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.
IMO these brine shrimp eggs have a high hatch rate. I love how well packed they and containers are easily recyclable. But, I wish they were sold in larger quantities and the scoops were optional … maybe even branded. Who needs a new scoop each time you buy a tin?

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.

Game changer
I've been an aquarist for over 70 years and used a whole lot of brine shrimp eggs in that time. Learned lots of tricks to deal with unhatched eggs and egg shells getting mixed in with the baby brine shrimp, but enough still remained to be a nuisance. Then I decided to try the ones from Aquarium Co-Op that I'd heard lots of hype about, including from members of my local AKA chapter.
Wow, what a difference! A hatch rate that seemed significantly better than even the supposed 90% from the premium eggs of probably the best known BS eggs company in the hobby and nary a stray eggshell to deal with if you give everything 10 to 15 minutes to settle out and separate. They may cost a little more, but IMHO they're well worth it and I'll never willingly go back to any other brand.

Brine hatch and use
I've been ordering brine eggs for abt 5 months now to feed 100 betta babies. The hatch system is brilliant, easy and has a high hatch rate. I've talked w employees at fishstores in my area and they are amazed that I can get them to hatch. I tell them, Aquarium Co-Op eggs. Over time as the babies have grown, they still look to hunt these baby brine shrimp so I keep hatching w high success. Thank you for the large can size which it perfect for me

Hatching Eggs
Good product. I throw them in a mason jar with salt water and a small air stone and within a couple of days I have BBS ready for my rainbow fry

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.
