Catfish Breeder Startup Bundle

Breeding catfish successfully comes down to getting the details right at each stage, egg care, oxygenation, and feeding. Most aquarists piece together these components separately, often discovering gaps after eggs have already failed or fry have struggled. This bundle removes that guesswork by combining the three items that matter most in a catfish breeding setup into one purchase. The egg tumbler and air pump work together as a system, and the Bottom Wafers ensure your growing fry and juveniles have access to the right food from the start. It's a practical starting point for anyone setting up their first breeding tank, and a convenient restock for experienced breeders.

For the egg tumbler, check daily that eggs are tumbling gently and evenly. Remove any eggs that turn white or opaque promptly as unfertilised or fungused eggs can spread to healthy ones quickly. Clean the tumbler thoroughly between spawning events using a soft brush and dechlorinated water. Do not use soap or household cleaners.

For the air pump, wipe down the exterior periodically and check airline tubing connections for any air leaks that could reduce flow to the tumbler. Replace the air filter on the pump inlet if flow drops noticeably over time.

For the Bottom Wafers, feed after lights out when catfish and bottom dwellers are most active. Once fry have depleted their egg sacs (the small yellow yolk sacs attached to their belly), they can begin eating prepared foods. Offer only as much as they can consume within a few hours and remove any uneaten portions to maintain water quality. Store the wafers in a cool, dry location and reseal the container after each use.
