① Males and females will be prepared in the evening of the day before the day of egg collection.
② 2-3 male animals are transferred to a water tank for egg collection. Distinguish between males and females by color tone (males are more orange)
③ Place a stainless steel cage on the water tank for egg collection. Check that the bottom of the car is submerged in water.
④ Select two females from the female aquarium and place them in a cage above the aquarium containing males.
⑤ Place the lid of the water tank on the basket to prevent males and females from jumping out.
⑥ On the morning of the next day, the male under the tank is caught by the net and transferred to the upper basket.
⑦ Check if males follow females.
⑧ The egg laying is confirmed soon after it begins to catch up. (sometimes not done)
⑨ Allow to stand for about 20 minutes and wait for the fertilized egg to accumulate at the bottom of the tank.
⑩ The basket containing both sexes is transferred onto another tank.
⑪ Prepare a siphon of the hose, a plastic petri dish, and a brown strainer.
⑫ Put water into the hose, place one mouth in the tea pepper to prevent water from exiting, and place the pepper on a plastic petri dish.
⑬ Collect eggs submerged under the tank in a tea filter using siphons of hoses.
⑭ The breeding water is put in the plastic case, and the fertilized egg accumulated in the tea lump is put in it.
⑮ Transfer the fertilized egg to a glass Petri dish using a pipette with a large mouth.
⑯ Use a large pipette to remove water from the glass petri dish.
⑰ Place 0.1% trypsin Ringer's solution (about 120 μl of 0. 1N NaOH solution in 100ml) from the top of the fertilized egg and allow to stand. Observe that the egg membrane separates into two sheets under a stereomicroscope.
⑱ When the egg membrane is peeled off, use a large pipette to move the trypsin solution so that the egg is not sucked in, and separate the egg membrane and embryo. Do not foam. When foamed, the embryo explodes in contact with the foam.
⑲ Move the Petri dish gently to collect the egg membrane removal egg in the center.
⑳ Transfer the membrane-depleted eggs to an agarose petri dish filled with the primary culture.
