when we turn the lights off to our 150gal display tank at the lfs i work at as soon as the lights switch on you can see hundreds of fully grown mysis or brine shrimp im not too sure but we have a whole ecosystem in that 7 year old tank

I have one of those hatcheries, works very well, 24 hours even at 20C / 68F and they keep coming for a couple of days

I’ve always fed the frozen brine to fish as a supplement to other foods. After watching your video will definitely try harvesting and growing live. Great stuff!

Nice job on the brine shrimp grow out. I raise brine also. Ive had a hard time keeping large numbers of them. Everytime I add new bbs to my 10 gallon grow out, most of them die. I have videos of my grow out tank on my channel.

yes ive got the hobby, brine shrimp kit and as u say its so simple, and works a treat ile avago at growing out too. cheers great vid.

Very underrated channel and video! Thank you

SO COOOOL! I'm excited to have my own thanks for the tips!

A nice informative video on bbs. Please keep posting!

I use that as a separator, I had a terrible hatch rate using it. Normally. I use a bottle with an air stone. Then I use this to separate eggs from shrimp. I fill the inner rings with water then add my strained hatched shrimp and eggs to the outer ring. They swim to the middle and you don’t get any shells.

Great informational video bro. Well enjoyed thank you.

Great video! Nicely done

Thank you for this nice video, the bucket you put them to grow in, do you use salt water?

Thanks for sharing. I’ve experimented with this to varying degrees of success on a smaller scale. I was concerned about filtration, from your success possibly needlessly so. I have even purchased algae cultures with hopes of a self sustaining system but the algae never took off. Maybe buying some live sand or a bit of live rock might be useful as I don’t keep marine fish so no cycled salt water. I’m going to give this a try.

So no air stone or any kind of filtration? I am going to try this to feed discus. I've always raised baby brine shrimp for fry using just a incandescent lamp and air stone in a milk jug. I thought an air stone was a must.
