Marina 3 In 1 Floating Breeding Trap?

[Amberleaf]

Because I just bought it today; I need it so that I can save the guppy fry that one of the pregnant guppies at school will have, but, for some reason, it kind of looks like the young little fry are meant to fall in to the tank, and not be safely held in a little compartment below the mother in the breeding trap....?

Well, I need to know how to set it UP, mainly.... Thanks. :3 Any help would be *very* greatly appreciated! ^^;

 

[Amberleaf]

? I KIND OF need help, heres.

does this one have the V in the middle to hold the mother?

 

[Amberleaf]

Umms.... it has something called the "V-insert"? So, yeahs; I guesses? >

^^;

 

[mystus]

does that piece also have slots for the fry to go through?

 

[Amberleaf]

....Yes.

 

[mystus]

and the bottom panel has holes to?

 

[Amberleaf]

Eerrmm.... Yes.

Unfortunately.

 

[mystus]

are you sure you trap isn't upside down?

does your trap look like this? http/www.youtube.com/watch?v=RcJwsexAS4A or http/www.youtube.com/watch?v=wp_3o1aSvUM&feature=fvw

 

[Amberleaf]

Yes, I'm pretty sure it's not; I tried to set it up the way it looks like on the package -- it's this one. ^^; (And why didn't I exactly just get a picture BEFORE?! ^^; DX)

Also, it's quite similar to the first one. ^^;

When I searched the name i found this video and it says that the holes on the bottom are air holes and the livebearer cry are just big enough not to fall through. Heres the link if you want to watch it and well try the livebearer section and see if they can help you even more.

Good luck

 

[Amberleaf]

Ah, okayies; THANKSIES!!!! ^^;

I will bring it to school tomorrow; and put it in my teacher's tank with the pregnant guppy in it, that is, if she hasn't given birth, ALREADY. ^^; ^^; ;D

Thoughs traps can cause the fish to abort the birth because it can stress her out to much just FYI so be careful.
