* 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 :)
@@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
Of course Iâm watching his two years later. But on your second piece with the vase Iâm thinking a clear saucer liner and putting holes in it with a woodburning tool.
This is going to be great every Tuesday it's going to be a Comedy Show with Dean & Cory!đ€Łđ€Łđđżđđż
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. :)
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 Iâve tried almost everything at this point and theyâre 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 Michaelâs.
Just be sure to put it back on after feeding.
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 grandparentsâ 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.
Lol my godfather was a Fisherman for years one day I was showing him my fish room and he noticed my cherry shrimp and asked how long till they get big enough to eat.
Gotta love dad jokes.âš
The world is now a better place and the hole in my life filled. Thank you!
I love it when Dean comes in and shows us his knowledge please keep making these videos
Never enough of Dean! Can he be on a livestream again?
Love Dean would love to spend some time in his head.His knowledge of the hobby is incredible.
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
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
Dean! The man, the myth, the legend.
Thanks for this tabletop Tuesday! Good info.
The Most knowledgeable Iâve ever felt leaving a âFish Fryâ
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!!!
HaHaHa, I was waiting to see what the glass of water was for, then Dean took a drink of it . Ha.! Got me good.
Dean's the man. Such a wealth of knowledge. He's a hobbyists best resource, bar noneđyou ain't too bad yourself Coryđ€Ș
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
More please. The two of you have so much knowledge to share. Thank you for sharing.
Can't get enough of soaking up Dean's knowledge.
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.
As always... you never disappoint!!! LOVE seeing Master Dean!!! Can't wait for next week!!
Love it! Its so simple, fast, cost effective, and its makes the store bought breederbox to shame!
These projects are fantastic and I can't wait to see the next one!
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. đđ
Love the table top Tuesday idea! Looking forward to learning from you two.

Fantastic idea thanks guys. Really looking forward to this series.
Love it. I should have thought of this myself. I knew what he was going to do as soon as I saw the basket.
Hey just wanna say thank you guys for everything all the knowledge and entertainment any time Iâm working on fish stuff got to have a you tube fish video in the background most of those are yâall keep up the good work
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!đđđđ
Tuns more yessss !!!
Great video guys
Love the small foam strip idea! Iâve 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!
I like this idea alot and will be doing this project first thing tomorrow! Way more room than a breeder box , too. Thankyou!
Will definitely be trying this!!
I am definitely gonna try this !!! Thank you so much Dean !!!
Order Placed Using Links enjoy your dinner Dean you guys are the best. Thank You for all that yâall do. Keep up the good workâŠ
Been working on some prototypes for these! Love this one.
Love these DIY projects, tips and tricks.
Oh this is gonna be GREAT!!! I love him!! Thank you thank you!!!
Awesome idea. I'll be looking forward to this series
A dean fish show on this channel? Cory do you want to ruin NNN? I love it already! MORE!
Gotta love Dean. Thanks for the tip!
Nice video. I just grabbed a couple of these and this video popped up. Great idea. Ty
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.
Great diy project !
Cool DYI projects. Looking forward to this series!
Love this keep them coming!
Table top Tuesday! This is my new favourite series!
Love! Please keep making these idea tutorials!
Great video, Iâll definitely be using these tips for my mollies
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.
Great job guys! Please do more.
Hi dean and cory I love that idea itâs quick and easy. Please make more videos like this. Iâve 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.
Much love from Canada ! đšđŠ
Great content - very informative and a great idea. Yes! More, please!!!
Good job on the demonstration.
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!
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!
This is super helpful! Thank you!
Great duet. Very clever. Every video HAS to be BOTH of you.
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.
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.
Holy cow that's so smart.
Awesome idea.
Cheers for the content Cory & Dean
I love you both!!! Keep on making vids together!!!
I use something very similar for my spawning zebra danios. Well done guys. From the uk
Great advice!!
Table top Tuesday love it guys keep up the grate work love from the uk đŹđ§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
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!
Exactly! See you in a week or so and we can make you a couple.
Deansfishroom Hahaha! I need a couple of those shells/nuts for my rams.
I absolutely love this. Any tips and tricks you and the master breeder have I will gladly listen to.
Awesome idea! âđŒ

To keep loose foam in place, just secure with 4 zip ties. đđđđ
I use skimmer baskets from swimming pools for shrimp towers and for breeding. Cool video!
Fun with Dean!! Awesome đ€©
I've done this for years in my koi pond but I used pool noodles and zip ties. Great Idea!

Great idea! You could run a zip tie through the mesh to hold the foam in place, also.
Awesome!!
