Egg tumblers, anyone use them
Posted: Sat Sep 27, 2008 7:17 pm
Hi all, now had 7 spawns for my breeding pair, 5th one was successful but the other 6, have either died of fungus or the male has eaten them.
Now my breeding pair are both in the cave at it again and this time I am going to remove the eggs the minute the female leaves and place them into an egg tumbler.
I just want to know, anyone else here use an egg tumbler and when should the eggs be removed, I take it the minute the female leaves the male fertilises the eggs and they can be removed then, or does the male wait a few hours before fertilising them.
Can anyone advise please. I would love to leave them with the male but this pair have just had too many chances, my other breeding pairs have no troubles at all, and I get reugular spawns from them without any hiccups.
Any advice is appreciated.
