Hello All

[RenatoR]

Actually i have 41 a.bellotti and kind of 6 or 7 Fundulopanchax wich gets BBs two or three times a day. For me it's enough and if i need more BBs, i will put more eggs in it.
Obviously i add a small amount of microworms but just the tip o a knife in each tank to have a little variation for the fishes.

Well, i'm new to Killi's but i hatch artemia for a few years till now and i obviously tried to improve this method. For instance, I add eggs every evening even if the "running" hatch two times to extend the time that I get fresh BBs, I alternate the two breeders, so that one is already one or two days old while the other one is filled up right now, i add half a spoon of natron, the breeders are near the heater etc. etc.
I'm pretty happy with it and i will continue to use this system, without blubber, without brumming airpumps and without current at all.

Roberto, adding air to the breeder can work, i already tried this in the past, (there is a hole in the ledge where you can put a tube) but a lot of swimming eggs and eggshells got in the sieve so i stopped this.

Traduzione:
In questo Momento ho 41 A.bellotti e 6 o 7 Fundulopanchax che ricevono Artemia 2 or 3 volte al dí.
Per me sono abbastanza Artemia e se ne ho bisognio, aumento la quantità delle Uova che metto nello schiuditoio. Ovviamente aggiungo anche una punta di coltello di Microworms ma piú per far' avere una varietà nel cibo dei pesci.

Sono principiante con i Killi ma le Artemie le schiudo da qualche anno (4 o 5) in questo modo e sempre con attenzione a perfezionare il metodo.P.E. aggiungo uova ogni sera per 2 volte dopo aver messo su lo schiuditoio per avere artemie fresche ogni giorno, alterno gli due schiuditoi in modo che uno é gia in funzione di un giorno prima che metto l'altro, aggiungo mezzo cucchiaino di bicarbonato di sodio, gli schiuditoi stanno vivino ad un termosifone, etc etc.
Sono abbastanza contento con questo metodo e continueró a schiudere le artemie in questo modo, senza il rumuore delle bolle, senza pompe d'aria e senza corrente.

Roberto, puó funzionare, ho giá provato in passato ma molte uova e gusci di uova vanno a finire nel setaccio, visto che l'acqua viene mossa..

This sounds interesting. Have you ever thought about posting a thread on how you use this device to feed your fry. It seems you've learned a lot of tricks that could help others, especially if you include pictures of how many eggs you add and how often.

Sure, i can make some pictures on the next "round", today i have to set up a new one so i can do it if you like.

[Sjones_1]

Yeah, not just for me but also I think others that have seen but never used this system might benefit from a little "review" from an experienced user. I am interested as I would like to have a set-up in my office for raising fry but it's very quiet and an air pump might not be welcomed.
