Paul85 Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 Hi all just wondering if anyone on the south side of Brisbane/Logan has an egg tumbler for sale. I've been playing around with making my own with not much success so I think its time to buy a more professional one. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckyfish Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 an egg tumbler is used for the hatching of fry...if your fish has decided to spit its eggs/ or you simply want a better success rate with how many hatch, you can collect them and place them in the tumbler, it replicates the parents tumbling action when eggs are in the mouth, it keeps them moving and oxygenated. This can also be done with eggs that aren't from mouth brooders, for example bristlenose eggs, the male fans his eggs to keep them oxygenated, occasionally you may have a male that will 'kick' his eggs from the cave, put them in the tumbler and the constant bubbling will simulate the fanning of the parent. Hope that doesn't sound to confusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
