I want to try my hand at hatching brine shrimp and was wondering if anyone local has any for sale. If you know where I can get some please let me know.

I think just about any LFS should have them. Not very expensive and with some aquarium salt you should be good to go

If im not mistaken the salt used in freshwater systems is better for hatching brine that saltwater salt. I could be completley wrong. You may want to go to Jurassic Pets on 104th and Washington and talk with Ron, hes an expert with brine!

Yea you use aquarium salt instead of the salt that we use in our reef tanks. It's not hard at all to hatch brine

I read somewhere that I could just use water change water from my tank to hatch them.

Never tried that. I always use aquarium salt

I have great success hatching my brine shrimp using my reef salt and having my salinity at 1.018

What do you guys use to hatch them in? I was looking at some hatcheries. Or I might just make my own.

 

[aztecdreams]

I use both a hatchery and just a plain jar with an airstone. If you use an airstone make sure it is not up high or you will cause the eggs to stick to the sides

I hatch mine in a little 2.5g tank that I have with a bubbler . I start feeding them phytoplankton 24 hours after hatching and put in a sponge filter

I made a hatchery out of an aquafina bottle, desk lamp, and API Aquarium Salt. Hatched within a day. I didn't decap though, I'd decap if I were to do it again.

Good Luck and keep us posted

I used the Aquarium Salt product instead of the table salt. Never tried the dash of baking soda either.
