Question:
What do you feed baby fish?
Hatching Baby Brine Shrimp
Hatching baby brine shrimp is best done in a brine shrimp hatcher. As a substitute, an inverted 2 liter soda bottle with the top cut off will work. Use water with a hgh salinity level of 1.4 to 1.6 ppm. Place an airstone in the brine shrimp hatcher. Baby brine shrimp will hatch 24 to 36 hours after being added to the brine solution.
Harvesting Baby Brine Shrimp
Once the brine shrimp has hatched, remove the airstone from the hatcher and place a light source at the bottom of the hatcher. After about 15 minutes, the baby brine shrimp will congregate at the bottom of the hatcher. Drain the hatcher contents through a brine shrimp net. Stop draining once you have collected the freshly hatched baby brine shrimp in the net in order to aviod collecting the egg shells from the baby brine. Drian and clean the hatcher before starting the next batch.
