Coconut-based spawning substrate
Here’s how to make an egg-laying mat using a natural coconut fiber mat.
A coconut mat is a sheet made from fibers of coconut shells.
It’s mainly used by placing it around the base of potted plants, but it can also serve as an egg-laying substrate.
You only need a coconut mat and some zip ties, so give it a try.
Cut the mat into 15 cm by 10 cm pieces, peel it into two layers, and place them back-to-back.
Wrap them around a pipe or similar object, secure with zip ties, and then remove the pipe—that’s it.
In conclusion
By handmaking a spawning mop for your medaka, you can feel the tiny lives born in your aquarium more closely. With simple materials and a gentle touch, let’s create an environment where the medaka can lay their eggs with peace of mind. A new story for your medaka will begin from the spawning mop you make!
