aquarium - breeding tank for young fishes by MrSkyballer

Last crawled date: 3 years, 1 month ago

Hello,
here you can print your own small breeding tank for your aquarium. It's perfekt for putting your young and tiny fishes in to secure them for beeing killed by the other big fishes.
At first I was scared about putting coloured PLA into the aquarium. I wasn't sure if PLA is emitting some sort of dangerous substances into the water damaging my fishes. I am no material expert, therefore I put those printed parts for about 15 minutes in hot water (about 60 degree) to cook possible substances out of the material. Up to this day (1 Week later) all the fishes are still happy ;-) the young one too! You can see a red one on the front picture at the bottom of the tank on the left!
The two features ;-) of this printed tank is 1) a normal small transparent CD cover (max. 5 mm thick) which is used for having a clear look into the tank and 2) there are two grates where fresh water can flow through the tank.
