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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishTankBarn Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
