

It should assuming you've got that setting set in the User Control Panel and it's not going into your spam folder. If that regularly doesn't work, post a bug report and we'll look at it for you.

Cheers,
