Genuine Scotch-Brite® Food-Safe Spawning Pads
A versatile alternative to traditional spawning mops, made using genuine Scotch-Brite® professional food-safe scrub pads — carefully selected for their durable, dense fibre structure and excellent egg-catching ability.
These pads provide a fantastic spawning surface for Medaka, while giving you two different ways to use them depending on your breeding setup.
🐟 Method 1 — Traditional Spawning Mop
Use the pad in a conventional Medaka spawning-mop style:
Cut to your preferred size and shape.
Tease or separate the fibres slightly to create plenty of surfaces for eggs to attach to.
Place or suspend the pad in your breeding tub.
Medaka can weave through the fibres and attach their eggs naturally.
Remove the spawning pad when collecting eggs and replace with a fresh one.
🔗 Method 2 — Flexible Pad Mop
For even greater versatility, the pads can be folded, rolled or grouped together and secured with a cable tie, creating an alternative spawning mop similar to the style shown in the photographs.
This method allows you to:
Create a compact, dense spawning area.
Adjust the shape and size to suit your tub.
Position the mop vertically, horizontally or at an angle.
Easily remove the entire mop for egg collection.
Open the pad back up when cleaning and preparing it for reuse.
The cable-tie method is particularly useful for breeders who like to experiment with different spawning-mop shapes and positions.
