Nicola Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 I was just browsing through Age of Aquariums and came across this http://www.aquariumproducts.com.au/catalogue_products.php?prodID=5176 has anyone seen this before? (: i think it would be quite handy for those who have trouble hatching BBS or dont have the time or space to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild Nut Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 I've tried it, but it didn't really interest any of my fry except for guppies and they eat practically everything. I used it to feed some of my smaller natives instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadoh Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 I tried it for one of my spawns, but they weren't interested in any of it. I guess if you were to throw in some similar sized guppy fry, the bettas would soon learn it was food. The other thing is that it works out cheaper to hatch your own BBS...

zhong89 Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 is it alive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neffy Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 nope its just like frozen bbs cubes, its just preserved and u need to refrigerate after you open it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neffy Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 (edited) I think frozen wins the cheapest race (fozen vs instant only), based on me thinking about it for 2sec me too :( Edited January 24, 2012 by Neffy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fletch Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Funny that so many people have trouble hatching bs. Only time I did was a crap batch of eggs. Got a tin off someone and do nothing with them and have no problems. As for price, well Jarrod and I went halves in a $50 tin and I wouldn't have used a third in twelve months. I still hatch some now when I have no fry just to treat my community tank. My tetras are so spoilt, live blackworms, live bs, frozen bloodworms. Crazy really. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zhong89 Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 I don't have trouble hatching them. It's just that they're a pain in the backside to hatch as well as to harvest. Coz i can't just tip the whole thing in the tank and there's egg shells floating on top that I have to find a way to get rid of or else it foul the water when decompose.

Bettarazzi Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 I don't get why people have such issues with bbs either. It couldn't be simpler in my opinion. I think it's a GIRL thing. I don't know any guys that have issues with it. Whaaaaat?? :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brettc777 Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 I guess its comes with practice... i dont measure anything these days... a pinch of this a pinch of that, air.... done lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadoh Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Yeah, I agree - I have much better luck now that I stopped being fanatical about measuring everything out. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davo Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 I don't see this working in the outset. If you want it to work it has to be used in addition to live bbs. Personally speaking I use 20% Live BBS and the rest I use the Golden Pearl Food. As it's all suspended in the water column I noticed that the fry will chomp both off with no issues.
