Description

1 TARIFF Two-Compartment Fish Nest Technical Area This invention is designed for use in aquariums to study the spawning behavior of fish. 5 supportive, double-compartment fish nests designed to accommodate varying degrees of light entering the interior. It belongs to the technical field. State of the Art Existing aquarium fish cages are generally single-compartment, offering homogeneous openings and providing a natural environment for fish. These structures are far from providing areas for their behavior. During spawning, some fish prefer bright light. Some prefer dark areas, while existing structures do not meet this distinction. Furthermore, the nest has 10 details such as preventing slipping, being fixed in place, or having natural mossy surfaces are taken into consideration. It is not provided. Purposes of the Invention The main purposes of the invention are as follows: • Suitable for fish species that want a dark and narrow entrance area with a closed nest (1) compartment. to provide an egg-laying area, • Suitable spawning environment for fish species that need sunlight with open nest (2) compartment to ensure, • With closed slot entrance (3) and open slot entrance (4) and different opening sizes, the design allows for different providing suitable access for the species and allowing for dark and light spawning areas 20 to recognise, • Enables multiplicity and separation within each compartment with closed nest wall (5) and open nest wall (6). to recognise, • The nest can be hung inside the aquarium via the wall hole (7) and is suitable for different positions. bringing, 25 • Light is allowed in and water circulation is ensured through open hole openings (8), • Achieving a non-slip and stable structure with the base (9) and base recesses (10). 2 Description of the Images Figure 1: Front and top view of the invention.

Explanation of References in Figures 5 1: Closed nest 2: Open nest 3: Closed slot entrance 4: Open slot entrance 5: Closed nest wall 10 6: Open nest wall 7: Hole in the wall 8: Open slot holes 9: Nest base 10: Base recesses 15 Detailed Description of the Invention Closed socket (1): The closed socket (1), which is cylindrical in form, hollow and thick-walled, is a part of the entire structure. It forms the side. It is made of baked clay material and has indentations on both its inner and outer surfaces. This surface Its structure creates a natural environment by trapping algae and sediment. The entrance diameter is small, making it unsuitable for fish that prefer enclosed spaces. Access is provided through a hole. 20 Open nest (2): It has the same form and material as the closed nest (1) and requires a sunnier environment. Designed for fish. Its indented inner and outer surfaces trap algae and sediment, enhancing its natural appearance. From the outside... It has a wide opening and open slot holes (8) so that it can receive the incoming light at the maximum level. Closed nest entrance (3): Circular entrance located at the end of the closed nest and which is the only entrance to the closed nest. The hole in the form has a diameter range of 20-80 mm. The edges are rounded to prevent damage to the fish and for easy entry. It is made possible to enter and exit. The closed slot (1) and the open slot (2) are on the central axis of the cylindrical form and the cylinder It is positioned vertically in its form. Open slot entrance (4): The open slot entrance (2) will be perpendicular to the cylindrical slot form and on the central axis. It is positioned in this way. The entrance is 30-90 mm in diameter. For fish species that prefer well-lit environments. It is designed. It has the same physical characteristics as the closed slot entrance. The only difference from the closed slot entrance (3) is the entrance 30 The larger diameter of the opening is the wall (6) that vertically divides the entrance in half. 3 Closed nest wall (5): This wall, which divides the closed nest (1) horizontally into two, allows the fish to move to the bottom or top. It allows them to lay eggs. It is also suitable for use by multiple species separately. It is designed to accommodate sand or gravel, thus preserving its natural appearance. Its surfaces are indented. It is structured in such a way that it allows fish eggs, algae and sediment to adhere to its surface. Completely enclosed. It remains inside the nest (1). The middle wall separating the open nest (2) and the closed nest (1) is horizontally positioned from the side 5 It is fixed. It rises to half the cylindrical height of the closed housing (1) so that the closed Half of the nest (1) becomes the spawning area and the other half becomes a waiting and hiding area for the fish. The sides It is rounded. The wall thickness is between 4-20mm. Open nest wall (6): It divides the open nest (1) vertically in half right down the middle. Baked It is made of clay. The wall thickness is between 4-20 mm. The edges and corners are rounded. This allows for 10 It reduces the risk of harming fish at the entrance. The wall hole (7) located in the center of the nest entrance (4) It is located in the same plane as the wall (6) and in the middle part of the wall in terms of height. Open nest wall (6) open It divides the nest (2) vertically into two, including the nest entrance (4). In this way, the fish are given two different It provides an environment. The open nest (2) allows different species and different broodstock fish to use it simultaneously. They recognize it. Their surfaces are indented. They allow sediment and algae to accumulate. 15 Wall hole (7): A hanging hole that allows the invention to be hung vertically inside the aquarium. Circular It is well-shaped and has rounded edges. It will not damage the hanging cord. It will be aligned with the open slot entry (4). It is positioned at the geometric center of the nest entrance (4) as shown. Open nest holes (8): Designed for fish and other marine species that require a light environment, from the front. It is a structure consisting of four circular holes in total, two in the front and two in the back. 10-20 It has a diameter range of 40 mm. The edges are rounded, which supports water circulation. The holes (8) are horizontal. They are aligned. The holes at the front will be a projection of the holes at the back when viewed from the front. The base is perforated. This facilitates water flow inside the socket. The edges of the holes conform to the cylindrical shape of the socket. It is rounded in the following way. To ensure this, the upper parts of the holes (8) are smaller, the lower parts They are rounded with a larger diameter. They are embedded in the outer walls of the open socket (2). These holes 25 (8), they are found only on the outer wall. Nest base (9): Flattens the bottom of the cylindrical structure and runs the entire length of the outer wall of the nests. It is the leveling bottom surface. It prevents the nest from tipping over inside the aquarium and provides stability. It has a base on top. It has (10) indentations. Base recesses (10): Arranged side-by-side along the base of the socket (9) and the cylindrical and horizontal 30 of the socket They are rectangular recesses placed at right angles to the extension, arranged at equal intervals. It prevents the nest from sliding by increasing its grip. The sand helps it to remain stable on the surface. 4 How the invention can be applied to industry. The invention is suitable for shaping using fire-bakeable ceramic or clay materials. With a mold... It can be adapted for mass production. This includes home aquariums as well as professional aquariums. It is also applicable to hobbyist and commercial fish farming. It takes into account the natural behaviors of different fish species. It supports ecological compatibility by providing a suitable environment. 5
