When I stopped stripping my Africans, I started to use the breeding traps.

I buy them at Petsmart, and they have an opening in the bottom that babies can swim out of, but mom can't. It is used alot for livebearers. Anyhow, it just floats on the top of the tank, and the babies swim down, out of the slot.

Just like this one...

It is quite amazing because i do not see her give the signal but something is making them listen.. and she does not go to them.. they all go to her..yes you have to love them!:grinno:
 
Here she is with all babies stuffed in there :D
 
congrats on the babies also nice mom and dad!
