Eric what does that pot sit on in your tank any pics of the set up.bekateen wrote: ↑01 Jun 2023, 20:33 ADMIN note: Since this post and the previous five posts are about the Microglanis aff. poecilus eggs (not Amblydoras eggs), I'm moving these posts to the Microglanis aff. poecilus spawning thread.
I understand. I'm already using the needlepoint canvas on the egg catcher, but you're right that the fish can swim anywhere in the 10-gallon tank. The inverted pot with the synodontis-style setup sits atop the egg catcher they're already spawning over, so the pot itself should act as a water barrier to concentrate sperm to fertilize eggs at least as well as the flow-through canvas (which wouldn't restrict water flow or sperm dispersion).sturiosoma wrote: ↑01 Jun 2023, 19:28Yes but I believe you will have success if you can get them to spawn in the syno breeder you added to their tank, and maybe even a tank divider to lessen the available space, I have the plastic needlepoint canvas and suction cup dividers, I will post pics.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0824 ... psc=1,this plastic can be had in different widths, I guess what I'm trying to say is that with you only having 3 fish and one of which is a male and they are small fish, me personally I would put a divider in the tank and cramp their style, just my thoughts.

SPAWN #6: I arrived at work today to find 4 eggs in the egg catcher under the Synodontis pot, but the eggs weren't directly beneath the pot... I don't know if these eggs were released inside or outside of the pot but they did fall into the egg catcher.
I don't have rainwater, but I do have RO water. I've moved these four eggs into one of the FLUVAL breeder boxes with an airstone (not bubble-through flow) and I filled the box with RO water, not tank water. Let's see what happens.
If this fails, the other thing I'm contemplating to employ is an actual egg tumbler. I have one of the Cobalt style egg tumblers.
Cheers, Eric
Below is one of the pots I made using the concept for Synodontis but adding a mop inside. I call it "mop-in-a-pot."
I'll take a pic tomorrow when I return to work.sturiosoma wrote: ↑08 Jun 2023, 16:54Eric what does that pot sit on in your tank any pics of the set up.
