Re: ummm .... help?

I never had much luck with the breeder nets. I usually use a bare bottom 10G tank the remove the mom and dad. The fry can then be fed without fear they will be eaten. Frequent water changes and lots of good food make them grow fastest.

Re: ummm .... help?

yea, i like that method too. the nets can stress the mother, food can fall through it, fry can fall out, the net can fall apart.. they're better than the little breeder boxes but still i've heard plenty of breeding disasters caused by them.
