Hobby Brine Shrimp Hatchery

[gnatster]

I'd seen videos of this hatchery, but was skeptical about its efficacy. On a whim, and needing to fill out a cart to hit a discount level, I decided to give it a try.

Get one.

Unless you need a substantial amount of baby brine to run a fish room, this little tool works well. A quart of water, 3 tablespoons of salt, and a scoopful of eggs: 16 hours later, I had more than enough to overfeed my fish. The Green Kubotai Rasboras went ape over them. No fuss, no muss, no air pumps whirring away. Includes a little sieve to harvest the baby brine from the center, with no empty egg casings.

Hatchery Dish

This simple-to-use brine shrimp hatchery is ideal for the hobbyist, science fair student, teacher, or aquarist who treats their fish to the occasional live treat. No aeration required. Includes a three month supply of eggs!

I also love having a simple dish hatchery. It feeds my three small tanks just fine over the course of a couple of days of hatching.

I actually designed and 3D printed one at home because I thought the $30 to $40 they're being sold for is kind of steep for a plastic dish. After I spent time modeling, printing, sealing the plastic, and finding a suitable mesh online for the net, I'm sure I saved lots of money

OMG. Brilliant

I'll chime in and say these are absolutely the best type of shrimp hatchery at the hobbyist/infrequent level. I love mine!

Thanks for this! I just ordered the kit. My fish go crazy for occasional frozen brine shrimp or daphnia. I imagine they'll really go nuts over live brine shrimp.
