Pure genius thanks for sharing. Another tip for treating breeder boxes out there, a vegan product called "Grapefruit Seed Extract" or GSE is very effective in cleaning your glassfront and plastic surfaces to prevent algae adhesion as well as serving as an antifungal! Comes in a bottle, wet your mag cleaner in the tank and drop 5-10 drops of GSE to the wet pad and just go to town cleaning inner surfaces. Works fantastic alongside monthly or bimonthly hydrated bentonite treatments at boosting fish vibrancy and gill health!

I’ve bought the same hatchery & fluval to copy this great setup, the only thing I’m missing is the length of pipe going from the hatchery & fluval hang on box. My question is do you know what thickness the tubing needs to be that connects the two box’s please?

Ha .... genius.... I already have that breeder thing you use for them to lay eggs in. I would make one comment. I was not happy with the flow in it. Even if I turned the air up high it wasn't pulling the babies down through the funnel and into the side nursery as it was designed to do. It does perform better if the outlet to the nursery side is under the water but I don't see a solution in your set up for that. Anyway, last time I did some work on my tank I took it out and cleaned it well. Then I took a glue gun and sealed up the slots in the birthing side below the green funnel part so that it could only pull water through from above and through the funnel. I am very happy with the results. Now I can see a good flow going down through the green funnel part from the top and it seems to have improved the flow pulling debris into the nursery side. I just did this like a week ago so I haven't had a female birthing yet to watch how well it works with fry vs. debris. The reason I like this birthing thing so much is that while you have a female waiting to give birth it provides flow vs. stagnant water ... and it pulls debris to the nursery tank making it easy to keep the birthing side clean. I would think that your system would be improved by doing the same. I would think it would improve pulling the eggs down through the mesh, through the funnel, and into the updraft stand. I don't know how big the eggs are .... if they are small they could find their way out of the breeder system through those slots. I mean ... I realize with water flow and gravity only a few would happen to drop through the slots ... but this would prevent even that. and damn you ... now you have me wanting to set up this system but I don't have room for even two 10 gallons. Also ... the only fish I'm interested in breeding and sell for enough money to make it worth the headache is shell dwellers and this would not work for them.

Thanks for the tip! I'm glad it solved your issue. I seem to get quite a few eggs through mine at the moment so I'm not going to mess with it but if I have any problems down the road I'll try your idea! Thanks again!

Looks like u can try to use this breeder box method for larger kinds of fish like rainbows or other kinds of egg scatters?

that's a major life hack!!!

glad you cleaned that up. i'd complain but i have no idea just how many tanks you have and how long it takes to take care of all of them. If you had a finer mesh net on the bottom of the breeder box, would that help seperate the poop from the eggs?

Great walkthrough video. I use a similar setup. I have noticed with the penn breeder box i get a lot of eggs stuck in there that doesnt want to get sucked down and out. My breeder colony is pretty small, (2f,1M) so when half the eggs get stuck in the green part of the box and fungus up, its annoying. Have you noticed any issues with that? or is there just so many eggs being produced you dont worry much about it? I switched to a diy pop bottle top collector, and have had less issues with eggs not finding their way to my hang on box.

To be honest, I haven't looked that closely at it so I'm not sure. I bet there are some eggs that never make it out though. I'm glad you were able to find a solution to that issue! Thank you for the kind words!

I havent watched the whole video yet (saving for later) but after watching the intro, I wanted to ask, what are the implications on inbreeding when going from 6 fish to 600? Been wondering about this for tank-bred fish in general too

@sydneysangels

Good question! Well, those 600 fish have been bred from that original group of adults plus a few offspring and another group purchased later on. Since the majority of the fry never see the breeding tank. I haven't had any problems so far

Thanks for all the tips here. I am finally getting some fry. I have one issue and I am wondering if you can help. The fry keep escaping out the back of the box. What sponge do you use to block it? I have tried a few methods and they either escape through the sponge or else the flow is restricted too much by a very dense sponge and the box overflows and they escape out the back, I can’t seem to find a happy medium with such small fry.
