[Killietalk] Water incubation egg storage

["Christine" <christine at wildaboutbettas_com>]

I'm wondering about the different ways people store the eggs that are being 
water incubated.

I had what I *thought* was a great idea.  I bought one of those plastic 
drawer organizers that is made to hold doo-dads such as screws and nails. 
It's made by Stack-On and has 60 drawers in it.  Well upon getting it home 
and opening it, I found every drawer has a small pinhole in the bottom of it 
(I assume for drainage). I love the thought of having the eggs all organized 
and labelled in easy to change drawers in a very small amount of space.  I 
was thinking about plugging the holes with a tiny bit of safe epoxy but Im 
not sure if that would make it too difficult to clean the drawers well. 
Does anyone use these?  Is there another brand that perhaps doesn't have the 
holes in the drawers?  I saw a few other brands online but I'm not 
comfortable ordering them only to find they too have holes and then I have 
no way of returning it without paying for shipping it back.  I emailed some 
customer service departments Monday but I haven't received a single answer 
back from any of them yet.

I saw one person mention that they kept the eggs in the take-out sauce type 
containers on a tray in a rack.  Thats a great idea but I don't have enough 
space or need at the moment for something quite that large as I have only 3 
pairs of killies (for now!).

So, what do you do with yours?
