baby brine shrimp

Hi Dennis

Happy 2012 to you and your family

So for xmas my other half brought me a “brine shrimp hatchery kit”
so ive read the instructions however, am i correct in thinking the brine shrimp are only good for 24 hours?
also, how many of these little critters should i feed to my 5 adults CPD?

im thinking about hatching them and then putting them in freshwater (to wash off salt) before putting them in an ice cube try and freezing, as im guessing a spoonfull of eggs will hatch to many for my small number of fish?

any advise would be massively welcomed

Hi Ollie,

I hatch a gram of brine shrimp eggs daily. That’s around 225,000 baby brine shrimp. With that number of baby brine shrimp, I can feed several hundred fry and adult CPD’s.

I get my eggs and hatching supplies from Brine Shrimp Direct. They have lots of good information on their WEB site…

A very Happy 2012 to you and your family as well!
