Can I make my own egg tumbler? ➕How2 differentiate between fertilized and unfertilized furcatus eggs

Үй жануарлары мен аңдар

I show how to differentiate between fertilized and un-fertilized pseudomugil furcatus (forktailed rainbow fish) eggs, and see if I can figure out how to make my own egg tumbler for them through trial and error. The project cost less than $8 usd.
Fucatus eggs are more delicate and do not appreciate the aggressive tumbling of some other species' eggs, so I had to try to walk a fine line between not enough flow and too much. It's just going to be a temporary solution until I can get a better one.

    Nice video! That was both a frustrating and fun build to be in on. I do hope the eggs are happy in the new gadget.

    Nice little diy egg tumbler, there's only one way to learn and that is to try. I bet if you keep modifying the egg tumbler and think of how you can improve upon it I'm sure you'll make a great one. Here's an idea you can use the one you buy as a blueprint to create your tumbler 😉 Great video Tara 👍

    Hi there! I'm definitely learning a lot through trying, lol. This is my first attempt at mop spawning and trying to take care of eggs that take up to 3 weeks to hatch. I'm definitely going to be trying some other things with the tumbler and ordering one. We tried mimicking some of the pictures of them online at first, but couldn't get a good exchange of water through it. 🤔 Maybe being able to see a real one in person will be helpful. Thanks so much for watching and commenting, I really appreciate it! 😊

    Haha, well thank you so much! It was a simple-in-concept idea that we thought was going to take an hour tops, but ended up taking most of the day to figure out a configuration that actually worked. The eggs are still doing their little hops in there today, so 🤞! Thanks so much for the kind comment and for watching! ☺

    Hi Mary! Thanks so much, I really appreciate it! ☺ Honestly it needs a few little tweaks--I did buy one off Amazon, and it didn't really work well, the eggs would either not move at all or moved to the top of the amazon tumbler and stayed there. I'm going to see if I can combine the parts to get the best qualities of both designs. I've already had some success with my tumbler, though--😉👶🐟 Will be part of an upcoming video! Thanks so much for watching, I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

    Hi Tara! This is really cool, hope it works out good with the eggs, I know Arnold will find this super interesting when he gets home, we've been wondering about ways of doing egg tumblers for if he strips one of the Malawis and they have eggs instead of fry in their mouth, really interested how this turns out and works 😀 Saffie 👋 Junior and Reginald said this looks really cool too by the way 😀

    I love diy projects, and always good as a back up plan if not completely happy with it, Arnold did manage to raise some eggs in a small plastic container with a bit of airline through a whole in the top, which is probably not the best way either but the eggs hatched and we now have the fry growing and thriving so something was right, sometimes what doesn't look great to you still manages to do the job 🙂 Thank you for the early birthday wishes! 😀
