sorry i have never used a breeding net, but do you have some dense plant's you could drop into the bottom of the net so that they can hide in them.

 

[salts155]

no only floating plants, will a plastic bottle cut in half with hole cut in it work u tink,
thanks for the reply

Do you have a small net that you could catch the fry in until you can take the mother out of the breeding trap?

 

[salts155]

no we have to improvise. not sure what with though.

 

[boeingtech]

you could try as long as there are no sharp edge's and the mum can't get stuck in the hole just watch you don't stress her to much.

got a metal cooking sieve or can get plants from the garden. dont want the fry to be eaten, she was starting to get really aggressive. what about part of a plastic raincover with holes in?

hahaha I have the best solution for keeping fry in same tank without getting eaten ::.

Get a Sieve like this one:

TURN IT UPSIDE DOWN and put the fry underneath it that way you can keep both in the same tank .

the Sieve could be a sort of nursery

using the mop holder of a bucket. any more ideas would be appreciated thanks for your ideas so far panic attack almost over!

 

[salts155]

[BlackWidow]

I just said USE A SIEVE, read above man!

 

[salts155]
