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.
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.

Usually works. Might have a dud batch
My last batch won't hatch hoping the Nexy will

Good stuff!
I absolutely love these eggs. I feel like the hatch rate is more than 90%! But the best thing of all is the separation during harvesting. Maybe I’ll finally break down and buy a ziss Hatcher! I’ll definitely 100% be buying this product again definitely the best eggs I’ve ever used!

Best brine shrimp eggs I have tried. Liquid Gold!
These are the best Brine Shrimp eggs I have tried yet. The hatch rate is unbelievable, especially when compared to others. I have tried other brands and have been disappointed. The only mystery to me is why are they so large? I’m not complaining, but they appear to be larger than other hatchlings from other suppliers. I usually separate the empty egg shells from the hatched shrimp with a two net sieve system. These shrimp do not pass through the first larger net to get caught in the smaller net. They are so large they stay in the first net and nothing passes through. It makes it difficult to determine if there are any egg shells mixed in with the hatchlings, but the hatch rate is so good, I’m pretty certain all of the shells are floating at the top of the incubator. So I don’t know if it even makes any difference.
I will begin freezing the eggs in ice cube trays to make feeding time more efficient. The quantity of the hatch allows me to do this.

I just wish that it was a little bit faster on making the eggs like 24 hours or so but it is a great product and I do like them how they need some but now if I can get a better deal on a had to read another one I would probably buy another hatchery

2nd order of brine shrimp eggs
I am new to hatching brine shrimp. After watching Cory's video on hatching baby brine shrimp I thought I would give it a try. Easy enough, the hatched eggs float to the top so no need to separate them like other brand of eggs, and my fish love the newly hatched baby brine shrimp.

Good hatch rate
I’ve seen a better hatch rate with these eggs than any other I’ve tried. They do seem to hatch a little slower for me (36 hours vs 24 hours I’m used to), but it’s worth it.

review of Aquarium Co-Op Brine Shrimp Eggs
Very high hatch rate. My fry started growing very quickly once I started needed brine shrimp. 👍
