RE: Take out eggs or fish?

[tmroz@art-inc.com]

Eric - this is very similar to a method I have used for some time.  My
yields are never what I would like, however, because I either transfer them
too early or too late into a rearing tank.  When do you take the fry out of
the jugs and put them in their own tank?  Meanwhile, what do you feed them,
how do you clean the jugs, how often do you do water changes, etc?  What
size tank and conditions do you move the fry to?

Thanks

Tom

Eric
The way I always hatch eggs away from the parents is to put them in a gallon
milk jug with the top cut off, half full of the parents tank water about
five drops of methelene blue and an airstone away from the eggs.   I set the
jug in a ten gal tank with about four inches of water and a heater you can
set three jugs in the tank. kind of a home made incubator I have had very
good luck this way.
