Pelagic Spawners

[ab5ebdxer]

Does any one have a good tank design to help capture the eggs from these fish? Any device that can be used as a overflow that will collect the eggs?

Thanks,

Mike

I don't have a design, but I know that many public aquaria use egg collecting devices on their larger systems. Maybe reach out to one and see if they can tell you what they are using.

A quick search with Google scholar turned up this:

Thanks for the link! That article is from 1983...imagine what they really knew about Pelagic Spawners then. I read a thread on here some years ago about capturing Mandarin eggs. That is what I am trying to prepare for.
