Baby Maker Hub Handmade Spawning Mop
The Baby Maker Hub Spawning Mop is a handmade yarn spawning mop for collecting eggs from medaka (Japanese rice fish), killifish, goldfish, koi, White Cloud Mountain minnows, and other egg-laying fish. Egg-scattering and plant-spawning species instinctively deposit their eggs in fine, dense material near the surface, and this mop gives them exactly that in one easy-to-lift spot.
Each mop is handmade in North Carolina with a buoyant cork float and durable green yarn, a color my medaka consistently prefer laying on. These are the exact mops I use in my own breeding program.
Why breeders use a spawning mop: adult fish eat their own eggs and fry, so survival in a bare tank rounds to zero. Pull the mop every day or two, move the eggs to a separate container to hatch, and you turn a hobby tank into a colony that grows every season. It is the single most useful tool for anyone breeding medaka or killifish.
Comes as a 2-pack, so you have options: run both at once for more laying surface, rotate one while the other holds eggs, or keep a spare on hand.
Mop-only orders ship for $4.99. With fish in the order, mops add nothing to your shipping, and orders of $150 or more ship free.
