* I HOPE YOU SEE THIS * in regards to tops for those jars, in the uk we have a store called wilkinsons they sell these large white tubs of fish food in there(no doubt there will be a similar product in the us) the lids fit air tight and perfect on the vase, i use them for sealed plant ecospheres. i hope this helps :)
@@deansfishroom hi, thank you for your reply, unfortunatly i dont have any spares at this point in time and no longer use the fish food i described as i now keep marine rather than tropical. good luck finding an alternative :)
Of course I’m watching his two years later. But on your second piece with the vase I’m thinking a clear saucer liner and putting holes in it with a woodburning tool.
I think freaking out family is half the fun. A few years back I was dabbling in mycology and used the kitchen table to build my breathable grow jars. I think it was the highlight of my grandparents’ month because they had so much fun telling all of their friends about their granddaughter, the mad scientist. Grandpa would sit down next to me and ask me to explain everything to him. He would sit there with the silly grin on his face the whole time and I just knew he only understood half of what I was talking about, but he just enjoyed listening to how passionate I was about my projects. Then, invariably, he would ask me when my guppies will get big enough to eat. LOL I miss him so much.
This is genius, and much better for the fish than those store bought fry traps that only hold a cup of water, keeping those precious baby fish within an inch or two of the adults mouth. Plus you can put more than one female in the trap at a time and they have room to swim not just barely enough room to turn around. The black coloration also helps to keep them calm throughout their birthing process. Why didn't I think of this? Oh wait I'm the guy in the video ;) Can't wait to see what's next.....
Love your work, Dean! About those plastic lids. Depending on the type of plastic it is putting it under a hair dryer on its high setting for a while might warm it up enough to let you warp the center of the lid into the shape you want. :)
How do I stop my female guppies from jumping out over the basket into the tank tho? Lol I’ve tried almost everything at this point and they’re still jumping like no tomorrow. A few have ended up on the ground. Thanks in advance for your help
@@bigcheapskate simply lay a thin piece of plexiglass on top of the floating basket. You can get it from Home Depot. Or a piece of that cross-stitch plastic mesh from JoAnns or Michael’s. Just be sure to put it back on after feeding.
Another great DYI idea from the wisdom of great aquarists, your creativity is appreciated. Other retailers would rather sell us a finished product. The fact that you help us do ourselves when we can, makes us confident what you sell is what we need. Thanks again, Jim
I'm becoming a junior him with DIY and PVC contraptions. Imagine spending 3/4 of your free time trying to figure out how to rig the exit of a system or where you can find something to cushion a magnet against the tank and welcome to Dean&I's world. I might try to shoot a video of the magnet trick and submit it to Corey
This is brilliant. I can even see this working for African cichlids that are holding and ready to spit. You could even leave the female in afterwards to let her rest and eat. Love this!
This should be a lot of fun!!! Love the interaction between the two of you...you can tell you are true friends! Such a simple, yet perfect solution. Please keep the no fuss, easy does it, inexpensive tips coming!!!
Hey just wanna say thank you guys for everything all the knowledge and entertainment any time I’m working on fish stuff got to have a you tube fish video in the background most of those are y’all keep up the good work
Not even going to lie, Dean is what i call "fish room daddy" that man is so straight to the point everytime he says something. Anytime someone tries to explain what he just said and does it wrong Dean chimes in with "yeah but no" and continues to give more examples. I honestly love Dean and i see why you do too, never met either of you but i respect you both. But really tho, more Dean is seriously what I want to see. Some other guy made a video on Dean doing baby brine and showing how it was done and that is my go to video, i had to favorite it because it was so hard to find. Does that man have a book becuase i want to show some support for my fish daddy! But not in a weird way, super respectful way!
Awesome, hell yes want more. Love the combination of Dean an Cory, your funny informative an extremely helpful. We want more. Plus Dean quit your job an join Cory Pleassssseeee 🤞🤞
What an awesome idea! I am totally going to buy the supplies for this project and make this soon. Looking forward to next week diy with Dean. Thank you. 😁
I fix glasses at work all day long. Plastic frames of different grades always. I use a dry heater to mold and bend frames. TRY THE HAIR DRYER and water as needed to cool it. Love everything you all do. Tank on!
I actually clicked on this thinking it was for a Fish Fry(Cooking) LOL I do hydroponics so I've been tapping into you guys air line tech. Great vids thanks.
Table top Tuesday love it guys keep up the grate work love from the uk 🇬🇧ps I always end up spending money when I watch your videos just ordered my pond basket so I can try it for my african cichild fry thanks again
For about 2 years I used the basket and tank as a simple sump. Fill the basket with polifill an sponge of your choosing than your heater and pump drop down into the tank. No Holes required and easy maintenance.
I made one of these about 2 months ago for my long fin danios to spawn in and it works great. Threw in a spawning mop and they were happy. I have used it for my larger guppies but they do have to be rather large to not fit through the holes on the sides. I used foam pipe insulation and/or pool noodle with a slit cut in it to get it to float.
Hi dean and cory I love that idea it’s quick and easy. Please make more videos like this. I’ve taking a peanut butter jar clean it out and I put cermaric rings and poly foam too I drill holes in the cap and at the bottom of the plastic jar and put a air line to push the water through.
Love the small foam strip idea! I’ve been using these baskets for a while but always zip tied pipe insulation or pool noodle to the top edges.. this gives a much cleaner look thou!
Loved this video! This whole time I've been using those same baskets, but doubling them up to get them to float..... Thank you for the idea, I really appreciate it!😁😁😁😁
I use a bit of CLR first on used tanks.....gets the calcium right off....same thing with Vinegar....rinse it well CLR is safe for coffee makers and works wonders there...so I tried it on free 20g test tank.....looks new, and still holds for 3 years later
I use the cutlery baskets with suction cups for my snail eggs. I don't know about America, but in Australia you can buy clear planters and saucers. Perhaps Dean could use the saucers for lids.
Fantastic just what I was looking for because the breeder boxes I have are too small I showed the wife and she said that's a great idea and I said just need to pick up more tanks she gave a look and said I guess hehe got her
I been using the same system for years and I found if the top is close to the water level the females will jump out back into the tank. Keeping the top 30mm above the water will stop them. Even though a couple of more determined fish still managed to get back into the tank. I use office plastic trays they are a lot cheaper than the plastic pond pots. Office tray$2.00 pond tray $12. I also found that if you just let it float in the tank with some weed in it and around it the fry will make their way into it to stay safe while the females are in the tank.
DIY backgrounds. I paint mine black. 1 part paint, 2 parts Elmers glue. Takes a couple coats but peels right off if you don’t like it. You can use acrylic craft paint to make it cheep and easy
*** I HOPE YOU SEE THIS *** in regards to tops for those jars, in the uk we have a store called wilkinsons they sell these large white tubs of fish food in there(no doubt there will be a similar product in the us) the lids fit air tight and perfect on the vase, i use them for sealed plant ecospheres. i hope this helps :)
Just a suggestion: If you turn those blue lids upside down they will drain inside the egg hatching vases. I use that trick ink the kitchen when I can't find a lid that fits the pot I'm using. A larger lid will always drip outside the pot....unless you turn it upside down.

@@DmaC-dw1mx Well, I'm not in need of fish food, so just send me a couple used lids. . . ?
@@deansfishroom hi, thank you for your reply, unfortunatly i dont have any spares at this point in time and no longer use the fish food i described as i now keep marine rather than tropical. good luck finding an alternative :)
You could always use zip ties use 1 for each side

About those plastic lids. Depending on the type of plastic it is putting it under a hair dryer on its high setting for a while might warm it up enough to let you warp the center of the lid into the shape you want. :)
Hey Dean, You might be able to silicone the excess foam from the breeder basket on the lip of the blue lid and make a seal around the jar.
How do I stop my female guppies from jumping out over the basket into the tank tho? Lol I’ve tried almost everything at this point and they’re still jumping like no tomorrow. A few have ended up on the ground. Thanks in advance for your help

This is going to be great every Tuesday it's going to be a Comedy Show with Dean & Cory!🤣🤣👍🌿🍃🌿

I love it when Dean comes in and shows us his knowledge please keep making these videos
Love Dean would love to spend some time in his head.His knowledge of the hobby is incredible.

Never enough of Dean! Can he be on a livestream again?
More please. The two of you have so much knowledge to share. Thank you for sharing.

Educational and Comical, its a win-win. Thanks Cory and MB Dean.
Pure genius and much simpler than sewing the plastic grid canvas!
Been there, done that, it takes forever.
You two are the best dynamic duo
Yes. Perfect. I already got the pond basket due to a previous video a while ago. Love the idea about the foam since it does sink easily.
Love the table top Tuesday idea! Looking forward to learning from you two.
Order Placed Using Links enjoy your dinner Dean you guys are the best. Thank You for all that y’all do. Keep up the good work…
Your fry trap is a great idea, and so cheap and easy. Great job, Dean! Can't wait to see what you come up with next. 👍😎

More Tabletop Tuesdays with Dean!
I absolutely love this. Any tips and tricks you and the master breeder have I will gladly listen to.
Great diy project !
Hi dean and cory I love that idea it’s quick and easy. Please make more videos like this. I’ve taking a peanut butter jar clean it out and I put cermaric rings and poly foam too I drill holes in the cap and at the bottom of the plastic jar and put a air line to push the water through.

Cheers for the content Cory & Dean
I use something very similar for my spawning zebra danios. Well done guys. From the uk
Loved this video! This whole time I've been using those same baskets, but doubling them up to get them to float..... Thank you for the idea, I really appreciate it!😁😁😁😁
Nice video. I just grabbed a couple of these and this video popped up. Great idea. Ty
Great content - very informative and a great idea. Yes! More, please!!!
Love these DIY projects, tips and tricks.
Yes!!!! Thanks so much!!! USA
I think that is a AWESOME idea, where I could use 1 to thin
the big fry from the small 1's in the grow out tank, great Idea.
Fun with Dean!! Awesome 🤩
I think you owe dean lots of dinners, lol. Love the videos guys!
I use skimmer baskets from swimming pools for shrimp towers and for breeding. Cool video!
Great video, I’ll definitely be using these tips for my mollies
Just made 2 of these to put my albino red wag swordtails in. They fit perfectly in my 20 gallon tall that I'll be housing the fry in!
I've done this for years in my koi pond but I used pool noodles and zip ties. Great Idea!
Awesome idea! ✌🏼
Loved it. Terry&ThePirates
I’ve used these for a years now and they work great. The difference is that I keep my adults in the tank and net the fry out of the basket.
Will definitely be trying this!!
Good job on the demonstration.
Been working on some prototypes for these! Love this one.
I use a bit of CLR first on used tanks.....gets the calcium right off....same thing with Vinegar....rinse it well
CLR is safe for coffee makers and works wonders there...so I tried it on free 20g test tank.....looks new, and still holds for 3 years later
Rinsing tips from King Dean - WHO KNEW THEY USE DAWN IN OIL SPILLS WHAT!!? KING DEAN YOU ARE SO WISE
I use the cutlery baskets with suction cups for my snail eggs.
I don't know about America, but in Australia you can buy clear planters and saucers. Perhaps Dean could use the saucers for lids.
Love this keep them coming!
I love you both!!! Keep on making vids together!!!
going to try this for my egg scatters
Fantastic just what I was looking for because the breeder boxes I have are too small I showed the wife and she said that's a great idea and I said just need to pick up more tanks she gave a look and said I guess hehe got her

Liking it yes continue to Tuesday tips
I absolutely love this video hope we get more
Awesome video 👍😊 I’m gonna do one of those with Java moss and get some guppies 😊
love DIY. Simple stuff from the store can be real pricey.
Love it!
Great video, great content, keep up the amazing work!
DIY backgrounds. I paint mine black. 1 part paint, 2 parts Elmers glue. Takes a couple coats but peels right off if you don’t like it. You can use acrylic craft paint to make it cheep and easy
Yes, I want to see more!!
*** I HOPE YOU SEE THIS *** in regards to tops for those jars, in the uk we have a store called wilkinsons they sell these large white tubs of fish food in there(no doubt there will be a similar product in the us) the lids fit air tight and perfect on the vase, i use them for sealed plant ecospheres. i hope this helps :)
It's amazing something we can get in the UK that's awesome off to Wilkinson for me, thank you
love these idea love to see more ty
CICHLIDS.....gonna try in my peacock cichlid nursery
Richard Purvis how did it work? I currently have 4 cichlids holding
Great idea! You could run a zip tie through the mesh to hold the foam in place, also.
Just a suggestion: If you turn those blue lids upside down they will drain inside the egg hatching vases. I use that trick ink the kitchen when I can't find a lid that fits the pot I'm using. A larger lid will always drip outside the pot....unless you turn it upside down.
Thank you for sharing this video 👍😀
great idea bro i love diy too
Love to see more
