Also, someone mentioned drowning, thats something to worry about and can be avoided, however it would probably take some rigging of a tub etc, that would take a lot of time for the "big breeders".
I can totally dig that and this being my first season im not sure what to really expect, thus why im thinking this method that doesn't require me to buy and mix these things would be more beneficial to me. I am going to produce a clutch with spiders and a clutch with pins.. hopefully.. next year ill have more projects that i can work with and all that but i really am focusing on learning what i can and hopefully producing healthy 'neonates' still trying to learn more about this water only method...
