Here is kinda how I go about it. I have a container ser on the floor with tank water in it. I also have a bowl with tank water in it. The bowl has the bottom section of the egg tumbler in it. I net up momma as fast as a I can. Wet your hands in the tank grab ahld of her, make sure you've got a good hold of her since they tend to move a bit. I'll open up her mouth with my other hand and cont to put her face into the water in the container. Up and down until all of the eggs or wigglers are out. Make sure to look in her mouth all the way to make sure they are are out. They hold her at the top of the water line. First letting out any air that is inside her then letting her get used to the water again and then off she goes.

Next, pour most of the water out of the container and then pour the eggs into tumbler bottom inside bowl. Add a few drops of Meth blue. I then take the bowl and set it inside the tank and add the bottom to the top of the tumbler. You want to make sure the eggs never come out of water. Then they are tumbled until they're ready to go into a breeder net. Then onto the breeder tank

So on and so on

It's not the easiest thing to do. I cause this on myself. I could let them hold longer but most won't They are still pretty young yet
