ZET-80 Fish Egg Tumbler Incubator

Bought this as seen numerous recommendations for Ziss egg tumblers & fry boxes. Very good product already hatched 2 lots of eggs in this and also purchased Ziss EZ Breeder which is also very good.

My Yellow Rock Kribensis Cichlids had their first brood of 8 fry. Not bad, subsequent batches could be up to 40! This will accommodate that many. My fish are mouth brooders so mum would not eat for up to a month while holding. I made the decision to strip her of the eggs rather than slowly watch her waste away which is why I bought this Incubator.My advice is to use an air pump with adjustable flow so the water movement can be adjusted from gently rocking to more movement as the fry grow to help them become stronger.This was my first attempt at using an incubator and raising fry and was quite hair raising!Watch videos on YouTube for guides on raising fry in an incubator/egg tumbler.

Abit smaller than we expected but does the job just fine.

One of the 4 glass suckers is missing, tried asking for a spare to be sent or some kind of replacement and I just end up in a loop of contact seller or or not e returnable item.I have had one before and still use it and they are superb for what they do.

Great device. Wish was easier to add food too

Not very impressed with this Egg tumbler. I bought this as it was the well known brand but after just 1 day of use the metal gauze kept getting clogged meaning that not enough water movement could get through to make the eggs tumble. It works fine after being cleaned, but not something you should have to do every day! I believe the only way to use it is to place it in an aquarium where you aren’t creating any waste, so ie in an empty tank where zero food is added

The media could not be loaded. This fry keep is excellent. I find feeding the fry with a syringe injecting it into the sponge which then flows into the chamber

A very good product. Bear in mind you need to have an air pump to make it work.I have successfully incubated 3 batches of frys on it. Any unfertilised eggs eventually make their way out, which can clog the mesh.If you are breeding your cichlids, this will do the job.
