How often do these guys breed? And how many offspring could I expect from one brood? (Just to keep that in mind with tank space)

Well, they all died on me after 1 month. I saw a lot of egg on them though.

I received my 12 in the middle of March, I guess there are about 45-50 now. Your question made me wonder, I could count 40 just now, but there are many hiding places/plants where I wouldn't be able to see the smaller babies. No deaths that I've noticed, and I haven't done any water changes. The plants and algae are growing very quickly though. Maybe they use/absorb nitrates?

Constantly, I started with a dozen last July, now I have hundreds. Just started a new tank just for them. They have almost 0 bio load, however they can be very sensitive to nitrates. If I don't do water changes twice a week I almost always lose a few. But these are my favorites!

HI there... Just drop one in warm water and wait.. It will take a day or two but the egg will crack and a baby dinosaur will hatch!

I can't post a link to the user manual that was made by a breeder who thought the manual it came with was a joke (Because you have to create an acct and log in to get to it) but the website is called backyard poultry dot com (all one word, period instead of word "dot"). If you go to it and search the forum for janoel 48, you should find it. You can also go to backyard chickens dot com and do a similar search. Lots more info there, too, and a link was posted to the other website I listed, but again, you have to go to the website and create an acct (it's free) to see the info posted therein. I just went through a few of the better detailed threads and was able to get it to work well enough. Still doesn't beat a broody for success rates, but having the tips will help a lot.

Yes that's what I hatched last spring. I put 5 in and 3 of them hatched. I love that incubator and my first graders were amazed!

They breed like cockroaches. If it's one thing they do is breed. Their eggs came on live plants I bought and soon my tropheus cichlid tank was dotted with them. Then they started breeding and clogged the filter valves of my Eheim. To get rid of them I had to purchase assassin snails which slowly ate them for up to six months to control them. Pests I say, don't think they are a cute novelty.

it might be a little to much. I have it in a 29g currently and it's okay for my convict breeding pair. I tried to put it in a 20 long planted tank before and it was overkill. hope this helps

One will be plenty. I only have one in my 36 gallon and it moves more then enough water.

Hi there. The maximum number of chicks I have had under this brooder is 17 Orpington chicks. They did not all fit under the brooder and I felt 17 was too many. It maybe OK for more chicks of a smaller breed. I have now bought the larger EcoGlow 50 as well as the 20.

Ashley, I would highly discourage introducing Assissin or any other snail into your tank. They will reproduce like crazy and soon you will be overrun with snails. I speak from personal experience. They don't clean the tank at all. I would suggest two or three small variety of Corey Catfish. They will do a great job of cleaning.

I keep 3 with plenty of room. I think up to 6 would be comfortable. Make sure you reinforce to keep predators out.My Dad raised 5000. It's amazing how little space chickens need to be happy and keep laying.

I have not purchased this item and will never do so. One being that it is not worth it for what it is... Second that is is stressful on the fish being that they can see each other. Third, this is much too small to comfortably house three bettas. A single betta for this volume of water would be best. This is not to say that you can't house 3 bettas in such a small tank, but that it would be best to provide 2 1/2 gallons or 5 gallons minimum per fish. Maintenance may also be a problem. A single betta in a 5 gallon tank that has been cycled, has a heater, and is filtered would be best. Or you can divide a 5 gallon in two with a divider that prevents either betta from seeing each other or getting past. If you want companions for your betta, do some research online.

Yes, a 40 breeder is recommended for one bearded dragon and this has the same floor space as one of those, just not as tall. With that in mind you'll need to adjust the heat bulb that you use on these because the distance from the screen to the ground is less. It took me a few tries to make sure mine was right and not overheating the cage.

I often have 2 hens in a nest at a time. It is perfectly ok. They lay their eggs and are perfectly happy. The box is big enough for the 2 hens actually, unless they are Giants.

I have a few other types in my 125 gallon tank and they seem to get along nicely. No issues for the past few months they have been together!

Hi. We hatched out chicks last month. When the time was up, it just kept running. We had it running for an extra day and it did not shut off until we turned it off. Good luck with your hatch!

I have 25 week old chicks in my top heated rack an 18 4week old chicks in my bottom rack. They all have room to eat and still run around flapping like crazy so you could put more. I think the manufacture says 50 day olds then 25 at 3 or 4 weeks. I love these brooders...
