Product Description
Our acrylic egg laying slate is designed to mimic the natural spawning habits of Angelfish and Discus. In the wild, these fish will seek out broad sword plant leaves to lay their eggs. 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 or area they can protect, such as heaters and filters, but these are not ideal for raising successful hatches.

- 100% acrylic one-piece design that won’t change water chemistry

- Useful for both parent raising and artificial hatching
How it Works
When a pair of fish is ready to spawn, they will clean the slate prior to egg laying. The slate has a hook bent onto the top for hanging on the top rim of an aquarium, and the bottom tab maintains the angle of the slate for optimal egg laying and fertilization. The 2" wide by 13.5" tall egg laying portion has been sanded to simulate the leaf of a sword plant, providing a better surface for the eggs and fry to adhere.
