Thanks for lookin out!!
He specifically said that he was searching youtube and found the idea on youtube. That doesn't make him bad for making the video. If you noticed he doesn't use the exact same material and he has a place he buys the parts from. The video was informative no matter where he got the original idea from. Thank you for the video btw.
Thanks for covering for me, good lookin out!!
Lisa checking wardrobe: not again 😭 those were my fav pantyhose😭😭😭😭😭
Thanks John. You are above and beyond and I thank you.
Really really nice...............one dumb question whats the easiest way to get the eggs in the tube just pour them out off the container you stripped them into?
Brian, the fry can still die if they're not kept moving. if theres still an egg sack they need to be tumbled. You might be ok just putting an airstone under your breeder net.
I wrote that comment while watching the vid again, near the end you answered my question, I guess it should be big enough! Thanks again
Hey, your vids are awesome man! Very clear and straight forward :) I used your advice with this tumbler and successfully bread 35 red zebra fry!
I have a question, my larger female zebra just had eggs an I took them out of her mouth and there's 62!! Will this same tumbler be sufficient in size for the 62 eggs!!??? They are all tumbling properly and moving around fairly well...
Where do I buy the supplies at?
Awesome video! . Ty for the tip, my SRT just swallowed her fry and knowing this would have been helpful in the beginning, keep up the tips and Ty again
Grea video KG. Great information and easy to do.
We usually wait 3-4 days before we strip them
Thank you for sharing John!. I am looking forward to starting my own fish room with some breeding tanks.
gutted you have some awesome fish if im ever over there id like to have a look
I am SUPER new to African Cichlids. So, this is reassuring. However, I just can't help but wondered what happened. I stripped my yellow lab female and the fry turned out fine but the other day I stripped my peacock female and within two days the eggs went bad on me. With your expertise, do you know what could have happened? Same tumbler setup and I waited for a week before stripping too. Are there any difference between mbuna and peacock eggs? Thanks, you been a wonderful help to me!
wow! Cool technique... your videos are very nice ,thanks !
Your videos are always helpful.
I love these egg tumbles the best I've tried. Someone tried to sell me some fancy ones for $25 bucks I just chuckled. My buddy bought one and it didn't even work half as good as these. Could you add the video you learned from in the description. Is it that video with the little kid?
Hi there thanks for the tumbler idea, I got a few of these from jehmco directly. However my first use of demansoni eggs around 13 of them a few days later the eggs develop the tails and the next day the tiny heads and eyes. The day after all had disappeared from the tube and no where to be found? They come with a plastic guase mesh but I don't understand how they got out. Any ideas?
Hey it looked like your tubing was plastic but you mentioned glass. Anyway if you decided to pick up another tube from the pet store and try cutting it up for your tumblers again best way to cut it I would think sit the blade of a kitchen straight blade knife obviously sharp on your stove burner. Let the blade get super hot and then you should be able to cut through that without cracking it. Fairly easy. If you decide to try it make a video so we can see how it goes!
Where do you buy the stuff We lost a batch of eggs recently and I wanna make one as our fish are showing signs of breeding again
Thank you, it was very informative. I have made tumblers from a gravel cleaner but feel like i lose viable eggs. Was wondering since you said it can go in a tumbler tank or a community tank, will the other fish be able to get to the eggs from the bottom?
If you have a strong enough pump you will just need a gang valve which you hook to your pump and split it to as many as your pump can handle. On the gang valve you'll be able to adjust the air flow to each output.
I guess the link is no good now as I can't find one?
Wow I love your channel man. Amazing setup you got there.
Good video kg! Question my female spit here eggs out after about 10 days they are trying to swim they still have the egg sack on them do I need a tumbler, there in a breeder net box?
Thanks, John!
You can use gauze too if u work in the medical field.
Great videos! Where can we buy he parts to make these?
Hey john I just made a similar tumbler out of what I had laying around. Its a 1 inch under gravel filter tube. I'm just wondering how many eggs can I put in it? I currently have 3 red zebras holding
key kgtropicals, in your egg tumbler tank how often do you do water changes ??
that is awesome info. thanks for the tip. Im gonna order some today.
Hay jhon.,thanks for the video. I have made some DIY egg tumbler and I have ordered couple from the site you mention. Now the problem is how do I connect multiple egg tumbler with my air pump. Say if I want to connect 5 egg tumbler can I do it with one air pump or do I need some thing else. I try to connect my 3rd DIY egg tumbler but the bubble is not coming properly. But other two tumblers are working fine. What should I do?
What size tube did you order? I'm trying to figure out what length to get before I place an order. TIA
I'm new to the cichlid hobby and I am very interested in breeding and I feel this would be the best way as well. I found the website you are refering to and would like to purchase the items I need to make this egg tumbler. What are the pipe measurements?? Thank you in advance for your response
How do you keep enough ammonia in your tumbler tank to keep your beneficial bacteria alive?
Awesome video....keep the gud work gong....
How many egg tumblers can I put onto one air pump, or is there a way to make one pump to have a junction so it can supply 3 egg tumbles
Nice diy
Hey KG.
My question to you is, I'm trying to build one of these tumblers for my strawberry albino as she tends to eat or spit then within days.
I picked up two identical sponge filters but the connections are different than yours. Mine are internal connections not external. Leaving the air nipple poking the mesh. Is this a problem or is there something I missed during construction?
Hi John, is it safe to put the tumbler in the same tank with the adults, or should it be in a separate tank.
We always used a separate tank.
@@KGTropicals Thank you very much. Happy Friday
is the ZET-65 Ziss Fish Egg Tumbler Incubator good
We do about 25% twice a week
Yeah females will sometimes instinctively spawn by themselves and hold the eggs. She'll figure it out sooner or later and spit them out.
When they are free swimming and no longer have an egg sack.
Hy, John, is it normal to lose some eggs during the egg tumbling process?
Hey John,
it's not giving me the option to purchase the parts from Jemco, please help. Thanks
hi kgtropicals, im in australia an unable to get those sponge filter parts seperate.... do you know of a company that will ship to australia? it doesnt say on jehmco that they ship overseas. cheers
Thanks jhon
How come you run the air from the top instead of the bottom?
where is the link to the place to buy parts
the link is in the description
Can u tell me where to order these from ? Where is the link? Please
Also this was her first batch, is swallowing normal ?
hi John do you ship fish to Australia thanks
I'm a first time cichlid keeper and my Powder Blue Socolofi is holding for the first time. I'm gonna let her spit in her breeder net since shes a first timer. I want her to gain maternal experience. After she spits, i'll feed her a few hours later and when she regains her strength, put her back in the main tank.
What's the model number of the parts you ordered from that site
can someone help me find the link for the end pieces?
We use a turkey baster...
do you post fish to the uk pal?
whats that web site buddy?
is this good for angelfish Wiggler's?
making one out of what i have available now too, may be ordering 10 kits from jehmco depeding on shipping rates since i live in canada, kens the shipping rate doubled my order cost, sorry no go and that was the cheap option
nice. i'm seriously thinkin of startin a afirican colony (1 species only) with every video I watch. Just have to decide which fish. I have a free 45 bow and a 30gallon (rectangle) I'll keep watchin lookin for my species and learning. My pH is really low 6.3 and soft. Crushed coral and rock should help/
how big is the diameter of that pipe?
I have a marble peacock whos holding right now about how many eggs are these tumblers good for ball park number is good
0
A what point do you take them out of tumbler and put in another tank
Unfortunately no, the shipping cost usually way to much. I would do it if it didn't cost so much. Sorry.
Its not something to panic over, If all of the eggs went bad right away they were most likely bad to begin with, probably didn't get fertilized by the male properly.
When should I remove the eggs from the tumbler?
Hello!! Nice setup!
I have a problem though and I hope someone can help me.
I need to send eggs and larvae by airplane. Travel duration 15-20 hours.
How can I preserve them properly and minimize the mortality?
My best idea until now, is to "sterilize" the eggs with H2O2, put them in bags (3/4 oxygenated sterile water, 1/4 air) close the bags and put them in an incubator with constant water temperature of 28C. Unfortunately these tumblers do not fit inside the incubator because I need to fit also an air pump, which is impossible. So the eggs will not have any movement for 20 hours. Am I going to lose them all?
Any ideas?
what happens if you put them in a tank with a little of there egg sack?
Dam , now I see this video, I've just bought an egg tumbler ($25)
You dont have light ?
Can I use this for American cichilds
A
Sorry about that:-) I hope you don't go broke like me;-)
This Is Crazy 😧
Why are mine half with water and half air ?
So they are sterile and i dont need to strip her?
Sorry, I tried to help...:-)
Yeah unfortunately you will almost always lose a few, its just part of the deal.
I'll say the same thing to you that I said to the last idiot that made the same comment. 0:50 Dummy!!! Why don't you actually watch videos before you comment and make yourself look stupid.
💝🙏🙏🙏💝
18 dislikes? haters.
Oh how funny it was you both times. Your really desperate to make that point.
Ok i have 1 cichlid Holding eggs. There has been no other cichlids in with her for about 3 months. Can a female cichlid hold a,males sperm? If not do i have steril eggs?
Lol some one just screwed the self out of a money, you should of made them and sold them. O welps
0:50 Dummy!!! Why don't you actually watch videos before you comment and make yourself look stupid.
Cool
Tried this and killed all the eggs, identical products and identical method
Why are you teaching this - 🤔
