Over the years I have enabled many species of fish to breed by providing the correct conditions. Notice I avoid saying "I have bred them" because that is entirely down to the fish themselves.
Eventually I came up with the breeding tank described below which is not claimed as original as I have assimilated so much reading and discussion with fellow enthusiasts that its roots could very well lie in history.
This simple, but extremely effective, tank is illustrated below and I should mention that dimensions are not crucial, provided there is sufficient gallonage for the proposed stock. I personally use scrap glass left over from other projects or broken tanks.

REMOVING FRY
I never net fry.
I have procured from my wife's kitchen an item she used for basting the Sunday joint, with which I can syphon fry or eggs. This gadget is a glass/plastic container about 8 inches long and about 1.5 inches wide at the top where there is a rubber bulb for expelling air or whatever and the other end narrows to about 0.25 inches.
One could achieve the desired result by using an open ended test tube or similar but the degree of control exercised by the baster suits me.
