A spawning mop probably?

Only use 100% acrylic/man made fibre though and boil a couple of times prior to use to rid it of excess dye.

hi evryone what is a spawing mop an whats it for?

 

[Mikaila31]

It is for fish that like to spawn on plants normally. I used one when I was breeding my boeseami rainbows in my community tank. I followed the same directions in BigC's link, they were very helpful. I used black yarn instead, my rainbows didn't seem to care and it made it easier to see the eggs.

The fish attach their eggs to the yarn, you take it out and carefully remove the eggs from the yarn. Then you move the eggs to the tank they are to be hatched in.

cheers,

thats no cory, and I know some cory breeder who just fill their tanks with spawning mops to collect the eggs. No harm done.

I use 100% acrylic yarn (boiled) for breeding Killis.
