Aquarium Fish Egg Incubator - Egg Tumbler

Aquarium Fish Egg Incubator - Egg Tumbler

The Aquarium Fish Egg Incubator - Egg Tumbler is an in-tank hatching chamber for fish and shrimp eggs. It circulates water gently around the eggs to keep them oxygenated and to help guard against fungal growth and egg damage. It suits breeders and hobbyists who want to protect eggs from being eaten, lost or damaged in a busy community tank.

Key Benefits

• Creates a safe, controlled hatching environment inside your aquarium, with water movement that mimics natural conditions.
• Uses an external air pump (sold separately) to produce a gentle tumbling motion, which stops eggs from clumping together and supports better hatch rates.
• Has a top filter that stops eggs from being swallowed.
• Has an arc-shaped bottom that cushions fragile eggs.
• Comes with a sturdy bracket and suction cup for a stable fit on the aquarium wall.
• Made from PC, PE, PVC and acrylic for long-lasting use.
• Works in both freshwater and marine tanks.

How to Use

• Clean the incubator and its accessories before first use.
• Attach the bracket and suction cup to the aquarium wall.
• Connect the air tube to an air pump (not included), passing it through the outlet elbow and air control valve.
• Fill the hatching chamber with aquarium water, add the eggs and close the cover.
• Make sure the incubator is fully submerged below the water level.
• Adjust the airflow until the eggs tumble gently without being damaged.

Important Notes

• The incubator must be used with an external air pump, which is sold separately.
