evilknieval69 Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 After you showed me these ones mark i went and got some of that mesh (not just for these, its perfect for breeding tetras ) and i made my own (just incase) I made mine different though. I cut out as much of the bottom as i could, and cut out two of the sides aswell, so mine has the bottom and two sides covered in mesh. I didnt cut the lid at all, oh and i also siliconed the poly to the outside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caryl Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 Quick and easy. I have seen them done like this too but, as evil said, with sides cut out as well. Easier to see how they are getting along if you can see through the sides. Thanks for the pics and all too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthewY Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 Just found this old posting and thought thats what I'm trying to achieve right now. I'm actually just got some small containers with a mesh over it (the bags that hold activated carbon rocks in) and a plant sticking out of the mesh to attract the little guys over. Trying to get my tetras to breed, they keep eating the eggs.... do you have updated links to the pictures, Would be great to see what works (my one doesnt seem to be doing all that well) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 Since you are in Wgtn, arrange a visit to billaney's place. He has made full mesh breeding traps and they work well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
