[butcherman]

[ccwilke]

Ok here they are nothing WOW !!!!!

 

[Keanan]

Is that R214?

Never had much success hatching bs.

 

[ccwilke]

Yip R214 is it bad or not?I did it many years ago...

 

[Keanan]

I paid R70 for this one a few months back....
but my hatch rate was prop about 70%.

 

[ccwilke]

I almost had a heart attack then I read the labels:

Yours contains 47 grams of Salts and 3 grams of Brine Shrimp Eggs,Mine contains 100% Brine Shrimp Eggs.That's 50 g Eggs.

So yours is R70 for 3 grams
Mine is R214 for 50 grams.

If you buy 16 packets of yours it's 48g of eggs and that would cost you R1166.66.

[Keanan]

They robbed me blindly bloody LFS.............

Not really hey if you look closely, the one you have is 100% bs eggs, full 50g and mine is only 3g eggs and 47g salt. So its way cheaper to buy the one you got but easier to hatch the one I got.

 

[ccwilke]

Lets see if mine hatch before I get too Happy.........

@ccwilke ek wou jou nou net bel om uit te vind of jy al iets gedoen het met dit. gedink jy sou al gister aand dit begin broei het om dit vandag al te voer??

 

[ccwilke]

Nope moes eers die breeder bou........

 

[ccwilke]

And I just arrived home.Took the breeder out of the sump hang it for a few minutes and there they are all tiny and swimming around.Thousands of them.....

 

[ccwilke]

And my Mandarin is having a party with all the live food available.......

 

[shaunn]

lol

 

[Quintonv]

how do you feed( get them out the breeder) it ?

 

[ccwilke]

I use a syringe to suck them out.After hatching you remove the air supply and let it stand you will see the empty egg shells go to the top and the brine shrimp will be in the middle and the unhatched eggs will be at the bottom.

I then use a big syringe and air tube to suck them out and feed them.Kept some aside will see if I can raise them.....
