:hi:
I read jobys article on the L134 pleco spawing :)thumbup: )
I wondered what was the best breeding fry trap for L pleco fry?
I would buy one that she has, but i cant get hold of smithrc.
Any help would be great :)
I know she lost fry when they left the cave, but none when she
put the cave in a fry trap. How could i do the same thing?

Thankyou :D
:thumbup: to all who help

get to Ikea for the spice rack. drill some holes at one end place a sponge in front of it and have an air filter trickling water in to it. Job done.

most from a shop will do, as long as you have somewhere in your tank it can hang where there is good flow such as output from a filter. can be hard with tanks with curved fronts or lips and things which limit where a fry saver can fit.
avoid the net ones as other fish can suck on the eggs through the net.

I love using a good old tea strainer...the middle sized one, you usually buy them in 3's.
Works well.. I simply place over the air bubble from my sponge filter...
But the normal 4 dollar ones work well also...I think the strainer lets more air in tho...

Try this place Superfish Easy Breeding Box if the item doesn't come up then just put it in the search facility. Be warned though I know someone that has had them on order for 2 weeks and still not arrived and my order has been in for a week :wb: but they do turn up and I know peeps that recommend them :thumbup:
