I like the hatchery you've but I have never used it. Instead I have great success in decapsulating the eggs before putting them in the pop bottle for hatching. Having no shells and waste works well for me.

How do you decapsulate the eggs.
@shaunneal99813 ай бұрын
@@Rajaguru.aradhya777 I soak half a tsp of brine shrimp eggs in 50ml of tap water in a cup. Leave it for an hour so until the eggs rehydrate. I then add three ice cubes and 200ml of pool chlorine. The reaction produces heat so the ice cubes keep the eggs cool. Continuously stir the eggs and watch the colour change. They go from brown to yellow to orange in about 3mins. When they are orange they are done. I put them in a brine shrimp net and rinse the chlorine off under the tap. I then put them in the hatchery but you can feed them without hatching them. You can use bleach and the different concentrations will determine how long it takes for them to change colour. The pool chlorine I use is strong so it doesn't take long.

Hi, since you have saltwater aquarium, it is easy enough with the cycled saltwater. Good job for raising bigger live food for the fish rather with the processed food. I also like to watch bbs grow as it test my patient and test the culture. 👍

How long does it take to get them that big. Any updates?? Thank you I am JAZZED LOL. Easy DHA Selco is the gut load. Trying to find a smaller bottle less expensive.

Brine shrimp are the most nutritious immediately after hatching and before they absorb their yolk sac. Raising them does nothing to help make them any more beneficial to your fish and actually makes them LESS nutritional.
