Brine Shrimp Eggs – hatch your own fresh live food. Newly hatched brine shrimp, called nauplii, are perfect for fry and small fish which are a great source of vitamin A and vitamin D for aquarium fish.
425 gm net weight per can. Store under 4°C. Keep cans tightly sealed to prevent moisture from entering.
How to hatch eggs -follow these guidelines for the best results:
Salinity: Approximately 1 1/2 tablespoons of salt per liter of water. This equates to about 1.018 specific gravity as measured with a hydrometer. Aquarium, sea or non-iodized table salt can be used.
pH: Proper pH is important in hatching brine shrimp. A starting pH of 8.0 or higher is recommended. If the pH of your water is below 7, Epson salt or baking soda can be added at the rate of 1/2 teaspoon per litre.
Temperature: Optimum water temperature for a 24-hour complete hatch is 26.5-28°C. Lower temperature will result in a longer hatching time, but do not exceed 30°C.
Light: Illumination can be added to get the best hatching rate, but is not absolutely critical.
Aeration: Constant aeration is necessary to keep cysts in suspension and to provide sufficient oxygen levels for the cysts to hatch. A nice steady stream of aeration that tumbles the eggs without pushing them above the water surface and onto the side of the hatching cone.
Eggs:Â Use 1 gram ( approximately 1/2 level teaspoon) of eggs (cysts) per litre of salt water is recommended. More eggs per litre will result in a lower hatch percentage.
Hatching Cone:Â A flat-bottom hatching vessels should be avoided. Cone or “V” bottomed containers are best to insure that the cysts remain in suspension during hatching. Be sure to thoroughly wash the hatching cone with a light chlorine solution, rinse, and allow to air-dry between uses.
