Things You'll Need
- Old nylon pantyhose
- Wire coat hanger
- Pliers
- Scissors
- Wire cutters
- Glue
- 2 paper clips
Instructions
Cut the bottom straight piece from the coat hanger with a wire cutter. Bend it to form a square with pliers.
Cut the foot off of the pantyhose and stretch it around the wire square. Fold it over the wire and glue it in place. Glue the pantyhose to itself and not to the wire hanger. Allow the glue to dry completely.
Bend the paper clips open and hook one end around the wire hanger frame. Hook the other end onto the side of the tank. The breeding net should hang in the water.
Transfer the mother into the breeding net when she is ready to give birth. Once she has discharged her fry, remove her from the breeding net. Mothers can be cannibalistic and will eat the fry if left in the breeding net.
Leave the fry in the breeding net for a couple of days before putting them into the tank. Feed them when they are in the breeding net.
