Have you tried hatching baby brine shrimp before? If not, has this video helped you realize how easy it is? Here are the supplies that I used to make baby brine shrimp. If you are on a budget, you can make your own hatchery, but I do recommend getting these high quality brine shrimp eggs.

When I hatch brine shrimps, I just use a bottle, tapwater, tablesalt and a airpump. No light or heat ... just same heat as in the room. Works fine :)

when I was a kid (many moons ago) my grandfather raised Angelfish and sold them to a local fish shop...I still remember seeing his brine shrimp rolling around in the water in his hatchery...one of the best live foods for fry.

Hatching brine shrimp is the easy part lol.Can you do a video on growing them out to adult size please.

Thank you for the de-chlorinator tip. St. Louis uses chloramine in our water treatment, so mentioning this step is appreciated.

The fact that every KZreadr using these hatcheries is wall mounting them and not using the stand..... Says a lot.

Horizontal space is for tanks not stuff like this wall mount is normally the only option that make sense

This by far has been the easiest video to understand. This coming from someone who can make things a little more work then they probably should be at times when I haven’t done them before. Thank you.

Thanks editor Matt!

Best educational video on how to hatch brine shrimp! Thanks Zenzo!

I hatch baby brine everyday and add the marine salt water into my freshwater planted tanks. The minerals have really helped the plants and I don't need to dose any micro fertilizers. I have a few tanks that don't get baby brine but I still add some of the sieved salt water as fertiliser.

👍🏻👍🏻 Thanks Matt!

Excellent video! Thank you!

Great video Zenzo thanks for the great info. Have a great weekend

Yeah, thanks Matt! I came to KZread to learn exactly this LOL And of course, a huge thank you to you Tazawa for making the video and giving us all this info!

This is so informative!!! Fantastic; I enjoy this kind of content!🌻🌼🐝

Love your vids

Thanks

Yay for Matt

❤ i might try again

Thank you for the very helpfull video! I was wondering why you should not use regular kitchen salt? I use deïonised kitchen salt every time and don't notice anything bad, it is cheaper as well. Is there a risk in using this salt?

Great informative video, thanks. Where did you get the light I want one 😊?

Is it one 1tsp of eggs to 1liter of water or to 2 litres.?

If using a heater, what is the optimum temperature for hatching?

I’m really liking Matt’s editing style, he does a great job! Also, I’ve got chloramines here in the East Bay and never thought to use some dechlorinator so I’ll give that a try. Thanks for the tip!

😊 very kind of you to say. Thank you! And thanks for watching!

could I hatch and keep the live brine in a separate tank or would they just die

How long do the baby brine stay alive once added to a freshwater tank? Also, how often can you feed them to your fish?

I only have two tanks that I feed baby brine shrimp to Chilli Rasbora and Clown killi fish every thing else is bristle nose but always looking for tips.

What do you feed your newly hatched ones??should i feed them b4 i put them in the fridge??

Good info Question (s) : Why do many people talk about keeping the water at 80ish degrees ?? And also .... once they hatch, is there any way to keep some of them alive in a dedicated tank ? (What do they feed on)

Im looking to hatch bbs to feed my betta. Does anyone know how long the bbs will live in a betta tank?

How many days can you feed from this? Even with an air stone I notice a smell after about 50hours.

I have well-water and I was told to leave it sit for 24 hours to help clear away anything in the water some before adding the Brine Shrimp.. I hope well-water is okay.. 😕

How much brine shrimp do you recommend for a tank with about 25 Cardinal Tetras, 25 Cherry Bars, 10 Cory cats, 3 Oto's, and a shit load of shrimp. Not sure how much to make my first go around.

I use Kosher salt from the supermarket. It’s much cheaper and works just fine. You can use any salt as long as it’s not iodized.

I’ve been waffling back and forth on getting a hatchery. I’ll probably get one when I’ve got more of my “fishroom” organized and cleaned up.

So keep the eggs in the fridge or freezer?? I've heard both and know you said fridge but I just want to be sure. Thank for sharing a step by step on this. I'm still super new to hatching brine shrimp. Also I have a tiny hatchery it's only 8oz of water so how much of the salt/eggs would I use? Thanks again.

Storage in the freezer will increase their shelf life and maintain the highest possible hatch rates. I keep the bulk bag and tin in the freezer with a smaller portion in a separate container in the refrigerator for regular access. Do whichever is easiest for you. The typical recommendation is 1 Tablespoon of marine or brine shrimp salt per liter of water. This breaks down to just under 3/4 teaspoon per 8 fluid ounces; using 3/4 teaspoon will be fine. You may find it easier to simply wash out an old 1 or 2-liter bottle and pre-mix at the rate of 1 Tablespoon salt/liter and store it with your setup. Then you would have four-to-eight batches of pre-mixed saline to use in your 8 oz. hatchery setup. The dry eggs are usually added at a maximum rate of 1/2 (0.5) Tablespoon per liter, which is 1.5 teaspoons per liter. (Zenzo just measured out approximately 1.5 teaspoons into 2 liters, well below the maximum rate). Using more reduces hatch rates and wastes eggs. So, 1.5 teaspoons per liter breaks down to approx. 0.35 teaspoons per 8 oz. of saline. Using 1/4 (0.25) teaspoon per 8 oz. saline will likely be easier to measure and give you a margin of safety against overcrowding your hatchery, especially if it is unaerated like the HOBBY hatchery, which holds approximately 8oz.

I also live in an area that uses Chloramine. Do you happen to know the concentration in your area? Our water averages 3 ppm. Would you consider that high? Not currently keeping fish, so just curious if I may run into similar issues.

I’m not sure how high, but I do know that it will kill fish within minutes. It’s risky for me to even refill a tank and add dechlorinator at the end. I always add some while refilling to avoid fish loss.

Fair enough. Don't need a number if you know for sure it's deadly. Thanks!

One "step" you missed which I learned from unhappy experience: after cleaning the hatchery to reset, REMEMBER TO CLOSE THE VALVE before adding salt and water. I know it should be common sense, but I'm uncommonly senseless 😄

So the brine shrimp are only good for one feeding? How long can you keep them in the hatchery?

@kernalbert4939

Жыл бұрын

"Best" meaning most nutritious for one feeding, but brine shrimps are still good food for three days after hatching.

I hatch baby brine but it’s more than I can feed in a day in my fish room….. other than freezing I can I keep them to feed my fish for the next couple days? Fridge?

@TazawaTanks

Have you tried feeding them twice per day, about 4-5 hours apart? You'd be able to do that from the same batch. That's what I tend to do. Or, I will feed partial in the late afternoon, and partial the next morning. The only other thing would be to freeze them.

What if you don't have alot of ranks, can you do smaller batches?

8:24 unfortunately the city water is treated to kill everything. And as a result is good for nothing but cleaning. 😅

Mine is leaking right out of the box. Has anyone else experienced this? The honest reviews fault it, but nobody mention leaking

I didn't like this hatchery at all. Not even using it anymore.

Hatching rate is really low. 👎👎👎
