A way to hatch tilapia eggs
Tis the season to breed tilapia. So I thought you might find this paper on how to hatch tilapia eggs helpful. However, just to answer some pre-questions:
1. Yes it works.
2. Yes it really is that inexpensive. Naturally the cost has gone up some since 2002 when this paper was written but it can still be done for under $15 (not including the air pump)
3. Yes it is completely scaleable.
4. Yes it will work on a variety of other egg types as well.
Here is the link to the paper. Enjoy: http://bit.ly/ZESh8I
