Egg tumblers are used frequently by breeders of mouthbrooding fish such as African Cichlids. The gentle rolling action caused by these tumblers can simulate the normal incubation method of these fish. Allows egg incubation in same tank as fish are breeding in to provide identical water conditions during incubation period. For non non -adhesive fish eggs  only.

NEW Economy models: Inspired by the nice folks at KG Tropicals and others who have demonstrated simple tumblers using standard sponge filter parts. We are providing these already assembled with benefit of not having to use nylon stocking or fish net type mesh or rubber bands for holding fabric. Avoids the tearing risk which is common with placing thin mesh between these tightly fitted parts. Replacing mesh with a coin sized disk of nylon mesh that is more durable and can be re-used when opening / closing tumbler. For those breeders preferring to assemble their own can still of course purchase the parts - SEE BELOW.
