Cool trick!(at least I think it's cool...)

I use separate eye droppers for Prime and Stability and needed a way to keep track of them(and not lose them!) So I rigged this up out of duct tape: I took one piece of duct tape and folded it over(sticky side against sticky side), wrapped it around the dropper, secured it with a small piece of duct tape and then used a larger piece to attach it to the bottle. And once the bottles are empty they can be moved to the new bottles!

(PS: working on a DIY betta hammock, will post about that soon!)

Pretty slick. I may have to do something similar so my wife doesn't accidentally use my free 1ml syringe for medications.

When I open a new bottle of Prime, I leave the inside cover intact and just poke a small hole in it with a small pointed bamboo shish kabob stick. No eye dropper needed It comes out a drop, at a time . with a gentle squeeze to the bottle it comes out a little faster. Works for me and nothing to loose or clean. Alison

That's a really good idea, Alison! I never thought of doing that

Much easier. My first botlle, a small one I had taken the inside cover off and was using a needle and syringe which is a pain, and trying to pour it a lot spilled. When I got the next bottle I thought about it and figured it might work Because the amount of prime is 2 drops per gallon of water and I was using gallon jugs at the time. Alison

I love your dropper holders! What a great idea.

Super cool, PythonTheBetta! I'm going to do that. I am forever misplacing my fish eyedroppers!

I use eye droppers as well. I poked a hole in the top and just stretched it wider to just snuggly fit the eye dropper. No spillage.

But that eye drop holder is genius. I don't use stability or any other chem so my eye dropper is just wrapped in paper towel. Though, I will be making that holder.
