Don't think you'll have much luck finding. All the LFSs are closed for cny. You may wanna try boiled egg yolk.

It depends how fresh it is.
I can keep tubi for 1 week but must change the water everyday. Place them in a styrofoam box, add ice and air pump.

Why wouldn't your bbs hatch ? Does it happen often ? If it does, you need to find out whats wrong. They should hatch everytime you hatch it Maybe incorrect proportion of salt, water and eggs

Or maybe, you wanna try other eggs. I used to buy bbs from LFS and find that their hatch rate is terrible and almost gave up on bbs until i tried a better brand

don't need anti-chlorine.drain away water after washing.put 5-6 cubes of ice.make sure tubi is evenly spread.keep in cool place.wash twice a day.1 week not a problem.
