Has anybody ever used toms's hatch n feeder

[itchy96]

Hi i want to set up a dwarf tank and it seems like the toms feeder would supply a steady stream of bbs into the tank. I cant seem to find any info about them.

most people don't like the use of things like that for dwarf tanks: you need to use decapsulated eggs, some people site ammonia with hatching, and its pretty dirty all in all hatchin brine shrimp...

Thanks swanwillow. I guess i have to hatch the bbs the old fashion way.

Yea the old fashion way is best. When bbs hatch the water becomes chuck full of different bacterias that can really wreak havoc on your dwarves. You also don't want to introduce hydroids into the tank from the egg shells. Use decapsulated brine shrimp eggs. If you don't mind decapping yourself, it's not that hard.
