Egg Tumbler Testing

[Wel-Don Tanks]

Testing three different egg tumblers and methalyne blue in attempts for higher yields from my Egyptian Mouth Brooders eggs.

Saw this on youtube earlier too. Which tumblers are you testing?

[Wel-Don Tanks]

Ziss Aqua, Cobalt and a cheap one from amazon.  Kind of a good, better, best

My guess is you will find that they all work  pretty much the same once set up with the correct flow for the eggs to tumble. The Ziss and Colbalt are virtually the same, I think one is just a re-brand of the other (there are different sizes of them). The one from amazon is easier to pop the top off and just drop the eggs into it. But the Ziss and Colbalt ones stand up by themselves outside of the tank which makes servicing pretty easy. It will be interesting what you come up with for your results after testing. I've only used mine for pleco eggs.

I haven't played with the Cobalt.  I am huge fine of the ziss tumbler.  I despise the amazon one.   The suction cups don't work well and generally thought it was poorly constructed.

What species require their eggs to be tumbled?

Already I like the Ziss one the best but that was the most expensive one.

Yes I will be.  Wanted to do some testing before sharing everything

We are much on the same page

Mainly cichlid species.  A lot of cichlids are mouth brooders and this is really just an artificial way of hatching said eggs.  From there pleco eggs is another popular use.
