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



Yes I do use the Dessicant packets. I usually put 2 of the packets in my jar with the eggs. I use one of the mason type jars with the rubber seal ring and spring wire closure. I keep the jar in my basement outside of the fish room. I have always had good hatches using this method. I have found this latest discussion very interesting.

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.

Hi Burt,

Some cysts used to come with a bag of dessicant in the can. No more.
I think this is because they found an optimum storage humitity that is well above zero percent. Until the experts advise otherwise, I do not


use them.

Of course, they would do nothing to prevent the damage caused by exposing cold eggs to humid air. That is an almost instant process
that no dessicant can possibly prevent.
