Re: [Killietalk] Re: Hatching BBS eggs

[George Slusarczuk <yurko at warwick_net>]

Hello Kris,

I have hatched BBS both ways. If I need just a few BBS, the tray method
(or shoebox, or Petri dish, or...) is easier and more economical.
 
If one needs more nauplii, then the "reactor" method (hatching cone,
inverted bottle or jug, etc) is the way to go. It all depends on what
your needs are.

Best,

George

Totally foreign concept to me, and yet there they were, a sworm of bbs congregating near a corner of the shoe box, with many more unhatched eggs spread out in the bottom of it. He said that is how he has done it all his life (he's in his 70's)."
