Two Net Breeders?

[leighann]

i have two VERY pregnant platys and i was wondering if i should buy two sperate breeders or can i put them both in one?

Two would probably cause problems. You'd be looking at your highest probability of aborting fry there as the space is small to begin with and fish that birth want more space before birthing.

you can buy ones wiht dividers in, i personally wouldnt put them in together though
so think it would be better to buy divided one or seperate ones

 

[leighann]

ok thank you.i'll be sure to pick another one up today

ok cool,
good luck with the babys,
ive just got loads of baby swordtails from 3 of my females so theres alot,
had one in divided breeding tanks and one had them in the tank so didnt get them all

WHat someone mentioned awhile ago was getting 3 or 4 and kinda cutting off one part of each one and sewing them all together so it was a REALLY big net breeder.

I think I mentioned that a while back, but sewing it together isn't the easiest task. You'd probably have to use fishing line.

I did that once and I used coconut shavings, they are very strong.

Coconut shavings will eventually decay, but it's probably not going to happen in the time you're using it to hold your nets together. As long as you aren't using them for an extended period of time. I'd replace them regularly.

I lost my breeder when I went with my dad
to florida.
