BioPro Aquarium Egg Tumbler Hatchery 60mm – 3 Pack
Incubate multiple batches of fish or shrimp eggs at the same time with this three-pack of BioPro 60mm Aquarium Egg Tumblers. Each tumbler provides independently adjustable, air-powered water movement to help keep compatible loose eggs gently moving and oxygenated during development.
The three-pack is ideal for breeders managing several spawning pairs, different clutches or eggs at different stages of development. Each tumbler includes its own airline, air stone, airflow control valve and coarse sponge. An air pump is required and sold separately.

Key Features and Benefits
- Three complete 60mm egg tumblers: Incubate multiple compatible egg batches separately.
- Independently adjustable airflow: Each tumbler includes its own control valve for fine-tuning egg movement.
- Gentle water circulation: Helps keep loose eggs moving and exposed to oxygenated aquarium water.
- Useful for mouthbrooding cichlids: Suitable for compatible loose eggs removed from or released by the parent fish.
- Suitable for some shrimp eggs: Can be used with compatible loose shrimp eggs when the airflow is kept especially gentle.
- Space-saving breeder setup: Run several incubation chambers within the same suitable aquarium or breeding system.
- Complete accessory sets: Three airlines, three air stones, three airflow valves and three coarse sponges are included.
Why Choose the Three-Pack?
A single tumbler is useful for an occasional clutch, while this three-pack gives active breeders more flexibility. You can keep eggs from different breeding pairs separated, incubate multiple clutches simultaneously or maintain different flow rates for eggs at different stages of development.
Because each tumbler has an individual airflow valve, water movement can be adjusted separately. This is important because egg size, development stage and species can affect the amount of movement required.
What Does an Aquarium Egg Tumbler Do?
An egg tumbler uses air-driven water movement to gently circulate compatible loose eggs inside a protected chamber. This helps prevent the eggs from settling in a stagnant pile and supports a steady supply of oxygenated aquarium water.
The eggs should move gently rather than being thrown forcefully around the chamber. Excessive movement may damage developing eggs, while insufficient circulation may allow them to clump together.
Which Eggs Are Suitable?
The BioPro 60mm Egg Tumbler is primarily intended for loose, non-adhesive fish eggs, including eggs from many mouthbrooding cichlids. It may also be suitable for loose shrimp eggs when operated with very gentle airflow.
It is generally not intended for adhesive eggs that remain attached to a rock, cave, plant, spawning cone or other surface. Always research the breeding and incubation requirements of the particular species before transferring eggs.
How to Set Up the Three Egg Tumblers
- Rinse each tumbler and its components in clean, dechlorinated water before use.
- Install the coarse sponges and air stones correctly inside the tumblers.
- Position each tumbler securely in a suitable, established aquarium or breeding system.
- Connect each tumbler to an appropriately sized aquarium air pump.
- If using one pump for all three tumblers, use a suitable three-way manifold or gang valve and make sure the pump provides sufficient output.
- Use each supplied airflow valve to adjust the tumblers independently.
- Add compatible eggs and set the airflow so they move gently without being forced against the chamber walls or sponge.
Additional aquarium airline tubing and fittings may be required depending on the location of the pump and the layout of your breeding system.
Getting the Flow Rate Right
There is no single airflow setting suitable for every species or egg batch. Begin with a low setting and increase it gradually until the eggs remain gently moving. They should not sit motionless in a pile, but they also should not bounce violently around the chamber.
Check each tumbler regularly because airflow can change as air stones age, airline connections move or equipment develops mineral deposits.
Monitoring the Eggs
Inspect the eggs regularly and remove any clearly infertile or deteriorating eggs where practical. Maintain stable, species-appropriate temperature and water quality throughout incubation.
An egg tumbler can support suitable incubation conditions, but it cannot guarantee fertilisation, prevent every fungal issue or ensure that every egg will hatch. Results depend on egg viability, water quality, temperature, airflow and the requirements of the species.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the three-pack include an air pump?
No. It includes three tumblers and their individual airline, air stone, airflow valve and coarse sponge sets. A suitably sized air pump is required separately.
Can I operate all three tumblers from one air pump?
Yes, provided the pump has sufficient output and is connected using an appropriate multi-outlet manifold or gang valve. Each tumbler should be adjusted independently using its airflow control valve.
Is each egg tumbler 60mm wide?
Each tumbler has a hatching chamber diameter of approximately 60mm and an overall height of approximately 230mm.
Can I incubate different species at the same time?
The separate tumblers can hold different compatible egg batches, but all species sharing the aquarium water must have compatible temperature and water-quality requirements.
Is this suitable for cichlid eggs?
It is suitable for compatible loose eggs from many mouthbrooding cichlids. Research the breeding requirements of the particular species before removing or transferring eggs.
Can it be used for shrimp eggs?
It may be used for compatible loose shrimp eggs, but the airflow must be kept particularly gentle. Suitability depends on the shrimp species and the condition of the eggs.
Will an egg tumbler guarantee that the eggs hatch?
No. It helps maintain gentle water movement around compatible eggs, but hatching success also depends on fertilisation, egg health, water quality, temperature and species-specific requirements.
