what did i miss??

Posted: **Wed Aug 10, 2005 8:12 am**

the closest I got was about a weeks time if I am not mistaken it was only 5 days, after removing the eggs from the first female a second female was inside and spawned a few days later the bad thing about this is that on the third attempt he ate all the eggs, this particular male got much skinner than the other males but is still the most dominant fish in the tank. Good Luck Jerms and try to give him some rest.

What kind of fry trap is that? Where did you get it from?

Posted: **Thu Aug 11, 2005 11:15 pm**

Hey Glockfu,
here it is....I think Adam might have mentioned this type of trap a while ago...
http://www.bigalsonline.com/catalog/pro ... d1=;pcid2=
Its really cool!!! I took all the inside panels out and it has a airstone connected to a spray bar thing...... My current is pretty strong so I put it on the right and it goes through pretty well.....I dont know what to do when i pull these other eggs out...Should I just put them in the same fry trap??

Hey Jerms,

Congrats on the second spawn, there's no stopping you now. They should be fairly regular from here on now that they have got the hang of things.

Sorry can't take the credit for the fry trap, I started using that particular brand after I saw Dr P use one for his fry. If you silicone the spray bar and the other bits through which the air travels it will produce a better flow.

As for the second batch of fry you could put them in togather with the first ones as the age gap is very small and the size difference will not be much. Nice looking fry by the way.

Regards.

Adam

Glockfu,

I have one that is identical and I got mine from Petsmart. They are around $15 US. You can get it at Big als much cheaper but if you need one quick Petsmart is an option. Plus you would have to pay for shipping from big als.

As for the Spray bar, I don't use it at all. I find that I get much better flow without it. I just keep the elbow piece with the adjustable flow knob. At feeding time I turn down the flow.

why don't you just use a tetra sponge filter the same as what barbie is using if you can find one or use this one http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/p ... 1&siteid=6 it keeps all the dirt out and the water that gets in the trap is filtered
