Review: Great Product - Hi I have tested this product twice before writing this review. Good eggs with decent hatch rate. This is a 6 gram vial of brine shrimp eggs as described and in the picture, it seems like a small amount but it is definitely a lot. This will feed my 5 tetras and baby bala shark for many months. It only comes with the eggs, you will need a few other things that aren't hard to find. Okay, Lets get started. The directions on the back tells you to use WAY too much brine shrimp eggs at once. Keep in mind if you do not feed the brine shrimp they will die within a couple days so you want to hatch as much as you would use in a day or two. I have done the math and lowered the measurements to 1 cup instead of 1 quart. The way I set up my hatchery is simple. You will need a glass jar. Inside you will put: 1 cup of Tap water or Tank water. (I used dechlorinated water from my fish tank.) 1 pinch of baking soda to buffer the pH of the water.(This will help improve the hatch rate of the eggs.) An air pump WITHOUT an airstone.(Use the end of the tubing and place it at the bottom of the jar.) 1/4 of a teaspoon of eggs. (Doesn't have to be exact, can be a bit more or less you would still get a good amount of brine shrimp) For the salt you will need 1.5 or 1 and a half teaspoon of [NON-IODIZED] kitchen salt, sea salt, or aquarium salt. (I used Non-Iodized Sea salt. These salts will increase hatch rate compared to [IODIZED] table salt). You want to keep the water at 80-85 degrees this will make them hatch faster. You might have to get creative here, You can try and find a way to get your hatchery secured at the very top of the water in your tank so your heater will do the job for you. Before you throw everything in the jar and set up your hatchery, I recommend you take your time by adding a pinch of baking soda to your water and letting it mix for a minute. Then you will add your 1/4 teaspoon of eggs and let the air pump mix the eggs around the jar. [Do not add the salt yet!] Let your eggs mix for atleast an hour before you add salt. Once everything is set up, you can leave it alone for 24 hrs. Once 24hrs is up you will definitely see live brine shrimp and they are ready to be cleaned and fed to your fish. I like to let my jar sit for a couple extra hours as this allows more eggs to hatch. This is the end of my super long review, to those who read it please let me know if it was helpful and have fun. Thanks!
Review: Repopulated my Aqua Dragons tank! - I used these brine shrimp eggs to repopulate my Aqua Dragons tank. This product is so much cheaper and it contains more eggs than you’ll ever need. Both Sea Monkeys and Aqua Dragons are Brine Shrimp or Artemia Salina. I thought all my Aqua Dragons were dead but I kept aerating the water in my tank using the pipette anyway. And I added food once. To my surprise, a couple of weeks later, I noticed a young aqua dragon swimming by himself. These eggs are really very tiny so you only need no more than a level feeding spoon for the SM or AQ tanks. Depending on the temperature of the water, eggs will start hatching sooner the closer it is 78°F. So just be patient and don’t add anymore until at least 4 weeks have passed. It helps to use a magnifying lens to see the newly hatched babies. I mixed in the shrimp eggs with the existing water in my aqua dragons tank and they started hatching immediately. My tank is kept in a room that’s on the cool side most of winter so it took up to 3+ weeks for more eggs to hatch. The room gets quite hot in the Summer. It’s been around 4 weeks since I added these eggs to my tank and I have so many brine shrimp thriving together with their aqua dragon buddy. At least a pair have started mating. They’re all fed aqua Dragon food about once a week. I scatter the powder on the surface of the water only after I’m done aerating for the day. Except for feeding day, I squeeze bubbles out of the pipette to make the settled uneaten food to float in the water. This allows the brine shrimp to feed as they swim. Hold of on feeding if the water remains cloudy and resume when it’s clear again. I also use the plastic pipette to aerate the water at least once daily for about 5 minutes. I use the pipette to gently create bubbles close to the bottom, at the middle & close to the water’s surface. Also using it to stir the water gently to add more oxygen molecules. Store the remaining eggs in the bottle in a cool, dark & dry place away. I hope this review was helpful.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are these the same species as sea monkeys?**
A: No. Sea Monkeys are a man-made hybrid species of brine shrimp known as Artemia NYOS. Although both are species of brine shrimp, the species created to be the Sea-Monkey combined the best traits of several species that provide shelf stability in any environment and allowed them to hatch in record time without aeration.

**Q: How long do the vials last if you don't put them in water? I'm wondering if I buy them in advance for my fish, if they have babies.**
A: I did notice a decrease in hatching quantities over time after opening the little jar. I highly recommend setting up a system with two seperate chambers with airation if you are raising fish. It's difficult to keep them alive for more than a few days, they start to stick together with a goop they naturally make and there is no real source of food for them, they are the food lol. I purchased these for growing triops one of my favorite hobbies.

**Q: Will the salt solution for hatching the eggs kill my snails in the tank?**
A: I don't fully understand your question, are you going to try and raise these in fresh water? if so, then yes it will most likely kill your snails.the easy solution is go to walmart and buy a tank like I did, I bought the same tank others have said to try for ten dollars, pump included and use that. I finally got a few batches to hatch, but they take weeks from start to finish as they are super tiny to begin with. I gave up on hatching and now use the "walmart tank" to buy three portions of brine so I don't have to go a few times a week, good luck!  len

**Q: can they hatch from the water i use in my reef aquarium? Will they survive saltwater?**
A: These are brine shrimp eggs; the species lives in saltwater. That being said, they are normally hatched in water that has not been aged. While water from your aquarium might do the trick, a freshly-mixed batch of saltwater would likely produce a better hatch rate. By the way, the Internet is full of information on hatching brine shrimp; YouTube is a good source (note: Sea Monkeys are brine shrimp).

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pretty standard
*by K***B on August 26, 2022*

I know these aren't the highest grade of brine shrimp in existence as those are reserved for the upper 1% of aquarists. Something I wish I hadn't had to find out. They do seem to have a decent hatch rate. I don't test the water parameters of my hatching set up so I might have a better yield if I did. You really can't beat the price though. I did notice that the glass jar got smaller from the last time I ordered them over a year ago though. I can't say they don't contain the same weight if brine shrimp but I feel slightly deceived. Making the jars smaller and selling for relatively the same price isn't a unique marketing practice by any means and they're are still millions of eggs, I'm sure. It kinda makes judging how long this batch will last me as I based my purchase choice on how long the last two larger jars lasted. I know it's not an exact science but a rough idea helps. Still though, I always appreciate an honest company over the sleight of hand, so to speak. Why not just mark them up in price instead of slipping in smaller jars? After this summer I'm guessing there will be a significant price increase given the current drought situation. I hope everyone understands that this is no fault of the sellers of these eggs as nature is beyond our control.
