. The complete aquarium book; the care and breeding of goldfish and tropical fishes. Aquariums; Goldfish. 122 AQUARIUM APPLIANCES. Fig. 101 Funnel Trap for Live-bearing Fishes Obstruction in neck of funnel is a piece of bent wire, and is open on either side. place female fish in funnel and cover over with screen, so she can- not leap out. The small wire pre- viously mentioned will prevent the mother fish from becoming jammed in the outlet, but will al- low the young to pass through and collect in the lower portion of jar. Another very simple and ef- fective arrangement is shown in Figure 102 being merely two pieces of glass laid in an aquarium at a sloping angle and set into two blocks so cut as to leave a slight space between the glasses at the bottom of the V. This opening should be just large enough for the young fish to pass through. The plan has the advantage of giving the female plenty of space. In fact several females could be kept in such a "maternity ward" at one time. Unless feeding on daphnia, a small butter dish or similar object should be placed across the bottom of glasses to catch the falling food until the fish can eat it. Also a number of snails in the lower part of the aquarium or jar will be needed to consume.
