What Is A Spawning Mop?
Spawning Mops are used to facilitate breeding. Spawning Mops are made up of many strands of wool or yarn and are designed to mimic densely planted areas in the wild.
Egg scattering fish swim into the spawning mop and deposit their eggs. The eggs stick to the Spawning Mop and can be removed and hatched in another aquarium away from predatory fish who may otherwise eat them.
