Default Petricola catfish breeding setup

Here i put this in it's own thread so i could explain it a bit on how it works. Here's overall pic:


And inside a pot:



Now, there's two pots, this is mainly so that the only places the petro's will go is into the pots to hide and spawn.

They will do their thing inside, the eggs will fall into the marble like structure, and that PVC with holes in it will suck the eggs up, push them through a tube and up into a "catcher" so that the parents cannot eat the eggs and they can go off and be tumbled. Each uptube intake is powered by a airpump.

I am just getting ready to condition the females, so hopefully soon i will see spawnings. And with the new macro lense i anticipate good photo's of the eggs as they are tiny!

Feel free to ask any questions. Had a lil help from Fishnut on figuring how to catch the eggs
