Brine Shrimp Hatchery Dish (Eggs Sold Separately.)

Very easy to use. I did watch a YouTube video to help me. So easy to collect baby brine shrimp.

What a fun little device, clever, works well and here’s what I did. 4 cups of water 5 teaspoons salt under a desk lamp and water temp in the low 70’s. At 30 hours. There was enough to feed the fish a little bit. But then it really starts producingEnough to coat the bottom of the dipper strainer cup pink every hour or so. For 72 hours maybe more it does this.Rinse and repeat.If you have 80 degrees you do get more rapid release/grow/production rate -Total shrimp production- 2 teaspoons? Or soAnd the most important part is the guppies are growing like I gave them steroids. They almost grow in front of your eyes. I have a control group I only give flakes to and then the other group -the brine shrimp fed guppies just PoP in color. Easy, no mess worth the price, which I thought was steep but is really a great deal.You’ll be happy with results and ease of use.

The media could not be loaded. This works really well. Easy to set up and clean. Eggs hatch quickly and all the shrimp congregate in the middle where you can use the dropper to get a few, or lift them all out with mesh strainer.It's a great system. No air needed. No messy clean up. You get the shrimp easily, with no eggshells.

Works well. Easy to use..

This worked so well. Added brine shrimp eggs with plain old table salt and tap water. No heater, no extra equipment. I just put this on a side table next to my fish tank and the next day there were hundreds of little brine shrimp swimming around in the little hole that lets light in. The strainer/scooper is perfect for scooping them out to drop into my tank, and my betta loves eating them. Love this.

Finally wanted to try my hand at baby brine shrimp for my chili rasboras/scarlet badis. This kit is incredibly easy and works as advertised! What I did: prepare 1 quart of water (4 cups), added a drop of dechloronator. Added just under 2 tablespoons of API Aquarium Salt (for freshwater) and stirred well until the salt was dissolved. Assemble the dish as shown in the video, pour water into the dish to the fill line, added a scoop of eggs to outer area. Cover and added a light right above it, which helped heat the water to about 74 degrees (I think they hatch best over 70 degrees). A handful began hatching early, around 18 hours in. A ton more began to hatch around the 24-36 hour range. I had multiple scoops ton feed my tank, if anything I overfed the tank over the next couple of days. Even the Pygmy corys, kuhli loaches, and amano shrimp munched on the ones that ended up the bottom. I am now at the 72 hour mark and still have shrimp hatching. Thinking I’ll gorge the tank and then fast for a day or two while I prep the next batch. The only downside is that I think the inhabitants won’t want to go back to dry foods after this! Very happy with how this worked out.Later edited to add: One issue I found is that I was losing a lot of the baby brine shrimp through the screen, they were just too small and I was ending up with of lot wasted. The solution? Coffee filters! Using part of a coffee filter, I pick up the scoop and let it drain its water right onto a piece of coffee filter above the hole in the dish. Then I place this filter paper into the water to get the BBS off it. Also, I recommend using a pipette to suck up the BBS that get caught under the scoop, and that die around the rings in the bottom. Then drip this pipette onto the coffee filter. Way less waste than before.

Works very well. You probably want a couple of these on rotation. Using this with an incandescent bulb, as the instructions recommend, has worked perfectly for me providing both heat and light. Remember to use non iodized salt ( aquarium or sea salt ) , if youre completely new to this like I was or they wont hatch I'm significant numbers.

What an easy way to hatch shrimp. Great for aquarist who don't need a large quanity. Feeding my fry and others for 2-3 days works perfectly. I bought another so when I need them I can have continous shrimp. When 1 is used up the other is ready. Timing of course has to be right.
