- DIY Egg Tumbler For Shrimp Eggs
I recently had a berried female die and needed to act quick to save the eggs. I was able to construct a DIY egg tumbler to save the eggs. This is a quick video on how to save eggs from a dead shrimp.
When extracting the eggs you need to be extra careful as to not burst them. They are very tiny and fragile. I have found that using a needle to separate the eggs from the females swimmerets' works best.
I hope this helps someone else out their save some of their eggs!
Thank you so much for watching and enjoy the rest of your day!
Very creative

Can you use a turkey baster to grab the baby shrimp out of it? May be safer for the baby to be down in the tank where it has more biofilm to eat.
This was just to hatch the eggs, once they hatch you release them into the tank. I was releasing a couple a day as they hatched
How did this turn out in the end?
I used just an intake tube, same setup with the mesh, and hung it just above my sponge filter.
Had to do that just today. Am absolutely terrified.
It worked out well, you need to make sure you are checking it a couple times a day, the babies won’t survive long in the tube.
I would let the hatched ones out and clear any dead eggs twice a day
@@PoseidonsPets Thank you!!
I have been checking it about 3x a day and making sure they are getting proper flow.
It's probably at least two weeks of watching it very closely.
Haven't seen any dead eggs. I hear they float, or are covered in fungus, correct?
@@shelbytaylor4634 glad to hear it’s working! Yes, dead eggs will turn a different color than the others. usually when they are close to hatching they are clear and you can see the shrimp.
When they die they turn milky and opaque
@@PoseidonsPets Awesome! I wondered about that. I don't believe they will all hatch, but it's worth it if even just one does.
So far, they are in the brown stage. Nowhere near seeing eyes yet.
The momma was maybe a week or two berried before this happened.
BTW! She came back to life mid egg retrieval. 🫣😳 She has 1/3 eggs still with her. And, is miraculously still alive.
Tank temp got too low this winter is my best guess?? Winter changes? Idk.
It's baffling, whatever the cause.
If the colony survives, I am definitely naming them Zombie Shrimp. (They're basically just blue jelly's, though. 😂)
Use 1 drop methylene blue to stop fungus
Thanks 😊
Who says men can’t hatch eggs lol 😂 you so proved them wrong 😅
I got skills what can I say 😂
