Breeding cage/nets

[Wyld-Fyre]

I'm considering buying a breeding cage/net, but before I do, I'd like someone to tell me whether these are successful or a waste of money.

Thank you.

it depends what your trying to breed.

If it's something like guppies it would be useful, but if your breeding oscars they would have limited use

Sorry, I should've been more clearer......

Long-finned leopard danio's. Egg layers. I need to seperate the parents from eating the eggs they've laid.

My thoughts are that the parent fishes would get stressed from being confined then they'd stop/abort laying their eggs.

breeding traps are no use for egglayers i think, try get a small tank..a 5 gal and a layer of marbles on the bottom of the tank.

I find that if the case is not serious, they make a good tempory hospital tank and always make a good "bully box"! But if the fish is giving birth, it just makes them stressed!
