How to Hatch Brine Shrimp Eggs the Easiest Way!

hahah the geck at 11:05

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!!

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.

Thank you for showing how easy a setup can be! Will definitely try this way!

Your videos are the best! So glad I’ve discovered them. Thank you! So informative and easy to understand.

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. :face-blue-smiling:

Always learn something new - and entertaining too! Thanks for showing us your setup 🙂

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.

Subscribed! Really enjoying your content mate. Your straight to the point, informative, clearly spoken style of videos are really great.

I love your vids bro. Keep on doing this. Thanks for teaching us!

Great video. I had an old air pump and have a 3D printer. So I just printed an attachment. Done. So much fun.

Great video. U make it simple and affodable. Keep up the great work!

Thank you for the Information. This video actually made it wayyyy easier to understand than other videos thanks a lot 👍

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.

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! 👍

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!

Also FANTASTIC! Thanks, Nick.

Thank you I have to grow some, I really enjoyed this video. You make it look so easy!

You’re cute you’re smart you love fish innovative that right there spells perfection so adorable
