DIY Breeder Box.

[Velksfish]

Think my play is pregnant and has been for awhile so I decide to make a breeder box for her. I made it out of a tupperware container and some extra suction cups i had.

What do you think?
Do i need to have her in there ??
How long do i give her ??
What can i do to get her to relax??


Here is the box



Here she is

She is kinda fuzzy through the plastic but it looks like she is very close. She is squared off so probably within the next 24 hours.

So i need to have her in the breeder box. Will she have them if she isn't in the box?

Ok.
Will she have them if she isn't in the box???

Yes, even if she is out if the box, she will still have offspring. If there are other fish in the tank with them, besides just the fry, you run the risk of them being eaten.

What do you think? Very Good. I use similar except with glass magnets.
Do i need to have her in there ?? Your choice.
How long do i give her ?? I would guess about 24-48hrs
What can i do to get her to relax?? Keep the lights off as much as possible

Had her in there yesterday and last night. And no babies. I took her out this morning because she seemed to be pretty stressed.

If she's getting stressed, best just to let her have them in the tank.....

Ok. That is what I was thinking.
