Live baby brine shrimp (BBS) is the #1 fry food used by breeders to grow strong and healthy baby fish. After much testing, we found these high quality BBS eggs with impressive hatch rates and easy harvesting. Get the 10 gram vial or 100 gram can of Brine Shrimp Eggs that comes with a resealable pouch. For hobby-level aquarists, the 100 gram container will last several months when feeding a few aquariums.
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.
Keep Your Eggs Fresh
Our eggs are packed with a triple seal. After scooping out the eggs you need, squeeze the air from the bag before resealing it. Then place in the freezer. The metal can helps keep the bag from getting punctured by another frozen item in the freezer.
Over the years I’ve tried many different brands of brine shrimp eggs and paid top dollar for all. I was never satisfied with the hatch rate until I tried Aquarium Co-op. They are the best on the market as far as I’m concerned! I’ll never use another brand again!

I've tried a couple others - these are the Best
I have tried Brine Shrimp Direct and San Francisco Bay eggs, and after watch the YouTube vid with Dean on brine shrimp hatching and his 75 cans of Aquarium Co-Op eggs - I had to give them a go. And just as Dean said - the Aquarium Co-Op eggs results in the best separation of hatched shrimp and eggs shells, almost no egg shells suspended with shrimp, almost all egg shells floating - unlike the other brands - so very clean BBS feed for my water babies. Thanks Cory and Dean.

Great eggs
I’ve been using the large container from Aquarium co-op for a couple of years now I make 3 to 4 batches per week and have ordered another Up here at least six times they always come in good condition. I always get a good hatch rate and I’m happy to come back every time I get low. I keep the main bulk canister in the freezer And have one of the small green bottles that sit beside my fish tank and just refill it when it’s empty.

Brine Shrimp Eggs
Totally the best product that I ever purchase. Hatching of the eggs was so more than 90% for me. With the hatchery that being sold here was so much more easier to extract the baby brine shrimp.
Thanks to Aquarium Co-Op for having the best products and videos to help use both products.
