San Francisco Bay Brand ASF65031 Brine Shrimp Eggs Vial for Baby Fish and Reef Tanks, 6gm

It has only been a day so I can't yet coment on the hatch rate, but there are already lots of baby brine shrimp. Update: It has just been over a week since I put the eggs into water. There are still more brine shrimp coming. While there were a lot within a day, there were even more over the next week. I'd say that this has a great hatch rate but instead of waiting for all of them to hatch as quite a few died not long after hatching, I'd recomend using something to pick up the swimming babies, like a turkey baster, a suction tank cleaner, or even an eye dropper to suck up the babies and move them to the fry tank. That way there will be room for the ones that have yet to hatch and you'll get more out of it, but that said, the amoung you get will still go a long way.

Not too sure what everyone else did wrong. I have a 1L empty pop bottle with 1L water, 2tbl aquarium salt and 1tsp eggs sitting in a betta tank with water at 82C. Airline with diffuser going in a hole in the pop lid, pump going. Eggs were hatched in less than 12 hours. You seriously don't need any fancy equipment.

I used these brine shrimp eggs to repopulate my Aqua Dragons tank. This product is so much cheaper and it contains more eggs than you’ll ever need. Both Sea Monkeys and Aqua Dragons are Brine Shrimp or Artemia Salina. I thought all my Aqua Dragons were dead but I kept aerating the water in my tank using the pipette anyway. And I added food once. To my surprise, a couple of weeks later, I noticed a young aqua dragon swimming by himself. These eggs are really very tiny so you only need no more than a level feeding spoon for the SM or AQ tanks. Depending on the temperature of the water, eggs will start hatching sooner the closer it is 78°F. So just be patient and don’t add anymore until at least 4 weeks have passed. It helps to use a magnifying lens to see the newly hatched babies. I mixed in the shrimp eggs with the existing water in my aqua dragons tank and they started hatching immediately. My tank is kept in a room that’s on the cool side most of winter so it took up to 3+ weeks for more eggs to hatch. The room gets quite hot in the Summer. It’s been around 4 weeks since I added these eggs to my tank and I have so many brine shrimp thriving together with their aqua dragon buddy. At least a pair have started mating. They’re all fed aqua Dragon food about once a week. I scatter the powder on the surface of the water only after I’m done aerating for the day. Except for feeding day, I squeeze bubbles out of the pipette to make the settled uneaten food to float in the water. This allows the brine shrimp to feed as they swim. Hold of on feeding if the water remains cloudy and resume when it’s clear again. I also use the plastic pipette to aerate the water at least once daily for about 5 minutes. I use the pipette to gently create bubbles close to the bottom, at the middle & close to the water’s surface. Also using it to stir the water gently to add more oxygen molecules. Store the remaining eggs in the bottle in a cool, dark & dry place away. I hope this review was helpful.

using with the hatchery n not a soda bottle type hatchery.. not sure if worth it.. not many hatch from how many is inserted into mixture.. I would think maybe 1/5th?

I didn't have the proper salt, or a controllable heater, so I just winged it, and to my surprise I got an like 60% hatch rate. If done with proper equipment rate would be substantially higher.
