Brine shrimp eggs are magnetic! You can always try running a magnet through it, it will pick up all the unhatched eggs and leave the shrimp :)

I've been having some troubles with bad hatch rates, I was putting in 2 tbsp of rock salt (equal to 8 tsp) so I tried the exact way you said (4tsp) and today I got an insane hatch rate of about 90%!! for the first time ever my harvest was pure liquid gold with all live shrimp and not mostly egg shells! I also stopped bothering with getting a certain temp and just put the lamp at a certain distance. thank you so much, babies are all well fed and happy now!!

Thank you for showing how easy a setup can be! Will definitely try this way!
You’re cute you’re smart you love fish innovative that right there spells perfection so adorable
Kudos for you approaching things from a "hack" perspective. I see too many aquascaping channels advocating for the 20 different things people need to buy.
Your videos are the best! So glad I’ve discovered them. Thank you! So informative and easy to understand.
Subscribed! Really enjoying your content mate. Your straight to the point, informative, clearly spoken style of videos are really great.
Always learn something new - and entertaining too! Thanks for showing us your setup 🙂
I love your vids bro. Keep on doing this. Thanks for teaching us!
Great video. U make it simple and affodable. Keep up the great work!
I love these "easiest way" videos. I have an infusoria kit started right now from that video and now I know how I'm going to provide brine shrimp too. Time to round up a few more supplies.
Hey, Still here. Amazing video as ALWAYS! Been busy with assignments and the rest of my family has now got covid. also - there was a gecko around 11:12 behind the tank. Great stuff.

Thank you for the Information. This video actually made it wayyyy easier to understand than other videos thanks a lot 👍
Great video. I had an old air pump and have a 3D printer. So I just printed an attachment. Done. So much fun.
Great vid Nick! Gonna try this with my bbs eggs. Had them for a while now and haven't opened them yet lol. Have a good one and love this method! 👍
Thank you I have to grow some, I really enjoyed this video. You make it look so easy!
Also FANTASTIC! Thanks, Nick.
Wow Nick this was video was a God send, i've always Shied away from Brian shrimp hatchery's. but because of this video I'm going to try one. thanks again Nick have a great day!
I LOVE THIS GUYS SIMPLE WAY OF DOING THINGS. I WATCHED ANOTHER GUY THAT TALKED ABOUT HIS WATER BOTTLE FOR 5 MINUTES, AND NEVER GAVE A DIRECT AMOUNT OF WATER TO SALT RATIO. HE GAVE GRANNIES AMOUNTS. SOME OF THIS AND I FOUND THIS SCOOP. SO A SCOOP OF SALT. NOT SURE HOW MUCH WAS IN IT. SO THANK YOU FOR THE INFO. I WISH I HAD STARTED MY FISH FUN A LOT YOUNGER. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.
Thank you so much for the tips! Im gonna try it 😁
You got a gecko behind your Aquarium at 11:15 😂
Fabulous video. Thank you.
AWESOME PRESENTATION
Awesome video nick! Thankyou for a very informative video 🙂. I will definitely try it out mate to feed to my rams.
Great video mr Nick! U a good boy! 🥰🐶

im just about to give this a go, thanks for the info matey. cheers
Dude, just stumbled upon your videos and they are pretty educational! Keep it up, I will try and breed some Melanotaenia Papuae with the tips you give out.
so nice and simple :D thank u
Everyone else over complicated it !! Thank you !!!!!! Now I get it 😂
I bred a whole host of livebearers many years ago and had a similar set-up for hatching baby brine shrimp to the one you've got here. Old plastic bottles with an airstone in the caps, inverted with the bottoms cut off. Not quite as big as the ones you use, though, and I had to find a way of suspending them inside the aquarium in order for the temperature to stay consistent. I did splash out a bit and use eggs that had had their shells dissolved, which meant no eggshells to contend with, but I also used the regular variety. I also used water from the tank to mix with, what was called, 'tonic salt', that my local aquarium shop sold quite cheaply for a bag that lasted me months, that meant the eggs would hatch in 24 hours, guaranteed. I would have 2 set up in order to keep a constant supply. I also experimented with a round, dish-like hatchery but the yield wasn't anywhere near as good. I don't know how many guppies, platies, swordtails, sailfin mollies and others I bred over the years. I'd often take my excess to the local aquarium shops and swap them for food and plants!
Just a few points that might make your harvest that little bit better: 1: Try attaching a tiny air stone, to make the tumbling a little more gentle, whilst still keeping the current, it might boost your hatch rate a little. 2: Shine the torch at the top of the container to attract the harvest to the top, purge a few ml whilst the majority are at the top then, then harvest. you'll be getting rid of the waste and the capsules that you don't need, improving your water quality when you feed to your fry tanks. 3: Try feeding them for an additional day with yeast, they will grow and possibly be more attractive to your larger juvenile fish. :) Thank you for the videos. You are extremely inspirational.
Thank You..
Thank you very much
Leaving a comment to support you Chanel ✌️
You don't need to ask for a subscribe YOU EARNED IT! Thank you for such great info/tutorial!
Great, I just bought a ziss blender hatchery $45 US dollars last week. Ahhh timing is everything thanks nick.
one of my swordtails had about 30 babies last night. Made my own hatchery from an empty grape juice container, hot glue and some airline tubing. Thanks for the video!
Super content, love it! Greeting from Poland
Awesome video. Ty for breaking down how you have yours setup and pointing out you don't need to go out and spend lots of money on fancy a setup to grow brine shrimp cuz for some it can be confusing and overwhelming when it's not. You're truly helping us to "Keep Fishing Simple" 😊👍

Reminds me I need to start hatching brine shrimp again lol
thanks for the help man
@KeepinhFishSimple hey nice video! Just wanted to say if ppl don't want or have the equipment they really don't need the air pump. They will hatch out with just the salt/water/container... if you hatch them at room temperature it may take over 24 hours but they will hatch. And for ppl who only need small amounts it works since you get a continual hatch for a couple days....
Hey Nick love your vids, at the moment i have covid. In bed watching your vids. I also have a fish room in the house, i breed lots of expensive bettas, anyway thanks for your vids
At 11:16 you can see a lizard hiding in your fish room
I feed mine to big fish too. Like healthy appetizers!
Hi great video. One question how do you collect the brine shrimp when you are using a bottle method you talked about. I mean the protein shake bottle.
Hey would you mind sharing the eBay link for those bottle lids please 👍🏼👍🏼

Tip. If you're feeding fry that are hanging on the surface, catch the baby brine in a coffee filter, and put them in fresh water. This keeps them from dropping straight to the bottom of the tank when you squirt them in.
Great video, thanks. Would you have a link to the screw cap with the two ports please?

Great video! I'm still figuring out the best system for my tiny fish room but so far I've had pretty good hatch rates on the baby brine shrimp. One question for you though what air pump are you using that's able to run that amount of tanks?
@AndrewFishman

Use of a high volume air blower, 15 mm pipes and outlets off these with regulator valves make it possible to run huge numbers of appliances from a single blower. If you find pressure dropping or hard to regulate near the end of the system, add another blower to the other end and you will never run short of air again.
Nice. What do you use on the end of your main airline system to avoid over pressure?
hey mate love the videos just wondering if in the future youd be able to make a video on all those additives you can see around 8:00 like the melafix and seachem replenish, just wondering what you use them for etc. Thanks for all the tips!

Try guppies , shrimp and bristlenose pleco’s. But... if you want to breed something in a large scale and want to make some money (do a spieces only tank) maybe you can try growing plants with fish 😁👍
Great video mate. Have you got a link to the bottle caps you bought online? I cant seem to find them. Or what they are called as I may be searching in the wrong way.
you can use a neodim magnet for separate shells from brineshrimps

I have super soft (1 GH, 0 KH) tap water and found that salt alone was giving poor hatch rates, or rather the bbs would hatch and then die. I started adding 1/8 tsp baking soda per liter to bring up the pH/KH and started getting great bbs survival!
wow
Great video, i would be a little concerned about saying table salt, because of the iodine, but other than that i learned a bunch.
G'Day Nick, what ML size pipettes do you use?
Thanks for sharing, I only have 4 tanks. Will the brine shrimp eggs last for a year in the fridge? Your system looks pretty easy for beginners like me. Can they be raised in cold water or should it be room temperature?
I’ve been working on the same type of brine system for a year now. I switched to a 1/4” drainage valve because It was taking 5 minutes drain the brine through the 1/8” tubing. I am also using an air stone through the top. Less air, more turbulence.

Hi there. I'm watching from the Netherlands and we breed some fish to with brine shrimp But, i must give a little warning. We have here salt with iodine and that doesnt work to well with hatching brine shrimps. Look for sea salt without iodine 😉👍

What do you do with brine shrimp that wont get fed in the course of 2 days? Do you freeze them?
Just what I needed to see. I bought the San Fransisco kit but was wondering about how meticulous you need to be. Guys at my local aquarium club were saying what you did- just salt and water- no big deal- good to know!!!
Nice job - I just ordered a hatchery from amazon - could you do a product review on different systems?

very informative video, I'm a little concern about put salt water with brine shrimp direct inside the tank as I use some nano 20-30L tanks all with a lot of cherry shrimp, they seems friendly live together with some baby fish, but I'm afraid that if I put salt water brine shrimp everyday into my nano tanks, the fresh water probably gonna to change to light salt water, is salt safe for cherry shrimps?
Just a quick question. After hatching, how long do they live?
Would you comment on the effect of the salt, in the brine shrimp egg hatching, and how it relates to the health, or possible death, of the fry?
@dimitrijekrstic7567

It doesn't. Fish don't mind a bit of salt, it's even used as a cure with certain conditions.
Do you HAVE to cut the top off? Could you just puncture a small hole to release the pressure / allow suction out the bottom?
Do you have a link where to buy the eggs no shops near me have them
It's my first time. I'm using a top fin 5gal betta tank with an air stone. Will this work?
Another great video lesson. Please share the name of the background music.
So you don't need to use a heater and iodized salt works?
How do you keep it warm though? Mines in tge basement and without element its around 21 degrees
