Fairy Shrimp – Brine Shrimp – Sea Monkeys

Posts Tagged ‘brine shrimp eggs’

My son wants Sea Monkeys (aka Brine Shrimp eggs). I am not sure how to hatch them (what temperature water, how much water & how much salt to mix together), and what to feed them once they hatch so he can keep them alive. He wants to have some as pets in a tank and the others we will use to feed fish (so we MUST keep these little guys alive). Anyone know how to hatch, feed Sea Monkeys / Brine Shrimp?
I have looked at various toy stores for the sea monkey kit but cannot find one. I was told by all that it is seasonal item only carried in December (for upcoming Crhistmas). Know where to get them year-round?

There’s 79 baby goldfish fry in this 2.5g tank, all in different stages of development (4 spawns in 2 weeks). PS*There’s another batch of 50 egg roes this week uggggh!!!! Too much

I have tried several times to decapsulate my Brine shrimp cysts and when I put them to the hatching container most of them stuck to the upper part of the hatchery. Yielding low hatch result.

I have tried with less cyst,…it still happens. It seems to hatch better w/o decaps.

Any advice please? Thank you.

Is it possible to count out brine shrimp eggs, possibly under a microscope or magifying glass, or are they too small?

I would like to do an experiment testing the hatching rate of brine shrimp eggs in various concentrations of water contaminants. I need to use solutions which can be easily obtained and that are existent in the natural environment. Any ideas?
