Raising brine shrimp!

[@Sedonaboo135]

This was one of the most informative videos I have seen. I am wanting to do a brine shrimp tank for feeding my fish and this answered most of my questions. Thank you

[@EJFrostuk]

Really helpful, particularly re what you feed them and keeping the aeration low, which other brine shrimp videos don't talk much about.

[@davidlooney873]

Thanks for all the awesome videos; you are the man! I am so appreciative of all your efforts and thx for all the tips.

[@ryanpeters2028]

This was the most 90's intro ever 😂

[@matthewcastagna3319]

[@JamesKing2understandinglife]

I think you are an experienced brine shrimper. Thanks for you take on how you do it.

[@ethanr7977]

KZbin doesn't have enough channels like yours keep it up man. You've got a dedicated viewer right here and my sub.

[@MikesFishRoom1]

Thank you very much Ethan! I am really enjoying making videos and talkin to cool people. I figured I have so much going on that it might make descent content. Really appreciate your kind words.

[@lindaford3976]

I really enjoyed your video. I was successful in brewing up a batch, but then I thought, they needed to be bigger! I had NO IDEA what to feed them and how. Now I got it!!!! Thank you.

[@karmaink775]

First video I watched all week to actually help me

[@nibblesthesquirrel5849]

First video I've seen of yours & I subbed JUST because you played Coheed in the intro... BEST INTRO EVER!! (Coheed & Cambria is my all time fave band, lol) Plus I enjoyed your content!!

[@aquariomarinho]

Like video ! Merry Christmas !! 🔨🐠🐠🐠

[@jamestetreault7675]

Great info, please keep up the updates. This is exactly what I would like to do. Thanks

[@mikecarr3188]

Great info and the fish room is looking good I dig the flat black

[@MikesFishRoom1]

Thanks Mike. I need to put clear on it. Water is starting to mess it up already. Lol thanks for watching!

[@michaelagostino3483]

Thanks, another great video. Learned a lot about raising brine shrimp. Makes me want to give it a go.

[@MikesFishRoom1]

Glad you enjoyed it! You should! It's pretty cool having a live snack for the fish. Just fed some to my Angels. They went nuts! Lol Thanks for watching.

[@josephdicesare5018]

Hey Mike...............Your video is great. It hit the main points, and they all work. I am raising angelfish fry, and I need brine shrimp. I want to keep a steady cycle of brine fry coming, but later on i would like to grow some out. I will be doing it in a heated 2.5g tank, and with your pointers, I think i got it! Thanks.

[@tonyloechte9994]

A message from across the lake excellent video love ya tanks

[@11sheeva]

You are sooooooooooooooooooooooo right about the Brine Shrimp needing algae to survive. I recently set up a Hatchery and i took some algae from my 55 gallon reef tank and put it in the bucket i am using to raise brine shrimp and i also use Spirulina Powder and i have had AMAZING RESULTS!!!! My hatch rate went from being able to hatch 100 or so to 10,000 with 90% of them staying alive!! Thanks man great video!!!

[@Eric2Judd]

So glad I found this channel

[@nathanking2484]

Great job on the video, much appreciated. Hopefully my next try will be successful ;)

[@DeeFromBrooklyn]

good info man. i never had good hatches but you pointed out some good stuff. . gonna use my reef water and hatch em in the refugium. . I'll keep you posted

[@MikesFishRoom1]

Sweet! That will be very cool. I'll be watchin!

[@markdegrange6445]

Thanks for your suggestions. My brine keep dying at 2 weeks. I have not been using heat so I’m going to try 80 degrees. If that doesn’t work I’m going to try water out of the Chesapeake Bay here in Maryland. I think my city water is bad. Maybe bottled water will help

[@heavenkleinschmidt6340]

i literally have no water filter and they are doing fine!! I am feeding them a little amount of yeast and it seems like they are eating because it keeps getting clearer. AND.... they're mating!!!!

[@jcman-lp6lg]

LoL dat intro you look like you'd be one of those tough mean guys but then your 90's style intro comes you start dancing and boom best intro ever just earned yourself a sub:D

[@jackry1011]

Excellent and informative vid. Glad I came across it. I'm experimenting with my first brine shrimp hatch to feed a couple of scarlet badis that I just got. Well done, man.

[@MikesFishRoom1]

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@skinney0011]

Thanks for the info Mike. Not a lot of videos on growing brine shrimp to adults. I'm trying a second time but using green water I added the appropriate amount of salt, Epsom salt and a pinch of baking soda (my water is well water) to and did a water change with that. We'll see how it goes. The algae hasn't died so I guess the salt hasn't killed it and hopefully it will help with the cycle. Thanks again!

[@MikesFishRoom1]

The baking soda is a very good idea. I have no experience with epsom salt. Good luck and please let me know how it turns out. Thanks for watching!

[@JKJeepster33]

Great video brother, will definitely give brine shrimp another go. tried them before with not a lot of luck. after this vid I will try again. thanks man.

[@MikesFishRoom1]

Thanks! Do you have any idea what could have given you a hard time?

[@JKJeepster33]

I think it was the temp and or salinity. mostly I think it was the water temp. I had a light on it but it doesn't get really warm at all. I think if I would have giving it more time I would have had a better turn out.

[@MikesFishRoom1]

+JKJeepster33 ya that was my luck. There is another guy on youtube( dont remember his name)but he puts his in a tub outside and they do well in the warmth. Good luck with it. if your find out any extra tricks let me know.

[@israelmartinez4097]

Found this channel while looking up driftwood. Love your videos

[@CantrellBeau]

Great vid! Brine shrimp are one of those take it for granted organisms in the fish hobby. They are actually pretty cool little creatures. Look at one under a low power microscope and they are actually kind of freaky. Anyway, thank you for sharing your experience. Subbed.

[@MikesFishRoom1]

Sorry for the late reply. I love having them on hand. Cool little things. Lol thanks for watching and thanks for the sub!

[@juliomaida143]

Hi Mike, thanks for your tip my brine shrimps are dying due 1010 density but I will raise to 1024 and I will control the water heatering using a termostat to maintain to 80 oF.

[@DEAexotics]

great information thanks for sharing keep the videos coming

[@MikesFishRoom1]

+Dakota Aquatics Thank you! Will do.

[@tonetoner8789]

Hey man, thanks for the advice. Helpful to me

[@302exotics6]

Just got some eggs in the new myaquarium box gonna need to start hatching when my pair decides to lay again. Great video

[@MikesFishRoom1]

Sweet! That's pretty cool that came in your box.

[@302exotics6]

Yeah I'm making an unboxing video it will be done soon

[@albertflores5194]

Interesting video, I didnt know that about brine shrimp at all. I just feed it to my fish and bloodworms too (both are frozen) keep it up mike, look forward to another vid!

[@MikesFishRoom1]

+Albert Flores Those are the two frozen foods I use as well. It's pretty neat being able to grab a live snack for them! Thanks! Will do👍

[@0917454]

All I needed to know in the 2 videos you posted. thanks!!!

[@surfcoastsuze8983]

This is awesome, just bought some sea monkeys for the kids. Hopefully they don’t all die. I’ll watch a few of your videos, maybe a small fish tank with fish might be better. Hi 👋 from Oz 🇦🇺

[@MikesFishRoom1]

+josh's aquariums I take that back. just looked and its not there. shoot me an email. [e-mail]

[@RainiervanSlingerlandt]

What I understand from Brine Shrimp is that they come from the Great Salt Lake in Utah. They like it salt much more so then normal sea water. The high salt levels actually keeps them alive because the lack of predators in the Salt Lake. I actually bough special Brine Shrimp (Artemia) food from JBL ArtemioFluid. It is made of FytoPlankton. But the most interesting thing is the manual. it says that the hatched shrimp won't be able to feed till after about 3 days.

[@DelfinoGarza77]

I was always thought one of the advantages of brine shrimp was that they were salt water animals. because they are salt water any disease they may have would not get transfered to a freshwater fish. now 25 years ago a saw a documentary about harvesting salt through evaporation on large tracts of desert land. some kind of plant was a problem so brine shrimp were introduced to eat the plant. apparently brine shrimp can tolerate salinity 10 or 20 times that of sea water. I am getting back into fish ...I used to grow brine shrimp...i could get them to adults easily if I had some plants or algae from the ocean with them.

[@RyansAquarium]

Cool vid bro, it'd be fascinating to grow brine shrimp out, maybe I'll give it a go sometime

[@MikesFishRoom1]

+RyansAquarium You should! It's a cheap experiment. Thanks for watching!

[@austinmiller9647]

awsome choice of drink

[@cricketb9665]

really appreciate this video- well filmed, easy to understand- thank you! + 1 sub, and now i'm off to watch more!

[@raytuu]

Good job buddy! You could grow anything!

[@DJ_LittlePea]

That was really interesting Mike I've never had shrimp but if I do your the man I'm coming to for advice 😍😍

[@MikesFishRoom1]

+PsychedelicBabe lol Sweet! Love to help!

[@Ms_Ray]

Cool Video!!

[@PuppetMaster8707]

so I'm doing a pretty basic setup for brine shrimp and I don't like using a filter stone for it so I took some tubing and plugged up the one end and then I poked a bunch of pin holes in the tube it's been working great and I hope it lasts

[@Reefkeeper578]

Thanks Mike. Lot's of helpful info!

[@MoreChannelNoise]

I had success with them in just a 2 gallon tank and feeding pinches of crushed brewers yeast tablets. If you were wanting to make a good batch for freezing, I would get a kiddies pool and use that for the warmer month or two in the summer.

[@CloverKismet]

Sweet! I was just wondering how to grow out brine shrimp. Thanks! :D

[@georgearias7336]

Great video!!

[@MikeKollin]

Do you have any other videos on Brine shrimp, especially how your set up? Thanks!! Great Video...

[@famousamos]

What's the intro song?!

[@michaeljohnson1234]

Coheed and Cambria - Three Evils. Great Band!

[@11sheeva]

I am a little torn about the lighting? I see on some sights that the light needs to be on all the time but other sites say the light does not need to be on at all. I have a heater in there and i keep it at about 80 degrees. I keep the light on about 14 hours a day for the brine shrimp.

[@emmanuelgutierrez8616]

I feed mine yeast, They get big in 2 weeks. Check your PH should be a 8.1, I use baking soda. and with a light bulb close enough, you keep the water warm. I dont use aerator, i used the Dish setup instead. A tank setup seems difficult to harvest

[@is3789]

thx so much for this video I am now more better at hatching them

[@cheriesmith9263]

I like the music at the beginning.

[@FishBehindGlass]

Great vid. You show that it's pretty easy with a little know how. Is the any smell from these? I'd like to try it, but the wife has certain conditions. I can try anything, as long as she doesn't have to get a nasty stink for me to do it.

[@MikesFishRoom1]

+Fish Behind Glass Thank you! I myself dont notice any smell but if you leave thair stone out it will stink. I just went and shoved my nose in the 5 gal. I cant smell anything. but tread with caution. you might have a better sniffer than me.lol

[@mancfishkeeper]

s for the advice bro .. i've subbed you and your a fishkeeper channel like me so makes it even better il keep an ey on videos mate =D

[@gigdog1000]

wow that is the best info i have had thanks

[@MikesFishRoom1]

I'm glad I could help. Thanks for watching!

[@proutsos]

subbed for the intro song and the dr pepper!

[@Hemlighetsmakeri]

Thank you so much for this informative video! 😃 is it a must to have light on them 24/7? I mean, they won't have that in the wild 🤔

[@damionmarkham9835]

thanks Mike very helpful

[@MikesFishRoom1]

+Damion Markham No problem. Thanks for watching. If you watched it before i put the note up at 2m 38 sec. i make a correction on the phyto feast theory.

[@ExtraSteps]

Using higher salinity makes sense to me. Brine shrimp eggs are harvested from the Great Salt Lake which is waaay saltier than the ocean.

[@kifter4254]

Wow nice tank. What are those airpump things! Are they just for air

[@MikesFishRoom1]

Teamblubz just a sponge filter. Doesn't remove debris but is a great biological filter.

[@mr.octopus6972]

It's all good exept for those numbers you gave about salinity. I don't want to invest in salt water material so, ~ how much spoons of salt / gallon ?

[@Geoff]

hi i know this video is a couple years old, but im new to keeping an aquarium. Right now ive got a little brine shrimp/ sea monkey zoo tank and that holds about 2 cups of water. For now, I am keeping brine shrimp as pets (until i know enough about keeping marine fish). I would like to transfer my small brine shrimp tank into a larger one gallon tank. ive got salt water mixed for the large tank, and have checked it with a mechanical hydrometer for a 1.022 specific gravity (chose this number to allow for some variance in my hydrometer reading, and it is right in the middle of 1.018 and your recommended 1.024 s.g. My question is what is the best way to transfer the nauplii (hatchling sea monkeys, not yet adult). into the larger tank? And will waiting for some algae growth in the new tank or waiting for the brine shrimp to reach adulthood increase chances of survival or is it better to transfer while they are still young? Thank you. My next steps are to test water ph and get more accurate electronic meters, but i do not have those yet. Thanks for your time! And thank you for the info in your brine shrimp video!

[@keeganrussell541]

wow this guy is the ant canada of fish

[@frankgordonsmith4795]

nice vid helped me out a lot

[@CEA046]

Did you use a marine salt mix for the tank? I have a good amount of aquarium salt but I’ve been reading that it’s not recommended.

[@katielyb]

That's exactly what I have to try with brine shrimp. Good to know. I figure it's got spurlina in it so it should work.

[@pathfinderadventures3469]

Thanks for the info

[@michaelornelas2868]

I WAS LIKE... SHIT THAT SOUNDS LIKE COHEED!!!! ROCK ON BROTHER!!!! just got u a subscribe

[@kehw]

Love the pj bottoms. haha

[@MikesFishRoom1]

+kehw lol the best way to film

[@Jimi182]

I am not sure but I would think the lowering of salt levels in the hatchery water is so the fresh water fish eating the brine are not consuming as much salt in the shrimp. Consuming to much salt is hard on the internal organs in all animals. I could be totally wrong here but if the hatchery water is more salty the brine probably have more salt in them.

[@marektustin4637]

Thank you for video, man

[@NatureWitch]

Thanks for the tips I live in Michigan and I'm going to try this out and see if it works I want my betta fish to eat good he loves brine shrimp especially when they're alive and the place by my house sells the brine shrimp for $3 for a very small container that you put like sweet and sour sauce in from McDonald's and I don't think that's worth $3.59 for just a few brine shrimp that end up dying the next day

[@Domisgreater]

Video started with a Coheed and Cambria intro. I subscribed isntantly

[@ritesha8050]

hello, can i use a blue drum, pool salt for the salt and keep it outdoor???.

[@luisperez-ruiz1173]

Hi mike, thanks for your videos. I love all of them. I would like to ask for advice. My Ángels fry are dying. The become like crazy, swimming fast and die. I tried metronidazole, erithromycin , salt, increases temperature but still they are dying. Thanks

[@AntoniePotgieter]

Nice video. I culture live phytoplankton which i feed to my artemia brine shrimp. The phytoplankton is microalgae.

[@johnsimpson8462]

Yay Coheed! and aquariums!! great!

[@berndb.3403]

Isnt the filter not filtering out the food that the artemias need? I never put a filter in my Artemia tanks. best if it gets lot of sun and build a lot of algae

[@lesterthenatureguy1632]

Have you try daphnia magna. They have similar nutrition, and they are a lot easier to breed. And they are also freshwater so the can live in your freshwater tank until your fish eat them

[@eisvogel8099]

Gonna make the eggtumbler too for my petricola and use that chemical aswell. Have you ever heard your angels making sounds?

[@heatherbarnes7179]

We keep our apartment cool so they where supper slow to hatch. We saw a few babies swimming around but then they just stopped. We thought they all died but as soon as we changed what our apartment temp was to warmer i noticed that they where there again. We have a mating pair at the moment and ive been seeing small flickers in the water then boom they are gone. We also had 3 good sized but then now there are two. Do they cannibalize? or do i need to feed them more. The kit said once a week?

[@jameswhite4303]

Use a regular household light bulb up against the container. The warmth from the bulb will heat the water up just fine. Yes, feed them a little more.

[@SilverlonewolfX]

OKay I am subbing cause of that intro.

[@SomeoneCY]

My right ear enjoyed this video

[@SomeoneCY]

Rip left handsfree :'(

[@Mediaboon]

I read a Caresheet from a biological supplier and they said you can feed them with baker's yeast. Do you think that would work? BTW, thanks for the videos, they are a great help.

[@frankie4257]

Great vid .....no hi tech bull to confuse people ... gonna give em a go ..... thx

[@shadowfern4022]

What other food source can I feed my brine shrimp? Can I feed them yeast like other people say and how can I prepare it for them?

[@royalspin]

Jes Gar Yes you can.I fed mine yeast and they did well .Try both . Spirulina works as well but yeast us much cheaper .I cycled mine and let the water age ,plus used actual sea water .Better results that way as he was saying Also you can keep reusing the water using a siphon method . Lots of good info out there to be had.

[@thuysinhkietartemia]

Can you tell me how to do your yeast ?

[@vonksaqua3482]

good video i like your channel

[@victorbonazi3927]

Hey i got a question that you may say it in the video but i couldn't get it when you add more water to your brine shrimp you do fresh water or salt water i don't have how to measure the salinity on it but one quarter of total water has evaporated

[@thuyasoe3155]

Is it necessary to use an earthen pond for fishing?

[@seselapaz]

What salinity number is the right o e for brine shrimp? Can I use grain sea salt for cooking (natural)

[@HiltTilt]

Would putting some planta in with the brine shrimp help them to thrive? Also this may be a dumb question but will salinity required by the brine shrimp harm an aquatic transplant?

[@fallenleaves7062]

So I can't find the answer to this on google but at what size do freshwater angelfish start to breed?

[@omeljr7590]

Can i hatch it using antibacteria salt? The salt in blue color i think it is mix with methline blue. It is for treating fish. Tq.
