Product Description

Natural Egg Laying Habits

In the wild Angelfish and Discus will seek out broad sword plant leaves to spawn.This natural instinct will also cause them to lay eggs on plants in your aquarium.Even without plants a pair will sometimes pick a surface on area they can protect. Heaters and Filters being the most common but not ideal for raising successful hatches.

Fish will Clean the Slate Prior to Egg Laying

When you see the pair cleaning the slate eggs are soon to follow.It has a hook bent onto the top of the slate for hanging on the top rim of an aquarium. Designed with 29 and 20 gallon tall tanks in mind. Common sizes for Angel & Discus Pairs in bare breeder setups.The bottom tab maintains the angle of the slate for optimal egg laying and fertilization. If using in a tank with substrate you can bury it and use this slate without hooking in on the rim of a tank.

Fish will then Lay Eggs on the Slate

Place slate away from strong currents for best fertilization.The 2″ wide by 13.5″ tall egg laying portion has been sanded to simulate the leaf of a sword plant.This provides a better surface for the eggs and fry to adhere.Green Acrylic Blends in nicely with planted tanks.

Safe Lightweight Alternative to Ceramic and Natural Slate

100% acrylic one piece design wont change water chemistry.In a glass aquarium, especially a bare bottom breeder setup, the lightweight acrylic is safer than slate or tile if the fish or fish keeper accidentally knock it over while its in use.Works great for bare bottom since it does not touch the bottom of the tank.You can easily remove the slate once eggs are laid for treatment in methylene blue. Easy to clean and reuse.

Useful for both Parent Raising and Artificial Hatching

Slate can be used for artificial hatching and raising where you remove the slate and treat in methylene blue shortly after the eggs are laid.With multiple slates on hand, you can replace the slate you just removed with a fresh one.Slate can also be used for parent raising by simply leaving in the tank with the pair.
