Re: [Killietalk] Anybody used dessicent packets with BS eggs?

[john nicholson <nicholsons_discus at yahoo_com>]

I just refuse to believe that the cyst are that sensitive.  I have
hatched out way to many over the years to worry about it.  Like I said
a couple of days back I open my cans in my fishroom twice a day, every
day and have for many years.  I have always kept my open cans in the
freezer and will continue to do so.  I mean come on guys this is not
rocket science.  It is a pretty easy task that I learned to do when I
was 7.  I am 39 now.  Unless you have a very serious humidity problem
the cyst will be fine.
