Our Kakadu dwarf cichlids were in a hurry and when it was there, we wanted the little ones, of course, by bringing it to the first scrim possible. At first I tried it in a jar with salt water - wait Artemia eggs to and. It lasted for three days, because you could see the first crabs zuckeln through the glass. Again, one day later, there were maybe five. As each nauplii now find out without more eggs to feed the larvae? Heaven! I have read reviews for the breeder and skeptical - but ordered from the "despair" out. I have nothing else done, the eggs came from the same box, the amount of salt was in relation to Wassser the same - there is no ventilation nor any difference. According to reports on the Internet the eggs even need light, which is not given in the shell? The difference from the glass is completely incomprehensible to me, but it is enormous! Already after one day already cavorted some larvae in the center of the dish. They are lured there by the light passing there through the opening. The eggs are retained by a simple but effective system inside the shell, so that you do not accidentally fed with. If you want the bustle now "harvest", simply raise the included screen through the opening - the salt water flows immediately, you can briefly and simply rinse the Artemia and feed immediately.
The yield is really big - after my experiment with the glass I was afraid to have received bad goods, but with the shell, it really works much better. Every couple of hours would be now the young (not only the cockatoos) on newly hatched larvae. Also we have worried after the great success a second shell to so that we do not break when the shell needs to be cleaned. For a few days we got neat larvae, as were significantly less yesterday, I have the shell evening rinsed hot and freshly prepared - and already this afternoon a few larvae had hatched already.
Conclusion: Fast and reliable, it is at least not at this price! The effort is minimal - if you need Nauplien Highly Recommended! To wind the Artemia but you can not use the shell, the doubt would have the larvae then just another system to implement.
