Hatching Instructions - Quick Tutorial

Instructions:

1. Prepare a salt water solution in a separate container. This salt water solution should be approximately 25g of salt to 1 litre of water
2. Pour salt water solution into the desired hatching container
3. Add brine shrimp eggs to the salt water solution. The quantity needed will depend on the number of fish being fed
4. Aerate the brine shrimp egg and saltwater solution using an air pump
5. Leave for 24 - 48 hours
6. Harvest freshly hatched brine shrimp

Please Note:

• Brine shrimp are tolerant of a wide range of salinity. Small discrepancies in salt content will not vastly affect results
• Do not use iodised salt. Standard cooking salt is suitable.
• Brine shrimp eggs should be stored below 5 °C. Lower temperatures will maintain the hatch rate of the eggs for longer periods.
• Keep in a sealed container, free from moisture
• There are many different variations on how to hatch baby brine shrimp. Lighting and heat sources can be added to optimise results, but this is generally not necessary.
