Mr Gumby Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 Hi folks, I've finally found a UK supplier for BBS eggs that isn't crazy expensive so I've ordered some. Question is my hatcher comes with a little 5ml scoop and I'm wondering how many scoops would get me an appropriate sized hatch? Fish are mainly nano, CPD, emerald dwarf Rasbora, chilli Rasbora etc and a dozen or so corydoras. Rough guess is around 150 fish. I also feed, micro worms, bugbites and vibra bites for a varied diet plus mosquito larvae and daphnia from the duck pond down the road when the weather is right for them.

StevesFishTanks Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 You can try a half or full teaspoon first. Are you using the ziss hatchery? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the hobby hatchery that doesn't require air. I'm hoping it will produce enough for my needs as I only have 2 tanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevesFishTanks Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 I would start with alot less than my recommendation. For the passive hatchery it would be too much. It was based on using air and 2 liters of water. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flumpweesel Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 Go with what the hatcher recommends it will probably reduce the hatch rate if you try to much more than its built for after a bit of trial and error you'll know what it can cope with an what it will feed. 5ml is a teaspoon so that is quite a good amount for benchmark . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
