    thank you. Thank you. THANK YOU. THANK YOU THANK YOU.... :) You saved me about 2 weeks ago when my bettas fry hatched. Was frustrated to find the foods for them to eat. But now after 2 weeks feeding on baby brine, they are now almost 10x the size when they first born.

    Great video...I use the bottom of the bottle (that you just cut off) and place that inside the open top side of the hatchery so the bubbles over spray does not end up on your table and lamp. This also helps to keep the water warm as your hatchery now has a cover. The point on your lid should face down so any condensation will drip back into the hatchery.

    Thank you. This method is extremely easy to follow and thanks so much for an average on how many eggs you get in a gram. I don't need to use the whole 1/2 teaspoon, because I don't have that many betta fry lol. An 1/8 works pretty well for them for a few days.

  • @NWO4LifeEr
    @NWO4LifeEr 12 лет назад

    This is awesome and so easy to do and cost 1/100th of that frozen stuff.
    I have FreshWater Cichlids so if i use the straw to harvest i empty it into a very fine mesh strainer over the sink & can rinse with few DROPS of freshwater.
    (it's a Tea strainer think i paid $2 for it at Wal-Mart or K-mart)
    it also works for those who buy the frozen shrimp or blood worms.
    You add to strainer, pour warm water to thaw N RINSE so that nasty cloudy water goes nowhere near ur Tank. rinse strainer /reuse

  • @saltlakebrineshrimp
    @saltlakebrineshrimp  14 лет назад

    @abc0sprach To separate the bbs from the shell you just remove the air...the brine shrimp will sink to the bottom and the shell will float to the top. However if you have a low grade and a poor hatch-out batch of brine shrimp eggs the unhatched cysts will sink with the bbs to the bottom and it is impossible to separate...that is why I recommend the higher hatch rates 80% or above. Usually the higher hatch rate, the better separation. Great question!!

  • @saltlakebrineshrimp

    @tsenaku. Brine shrimp are filter feeders. I recommend Spirulina Powder (it is a blue-green algea.) If you don' t have Spirulina Powder try bakers yeast.

  • @saltlakebrineshrimp
    @saltlakebrineshrimp  14 лет назад +1

    @BettaKingdom23: Of course it depends on how much you need and the hatching percentage. The higher hatching percentage the higher the price. For example a 16 oz or one pound can of 90% will set you back around $35.00. Hope this helps.

  • @saltlakebrineshrimp
    @saltlakebrineshrimp  14 лет назад

    @the55gal Good question. The companies that process and package the brine shrimp eggs are inspected by the USDA and are required to disinfect the egg. Therefore the egg is usually very clean if it is of the Great Salt Lake origin. The only contaminates or bacteria would be from one’s own hatching process...or foreign egg.

  • @trueblu8
    @trueblu8 12 лет назад

    Awesome video! Thanks for showing us the trick with the straw. That was very cool. I have a question though. Is the air pump absolutely necessary? Could we just blow bubbles through the straw to aerate it the water?

  • @imURtpie
    @imURtpie 12 лет назад

    thank you. your video is very helpful. i just started culturing brine shrimps this afternoon(Philippines time) but my mistake is i didn't have any aeration since i didn't have an extra pump.. will the eggs still hatch if i just leave them there and add oxygen the next day? (its midnight now and i'll buy a pump any other stuff tomorrow)

  • @saltlakebrineshrimp
    @saltlakebrineshrimp  15 лет назад

    I have found that "ready made brine shrimp solution packs" you find at local pet stores or even online may have been on the shelf for several months to years. While this may not entirely be the reason for poor hatch-out, all harvesting companies on the GSL use refrigerated storage (38F), and usually ship there product in refrigerated containers. Also many companies using the "ready made" packs use a lower hatching egg. I hope this helps. Good luck!

  • @saltlakebrineshrimp
    @saltlakebrineshrimp  14 лет назад

    @tsenaku Air is essential for hatching brine shrimp. The air will keep them suspended in the water column...other wise the eggs will sink to the bottom and basically die because of the density of the egg at the bottom.

  • @saltlakebrineshrimp
    @saltlakebrineshrimp  15 лет назад

    It's best to feed the freshly hatched brine shrimp 24-36 hours after harvest. Growing brine shrimp to adulthood is very difficult as they will die in the hatching cone. You would need at least two large tanks, and then transfer the brine shrimp into the other salt water tank once a week...clean the tank they were just in...make a new saline solution and continue with the transfer once a week, feeding spirulina powder or bakers yeast. It is possible, but very time consuming. Hope this helps.

  • @saltlakebrineshrimp
    @saltlakebrineshrimp  14 лет назад

    @wildrupp: Brine shrimp will only last a couple days in the hatching container. I recommend only hatching what you will use in a 1 or 2 days. The best thing to do is run two hatcheries on alternating days. Or you can freeze in ice cube trays and feed to your fish (only the brine shrimp will be dead but carry the same nutritional value).

  • @saltlakebrineshrimp
    @saltlakebrineshrimp  15 лет назад +1

    Thanks for your question. Brine shrimp will survive for several hours in fresh water. You will only want to feed as much brine shrimp as your fish will consume in 3-4 minutes...How often to feed them would depend on type of fish and if there is an artifical feed (how much) you are supplementing the brine shrimp with. I hope this helps.

  • @saltlakebrineshrimp
    @saltlakebrineshrimp  14 лет назад

    @pusapoiss Thanks for the suggestion. BBS will only survive 3-4 days without food...during these 3-4 days they are living off their yolk reserves. That is why BBS are better to use as feed immediately versus adulthood. Adult brine shrimp typically will reach 10mm in about 2 weeks.

  • @saltlakebrineshrimp
    @saltlakebrineshrimp  14 лет назад

    @TToucanSSam: Thanks for your question. I have never fed brine shrimp to betta...however a good rule of thumb (if you try) is to feed them only what they will eat in 3-5 minutes. Otherwise it will pollute the tank and you will need to clean the water.

  • @saltlakebrineshrimp
    @saltlakebrineshrimp  14 лет назад

    @znull0: BBS will last about 2-3 days in bottles. I would give them a little aeration and cooler temperatures. As for feeding your fish, I use the rule to feed what they will consume in a 3-5 minute period.

  • @saltlakebrineshrimp
    @saltlakebrineshrimp  13 лет назад

    @walsallcrew You use a norrow bottom because as the air moves the brine shrimp eggs you do not want any "corners" where some cysts may not get moved from the aeration.

    @rickey698 3 года назад

    Wow! I’m watching this in 2021!

  • @saltlakebrineshrimp
    @saltlakebrineshrimp  14 лет назад

    @mrblaster55: You will want to hatch the brine shrimp before introducing them into you tank....the cysts could potentially lodge in the digestive track of your fish and kill them. Also you are able to control various hatching factors in a cone (with air, light, temp, etc). Hope this helps.

  • @trueblu8
    @trueblu8 12 лет назад

    @Micmager Yeah I get it. It has to be constantly aerated. But have you seen those brine shrimp hatchery dishes where it has a little cup in the middle to collect the brine shrimp and no aeration is required?

  • @saltlakebrineshrimp
    @saltlakebrineshrimp  14 лет назад

    @DRsegueta: You wil want to turn the air down to low. Brine shrimp will only last a couple days in the hatching container. I recommend only hatching what you will use in a 1 or 2 days. The best thing to do is run two hatcheries on alternating days.

    @carolbunker4819 10 лет назад

    I am thinking of doing this! You made it look very easy, my question is how long do those brine shrimp live in that bottle? I am only doing this for a small 4 gallon Pico with dwarf sea horses. I do however have a 35 with other fish. Can I just pour them in that tank as well?

  • @saltlakebrineshrimp
    @saltlakebrineshrimp  14 лет назад

    @bobylee20 Nauplii or freshly hatched baby brine shrimp are usually only sold as a frozen feed. You usually need to hatch the brine shrimp egg to get your own Nauplii. Some of the best places for brine shrimp are online...just "google it."

  • @saltlakebrineshrimp
    @saltlakebrineshrimp  14 лет назад +3

    @tobymvpstar10: My favorite place is online auction sites like ebay or aquabid. Just look for brine shrimp harvested from the Great Salt Lake in Utah.

  • @saltlakebrineshrimp
    @saltlakebrineshrimp  15 лет назад

    You can feed the brine shrimp spirulina powder and/or bakers yeast. You will need to change their water once a week and decrease the stocking density by giving the brine shrimp a much large tank to thrive in.

  • @leeadams9794
    @leeadams9794 12 лет назад

    appreciate the video, thanks a mil.......
    so what happens after you harvest them?
    can you grow them up into adults and create your own freshly produced eggs or is it not possible?
    it would certainly save me in the long run , if anyone knew?
    apart from that again great vid

    Hi nice video, I wanted to know how long will this culture last. Im assuming the brine shrimp will keep on growing to a certain size. Do you feed them anything to keep them alive ? I usually buy the frozen brine shrimp which are packed in the cube trays to feed my saltwater fishtank. Are they the same thing ? Also i wanted to know where i can get the eggs. Thanks again for posting a nice video.

  • @saltlakebrineshrimp
    @saltlakebrineshrimp  14 лет назад

    @bigfish324 This is a good question...baking soda is purely sodium bicarbonate (which is what you want). However baking powder has baking soda in it, but it also includes an acidifying agent, and also a drying agent. I am not sure how these will act in the water column. I think I would play it safe and only use baking soda. Hope this helps.

  • @saltlakebrineshrimp
    @saltlakebrineshrimp  14 лет назад

    @AesirSovann Brine shrimp will need some air...and for sure a larger tank as the stocking density in the hatching container is too small and will kill the artemia. Food...I recommend Spirulina Powder and Torula Yeast. Light is needed as well, but regular day light would be fine...just don't put them in a dark closet for days at a time.

    @rebelporro To harvest the brine shrimp yes, turn off your air pump and they will all sink to the bottom...however they will die within hours withour air as they are all packed into the bottome of the hatching cone.

  • @saltlakebrineshrimp
    @saltlakebrineshrimp  14 лет назад

    @the55gal If you are not a lab trying to determing the exact hatch-out of the brine shrimp pretty much any light will work. The recommendation is 2000 lux.

  • @saltlakebrineshrimp
    @saltlakebrineshrimp  14 лет назад

    @Warthog1976 An air stone would work fine. You just want to make sure there is no place in the hatching container where the brine shrimp eggs are not being moved by the air supply.

  • @saltlakebrineshrimp
    @saltlakebrineshrimp  14 лет назад +1

    @taithien602: I have never feed them to newly hatch bettas...however I think it would be a perfect feed for them. Good Luck.

  • @ElegantUnicorn
    @ElegantUnicorn 13 лет назад

    Okay, I favorited this video, because it's extremely explanatory, however I still have some questions:
    1: What PSI should the pump be? would 8-12 be okay? (if not I have another one that's weaker)
    2: Where can I get the eggs?
    3: should I use a heat lamp, or would a regular desk lamp work (What one is healthier?)
    I'm planning on breeding my Betta, so I want to make sure that the food is healthy to keep the fry healthy

  • @abc0sprach
    @abc0sprach 14 лет назад

    great tutuorial, but how do u actually separate the shell from the brine shrimp itself?

  • @saltlakebrineshrimp
    @saltlakebrineshrimp  15 лет назад

    You can definitely reuse the bottlesjust clean them out. You will only want to feed your dwarf seahorses as much brine shrimp as they consume in 3-5 minutes. As for feeding 2 times a day...the brine shrimp will stay alive in the hatching container for the 2 feedings, just keep the aeration going. If you dont want to have several hatching containers, try to decap and then hatch. The brine shrimp will burst the embryo quicker (depending on the egg) and shorten your 24 wait time.

  • @supext
    @supext 9 лет назад

    you can buy brine shrimp eggs on ebay, people and keep your brine shrimp alive longer so it can grow bigger to feed adult fish. Day old you feed to your fry. Great video dude.

  • @littlebearA19
    @littlebearA19 13 лет назад

    @choj5508 brine shrimp only survive for about 24 hours (1 day). Any longer than that and they'll die naturally, so I suggest only hatching as many as you need for one feeding session.
    @KengThor14 no you don't NEED baking soda; that's just to make your shrimp hatch faster.

  • @saltlakebrineshrimp
    @saltlakebrineshrimp  13 лет назад

    @MrBostonJoey I agree 100%...freshly hatched brine shrimp beat adult brine shrimp for feed hands down. I have tried to tell people that, but they still want to grow them to adulthood!??!?! Thanks for the comment.

    Usually the salt water is very minimal and is okay to feed in a fresh water tank. However you may use a permanent coffee filter and rinse the brine shrimp with fresh water then feed directly to your fish. Hope this helps.

    I try to let my BBS last for a day, during that day I feed my betta fry 3 times. Should I turn the aerator back on during the times when I am not harvesting BBS or do I leave the aerator off after my harvest of 18 hours of aeration? I want to know what's best so I can keep a steady supply of food for my Bettas. I do have an alternate hatchery running as well.

      It keeps the air at the bottom, which in turns circulates the water and eggs. In a jar you will have “dead spots”.

    @saltlakebrineshrimp  14 лет назад
