hi i have just found this on ebay and am really curious to find out how to do this and how long would it last as he says enough to feed 42 tanks a day and am not sure as i only have one tank

equipment needed?

time?

amount needed?

In addition to the eggs, you'll need a standard 2 litre bottle (or even jam jar), an air pump, some airline tubing, and some sea salt!

So simple. I put 2 teaspoons of salt into a half litre of water, and half a teaspoon of eggs. This feeds 20 or so fry for 3 days no problem.

so for that amount it would only last 3 days?

When i had over 50 tanks

i used to buy a 1lb can which lasted me a 10 months to a year which works out i was feeding 1.5-2g a day

if you've only got the one batch of fry to feed, that 20g will seem to last forever!
i bought 10g off ebay and haven't even made a dent in it, been feeding them for weeks and weeks.

I use 1/2 to 3/4 of a teaspoon daily for a fishroom with 30 tanks & 1200+ gallons when I'm really stocked. This means several hundred fry growing out along with adults of smaller species.
