how to set up a brine shrimp hatchery

i set up a brine shrimp hatchery for my 8 frys that are about to be swimming in the next day or so, so i’ll have bbs for them, ready to eat……..what i used was 2-2 liter bottles….i cut one in half and the other one i cut the bottom off….i put the two pieces together like so in the video, then i added water to it…..about 3/4 of the way and then i added some ph neutralizer(you can also use baking soda, but just a pinch) and about 2-3 tablespoons of salt, cause brine shrimp live in salt water…….i cut of piece of small plastic tube and put it into one end of the airline tube and the other into the air pump…..brine shrimp need oxygen and moving water to live and hatch……i’ll make a video of how to harvest them when they hatch and feed them to my frys :) stay tuned for upddates :)
