I bought some BBS Eggs at the LFS the other day and a little critter keeper to grow them in and then I brought them home and realized Im probably missing a major key component...AREIATION....(sp?) So I went and I got a 30-60gal Air Pump and some airstones and another wand. And another air line...And I hooked the 30-60 gal to my 30 gal and took the 10 gal air pump out and now I need another air line..so erm...But anyways how to your grow them???? I have no clue..they've been sitting in the critter keeper for 3 days now...lol I was seeing if it'd work without the air...

Its pretty easy. I made a little setup (can't take credit for it, read it off somewhere), took a 2L pop bottle, cut off the top 2/3rds. took the top, flipped it around and stuck it back into the base. I punched a hole into the top cap, stuck in an air tube, then used silicone sealant on it. Once it dried, I pour water in, the salt level recommended (check the package, I can't remember exactly how much right now), then cover the whole thing with a cloth. I stick the whole thing into a little tub with water. the tub water doesn't mix with the bottle water, its just to warm up the thing. After 24 hours you get the little guys swimming around. shine a strong light at the bottom, then a few min later scoop up all the top gunk (hatched shells) and then throw it out. Then after that, put the strong light at the top, then scoop them out.
