Fish room trick #201 Use a flooding syringe when stripping mouth brooding cichlids.
A gentler approach then the traditional tooth pick approach, this gentle rush of water floods the fry/eggs from the females mouth much quicker then the dunk or swoosh techniques
If you need a irrigation syringe ask your pharmacist for one and they usually give them to you for no charge.
Many people use them to give their children medication.
i have stainless steel restaurant shakers....
i also save all of my plastic coffee containers to hold flake foods , dipping water out of a tank and other things...
you can make some pretty cool filter from soda bottles and such...
John, do you ever have any issues with your flake getting mushy from being around moisture (in an "open" container like a salt shaker)?
I'm probably going to put in an order for some of your pellets/flakes soon. Our cats got into the medium pellets bag while we were out of town, spilled it all over the floor, and decided it was kitty litter and pooped in it.
actually ralph ; i didn't see them...i have never used a "reactor" so i know little about them...
hx....since we use it every day it doesn't get much chance to get mushy or clumpy...the shakers are for fry foods..(finer grained)...flakes are kept in the coffee containers and we have no problems with them either...
The spice shakers have screw lids. I don't like to smell open food. For moisture, I think you could put instant rice in the shakers like they do the salt and sugar here in the south.
