    nicpapa got a reaction from Shrimporama in New Cobalt Egg Tumbler works great, still one problem.   
    This is not good ... look the eggs hits the glass...
    I use very simple and cheap method.
    I use a net , put some aquarium filter Foam Cotton and inside this the eggs.
    I drop water above the net with airfilter and thats it...
    I have 100% of the eggs.

    Yes, it is safe.  I use a softener before my RO water (around 500TDS) and get it down to 10 or so TDS after my RO Membrane, I can get it to 0 after DI.  I feel your pain my friend, my water is liquid rock!!!

    You may have different tap water parameters than us, if your water naturally has nitrates and other fertilizers that is blessing for plants, as you don't have to add anything to your tanks. Everyone has their own style which helps them succeed in my cases to keep most of my plants and invertebrates added components are required as my water comes out at a TDS of 40, very low gh, very low kh and no fertilizers which is a guarantee death sentence for most of the plants I kept and invertebrates I keep. Granted however my water is perfect for breeding tropical fish which is pretty swell for me.

    Hi
     
    I see you built a shrimp feeding station out of glass. I was too lazy to make my own so I went out and got these

    And used the top/lid as a feeding station.

    Move the snails to a bowl, dose with fenbendazole (Panacur C) and you should be good to go.  I sent you more specific instructions via PM.

    Will definitely invest into a scoring knife the next time around. 90% finished with the halfmoon, just need to cut the pipes abit more. Could have done a better job but it was a good and fun learning experience.

    Hi Nicapa,
     
    To answer a couple of your questions
    if you breed a TB to crs/cbs you will get mischlings. Now if you take the female mischlings and breed them back to a TB you will get upto 50% TB and the say 50% more michlings F2.
    say you breed the F2 mischling females back again to TB males you will get a higher. % of TBs, yet again you will get mischlings F3. If you keep on doing this for the next couple of generations....female mischlings with TB males you will get a even higer % TBs in say F6.
    now the mischlings will look either like crs/cbs, but you will get more cbs as black is the dominent gene.
    if you breed pintos to TBs, the same will happen as breeding TBs to crs/cbs
    as in you will get normal rkk, bkk, blue bolts, but they carry the pinto gene. If you cross them back to pinto, you will start seeing some pinto babies in the next generations
     
    maybe try and get diffirent grades and pattern of TBs, like, red panda, rkk, extreme and with black as you will get more varried patterns from TBs
     
    I have 2 only pinto tanks, red and black pintos and the black pintos throw around 30% blue bolt babies and the red pintos throw around 30% rkk babies.
    i dont think they will ever breed 100% true. 
    Maybe I am wrong, but this is what I have found in my tanks
    i seperate the pinto mischlings aka TBs with pinto genes with cull pinto males.....I still need to see what comes of this for them to breed, but the female TBs should throw out more pintos and then also TB mischlings
     
    hope I have answered some of your questions
