Best Fish Food? Baby Brine Shrimp 101

Thanks to JaneTanked for suggesting I do a Baby Brine Shrimp video. I begged Dean for a few months and finally.. we did it. We did record everything in reverse order but I did my best to put it together for you guys. If you have any questions please ask in the comment section.

There are dozens of videos on brine shrimp hatching on YT, and they are all basically correct, but with Dean you get "value added" content as far as the little attention to detail that his wealth of experience that years of doing this and constantly look to make the process work better for him each time. Thanks Jimmy.

[@alanmorris7669]

When I was a kid in the 1970s, I had no idea that my pet Sea Monkey's were actually just a bunch of brine shrimp. One thing's for sure, you can't teach them to do tricks like the comic book ad claimed.

[@arsonsnail]

👌😔

[@mrfry5637]

I had them I enjoyed it. I wonder what happen to them now that I think about it.

[@shanek6582]

Alan Morris ok up the guy that started that business, he was shady as hell!

[@FoamingPipeSnakes]

Did you think they were actually monkeys?

[@alanmorris7669]

@@FoamingPipeSnakes I knew they weren't tree-swinging monkeys, but I didn't know any more than that. I was only 9 years old at the time.

[@UHPhilipA]

Jimmy I cannot tell you how much I appreciate you recording Dean’s fish room and his techniques. Dean would be a dream mentor for any fish breeder hobbyist and the information he is sharing through your videos is invaluable. Thanks again!

[@andeyking]

I just want to say a big thanks to Dean for this little guide. Using his rough measurements I hatched my first ever batch with great success. My male Apisto finally has a full stomach after refusing anything prepared or frozen. For my first attempt, I used a less permanent version of a USB air pump connected to a drinking stray to get the air at the bottom of a water bottle.

[@Arizona9001]

Geez the estimating of ingredients killed me. For so long I have been following precise directions and here’s this guy. This is a good reminder to experiment sometimes.

[@catfishcave379]

That answers the rinse-no rinse argument pretty succinctly! Great video.

[@suzakur2225]

we need to see how to breed daphnia effectively next.

[@StanTheObserver-lo8rx]

ooop,just saw your comment.great minds think like.

[@velocirapty7697]

Its not breeding if you buy the eggs.. misguiding title for the win. ffs

[@jimmygimbal]

Except... the title says nothing about breeding.

[@Flyingdinosaur69]

Dude, this guys is a genius. Everytime i see him on a channel i'm learning.

[@littl3soprano]

I have my hatcheries going 24/7. Super easy to do (>5 minutes a day). I end up siphoning them in to a water bottle I cut the top off of. I add an airstone, restart the hatchery, and feed out of this water bottle all day. All of my fry, and even my adult fish, just adore them.

[@SanFranciscoBayBrand]

SF brine shrimp eggs (Artemia franciscana sp.) at a 70% hatch rate produce approximately 252,000 nauplii per gram of egg. Newly hatched nauplii are approximately 434 microns.

[@deansfishroom]

WOW!!! I am seriously humbled that a National/International company would take the time to comment on a video that I'm in. Note the micron size of 434 that these hatch at, they are much smaller than the great salt lake brine shrimp nauplii. This is what makes them great for those really small fry such as rainbows, barbs, tetras, and bettas, they are able to feed on a super nutritious live food days or sometimes weeks earlier. This gives them that initial growth spurt which translates into a much higher survival rate. I've used their brine shrimp eggs as well as their frozen brine shrimp for many many years.

[@kathleenwhite9741]

This guy is such a font of information. So glad you guys do videos with him. Thank you!! 👍👏😄

[@BentleyPascoe]

I've always used marine salt because of the water softness issue we have out in Seattle, baking soda is a really nice cheap fix. Learning from the best is always good - well shot Jimmy!

[@FullMoonAquatics]

Thank you both, Jimmy and Dean. Love your DIY and breeding tips, Dean. You are a true asset to the hobby.

[@QU35TIONZcc]

Dean is so smart it's crazy. He finds the way to solve issues u didn't realize were issues.

[@maniatikoleal]

I love Dean! He works so well, he has perfected so many methods into his living

[@deansfishroom]

Gotta make it easy so you can enjoy the rewards.

[@Kingoftroy0805]

Man, it's crazy how clean and pristine Dean's fish room is. I hope my fish room looks as clean when I make one

[@FishEZ]

Thanks Jimmy for a marvelous glimpse into Dean's BBS hatches. I am preparing to do the same and i appreciate the chance to actually see how to rinse the shrimp and the type of sieve that I need to get. Wonderful insight to some of the parameters and i like the little tools that Dean always seems to have handy, like the goose-necked light that's separate from the room lighting. Please keep getting Dean to do more videos. He's a wealth of knowledge for all in the hobby. #FishFam #FishTube

[@deansfishroom]

That light is very handy, comes from IKEA and is fairly cheap.

[@rocket5557]

Awesome! I was hoping you would make this video. I remember seeing Dean’s hatcheries in the background of one of you videos. Thanks for doing this. You guys make great videos together.

[@TheNemosdaddy]

Been in the hobby and commercial side for 30 years. Dean is a legend. Hope to meet him someday.

[@PunchiePaints]

picked up some tips for sure. Thanks Dean and Jimmy! 😊

[@Kerm448]

I've been watching a lot of brine shrip 'how to' videos recently, and this one is _by far_ the best!

[@AquaPeet]

Very, *very* professional camera and editing work!! Perfect to follow and complete.

[@karenwolfsen]

That was an awesome video. Your capture and Deans knowledge. You guys make a great team!

[@candioverhuls1003]

Thank you both!

[@phillip9451]

I have heard people talk about craft. But, this is the first time I have truly seen some one showing their craft!!

[@SlingdadDom]

That was fantastic. Thank you both.

[@samsheri_michael]

iam just aww struck this shows his heart in fish keeping his knowledge, after seeing this i just ant to start a fish room today... thanks for taking the video and thanks to dean for being so REAL. AND TRUE

[@fishcj4393]

Love Dean’s ideas and love your high quality videos. Learned a lot from you guys. Thanks 😊

[@hoei79]

Thanks, great vid! I can listen to Dean for hours 😀

[@jeffroweb]

Thank you for making this video! I think a DIY detailing the whole bottle setup would be great, but I was able to piece everything together using the comments from Dean in the video and here in the comments section. Thanks again! My fish will be happy! :)

[@ThePondLife]

That was the best step by step on Baby Brine Shrimp i have ever watched!

[@FrankiesAquatics]

I've always had success with brine shrimp with my fry and baby axolotls. They're easy to hatch out, quick and convenient. Great video!

[@ladyomiwankenobi]

This is a really informative video on brine and great footage as well. Much appreciated. Thank you! 🤙🏼

The brand of bottle to use alone was worth watching this video. I just started my first ever hatchery and noticed the eggs gathering on the rounded edges Dean pointed out.

Dean twice in a week 👍 Better than GoT!

Save some water by turning off the tap faster. It's stressful hahahaha But as always, this guy has so much information to share and so much knowledge, that's amazing.

[@hkkustoms98387]

I truly respect the way you did all of that.. The compassion, for someone to go through all that, to feed fry, fish, whatever.. That was truly, an awesome video of experience, within the aquatic community.. Big thumbs up, for this video... Thank you!!! Killer Kev, a biker, that loves fish, just as much as you do... 👍😊😉

AMAAAZING CONTENT!!!

[@irishaquarist]

I love hatching these for my Baby Bettas.

[@Lopaka541]

I've been following Dean for about a year. He is the most knowledgeable about fish breeding and raising fry. So I baught the Zissaqua hatchery and the co op eggs and neither had the formula for the salt water or the eggs had no formula on how much eggs to put in this delux hatchery. So I checked out good old Dean he knows everything Thanks uncle Dean

[@anouksurmenian4257]

This was very helpful! Thank you!

Cool video! I also do lots of brine shrimp, it's funny we do things a little differently but for the same reasons.

[@misodinamosa]

This is awesome, thank you!

Just found CPD fry in my tank, so this is going to help me out a lot, although the fry are pretty small right now. Maybe I should look into vinegar eels? don't know. Also been wanting to see Dean's brine shrimp set up since the last video you showed it. Thanks bub, great video.

[@PENFOLD1962]

Amazing... A video full of information throughout 👍😷👌

[@edh7271]

I don't do nearly as much but for a small hobbyist I decapsulate the eggs first and have no shells to deal with. otherwise his method is the same as mine-I use sea salt from grocery store, a pinch of baking soda.

[@johnrogers5825]

A bit late, but what is decapsulate eggs and how do you do it? Thanks.

Baby brine shrimp, never met a fish fry that didn't love it. 💕👍💕

[@michaelmccarthy4077]

I always found it easier to decapsulate the brine shrimp first. Gives a better hatch rate and no pesky shells, just shrimp and water (they also hatch faster).

[@johnrogers5825]

Hi, can you explain all that please?

[@michaelmccarthy4077]

@@johnrogers5825 it is a process where you dissolve the shells using bleach. Just google “how to descapsulate brine shrimp eggs”.
