Brine Shrimp Life Cycle TIMELAPSE (No Words)

These are brine shrimp that I gathered and hatched from the Great Salt Lake in Utah. The total time elapsed from egg to adult was about 50 days.

It looks like they are dancing at a rave 😂

[@Twinkley1981]

Very cool how you have them under such good magnificent. Although I really wish you had a day counter. So people new to BBS would know the growth rate of them.

[@AmbaBamba96]

We just started our first batch I am a animal/aquatic fanatic and this video is beautiful thankyou!! Knowledge is power 🤓♥️!

[@rafi1234321]

They're such good dancers!

[@Muckwickett]

This is exactly what I needed. Thank you so much.

[@pauldelapena456]

I wish this had a day counter and background music

[@fantasticmicrobes]

Thanks for the recommendation! I’ll probably end up doing that soon

[@twilightgardenspresentatio6384]

I came hoping for the day counter and water temperature but stayed fir the microbes

[@therubinlab]

Great footage! Giving me inspiration for my teaching :)

It amazes me how you got those shots :D great video :)

[@BlackArroToons]

Great video showing these one eye baby Brine Sea Creatures up close. Thanks.

[@aberdeenkiko]

The Brine shrimp is now considered by the best space-biologist-scholars; to have been transferred to the planet Terra; by a violent stellar occurrence, when the planet Marte side-swinged collided with the planet Terra, about 140M years ago. And that means that: the video posted above; contains a small documentary about the ancient original fauna from Marte. Also to point that: a few Brine shrimp from long time ago Marte; got bigger and started predating the others, such as the Anomalocaris;; and then after a few million years of some of the faster & slimmer Brine shrimps; survived for the then next martian day;; some of them got even slimmer and turned into ancient fish, such as the Haikouichthys. Meaning that Brine shrimp and the first ancestors of nowadays fish; got onboard planet Terra; "clandestinely."

[@RajiJ116]

Hey dude its awesome ❤️ superb

[@atlasmof482]

Please tell me the song's name that you used in this video?@@

[@the_bean_8]

I know why they called sea monkeys because they are very cheeky monkeys when hatching to adults.

[@arsonsnail]

everyone elses brine shrimp hatched as little angel looking things? mine look like little round things, not at all like the ones in this video, any ideas??

[@shel.b.1090]

Perhaps you had triops?

[@arsonsnail]

@@shel.b.1090 turns out they were ostracods and theyre still going strong and healthy in my lil half gallon tank, dunno how the got there but theyre funny little things and i think theyre just as fun as sea monkeys :)

[@shel.b.1090]

@@arsonsnail how awesome xxx

[@arsonsnail]

@@shel.b.1090 ikr! i love em :)

[@arsonsnail]

well as of 5 months later, i got rid of the ostracods and ended up hatching REAL sea monkeys!! i'll put a vid of em swimming on my channel!

[@ChaosMagnet]

Do they only have one eye as babies? It’s hard to tell!

[@legoworks-cg5hk]

[@fantasticmicrobes]

Hahaha. I originally intended to make one video with a bunch of text with brine shrimp facts throughout the whole video. Those are the words that don’t exist. But yeah, you got me 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@user-od6ue9zv9u]

It's so small

[@abdulbasithazeem]

How long does it take to become adults

[@Dalmatg]

Like 3 weeks

[@rifaierosli4859]

How long does it take to grow to full size?

[@lulishamlan9318]

Maybe 1 mont

[@fantasticmicrobes]

These took about 3 weeks. According to the Great Salt Lake Institute, they can take about 2-3 weeks. A lot of it depends on water temperature, salinity, and food availability. You can find out more here: wildlife.utah.gov/gsl/brineshrimp/life_cycle.php

@@fantasticmicrobes thank you ❤️

[@johnnycash8301]

Name of songs??

[@Chopolino_LLC]

What are they eating?

[@fantasticmicrobes]

In the wild, they’d normally eat algae and other microorganisms. Sometimes they even eat each other. When caring for them at home, they’re not picky eaters. I sprinkle some wheat flour or protein powder every other day for them and they do pretty well with that. One time I even processed foods ground up, like Wheat Thins, Cheez-Its, and Graham crackers.. The graham crackers killed them overnight...

[@shiwanisingh4113]

But, there was music

[@fantasticmicrobes]

Oh I just added the music last week, but forgot to edit the title.

[@shiwanisingh4113]
