Thanks Isias,
I guess I’m breeding for numbers so I will consentrate my efforts on other methods.

Hello,
I know this post is a year old at least but I’m just starting out my breeding and was wondering about this egg trap conversation. I just bought all the supplies to make the DIY egg trap and then found this conversation saying that the egg trap was not developed for this and likely will not be successful. I was hoping I could get some updates on whether it’s worth bothering with them or not. Currently I have two 10 gallon (40 liter ish) tanks with air driven sponge filters and heaters (as I like my apartment cold). I am leaving the tanks bare bottomed and was planning on using the Pyrex dish wish java moss for them to spawn in. But if the results will be better most the time to move parents from tank to tank and just go without the trap then that’s probably what I’ll do. I’m trying to patiently do too much research because I’m waiting for the lfs to get my cpd’s in from an order. Any advice or updates on this topic would be great!
Thanks,
Ben
Hey Ball Aquatics,
I read in one of your past posts that you use pure spirulina to create your green water. This sounds like alot less hastle than leaving a bucket out in the sun (exspecially when you live in a climate like me and thats only possible for half the year). I was wondering if you still did that and where you got the Spirulina? I have found it for humans but the only stuff I have found that was created for fish that I can find is usually mixed in with brine shrimp or something. Is the stuff they sell at the nutrition stores the same? Also I was wondering about Daphnia; at what age do you thing that would be an option? I’m having a hard time finding anything to feed the fry, I dont know why but the only thing I’m really finding is Hikari First Bites and I’d Like to get them on live food as soon as possible as everyone seems to agree that makes them grow faster/ healthier.
Thanks!
Ben
