The Best Food for Small Fish

Live baby brine shrimp is the best food you can offer growing fry for most species of fish. Their movement triggers the natural hunting instinct in fish and helps fish eat more than dry foods. Virtually all baby fish thrive on baby brine shrimp. A majority of adult community fish — such as tetras, rasboras, danios, apistos, rams, angelfish, livebearers and more — will readily chase down every brine shrimp they can. With baby fish, you can see their pink-orange bellies as they fill up with baby live brine shrimp.

Hatching Eggs is Simple

Hatching the eggs is a simple process of adding 1 tablespoon of salt per liter of water and then adding the brine shrimp eggs. People often start with 1 teaspoon of eggs per liter of water and adjust the amount based on the number of tanks they have. For the best yield, keep temperatures between 75–80°F and harvest at 36 hours. (Hatchery in picture holds 2 liters.)

Legendary Egg Separation

Once you have your brine shrimp hatched, remove your air source and let them settle for 10 minutes. Baby brine shrimp are attracted to light and will move towards it, so we recommend shining a small lamp or flashlight at the bottom of the hatchery to make collection easier.

Little Shrimps for Little Mouthes

Baby brine shrimp is the preferred food used by fish breeders. Its small size means most fish can eat them after hatching as a first food. Community aquariums love this as a treat, and breeders love it for it good baby fish growth. Feeding to adult fish even a couple times per week can encourage better colors and spawning activity.

The Best Brine Shrimp Eggs on the Market

Having a fish room full of various species of fish, it's handy to be able to hatch a live food like the Aquarium Co-Op Brine Shrimp Eggs. My fish go wild for them, and the high yield makes "the juice worth the squeeze". Check out my video on how I hatch them.

Disappointed

I had been getting Aquarium Co-op’s BBS eggs for quite a while and they hatched amazingly. But the last 2 containers I got (the large containers) barely hatched. When I opened the first one, it wasn’t long after I ordered it. The eggs looked different, just slightly stuck together. I’m thinking they got moisture in them. They produced some BBS, but not as much as usual. After using up that container, I opened the next one just recently and it was the same. But this one I’m just throwing away because it’s not even hatching enough to bother with. I did check my heater with a thermometer and switched to a new air pump…that’s wasn’t the issue. It’s the eggs being bad. One container is probably just a fluke, but 2 makes me think I really don’t know if I should order again.

When will you have them in stock

I tried another brand of brine shrimp from another company because you were out of stock and they don't have the same separation as these brine shrimp eggs. When will you have them back in stock since I will now have to stock up on your brine shrimp because they simply are the best.
