Brine Shrimp Hatchery Kit with 3 Months of Eggs for Breeding

Jose OliveraJose Olivera: The media could not be loaded.  This kit works as stated. It is so simple, there is no reason for every fish hobbyist to not own one and feed their fish live foods. I was a little skeptical about it because I used to raise brine shrimp in large quantities using the bottle and pump method, I didn't think this was going to work, but it does. It is perfect for small batches and feeding fish in a couple tanks. Go for it!
Edit: Added a video of the brine shrimpnthat hatched so far in less than 24 hours.

Amazon Customer: First time hatching brine shrimp for fish food. Great set up, super easy, and good size yield. This works great. Just set up some heat and follow the directions. I will say try not to over fill the tray. Take a look at reviews on YouTube. Many long time fish people (aquarists) give this a very positive review. I agree. Do a first run and learn from it. Then do the set up that works for you.

Allan Ray: The media could not be loaded.  I’ve literally harvested thousands of these in less than 24 hours with only one scoop of eggs. Just mixed salt water with half teaspoon of baking soda at 79°F room temperature. It’s pricey but I’m very satisfied with the purchase.

Kindle Customer: In the past I've used the bottle method with an air bubbler, drainage lines, strainer for filtering out shrimp from eggs, etc.

This hatchery is fill-and-forget. The design keeps the eggs out of the harvest area and you can just periodically lift out the filter cup to catch your live brine shrimp. I'll use a light to draw them to the center for even more shrimp per harvest.

If you want you can gut-load them with a little phytoplankton in the water before harvesting. Just a couple of drops.

Worth every penny if you're feeding small fish. Might even keep a small jar of brine shrimp to grow out.

MDeVoe: I have been using this quite regularly (about every 1 or 2 weeks) for over a year now. I set it up on a counter where I have a small lamp I leave on all the time. I mix 25 grams of regular table salt (not coarse since that takes much longer to dissolve) with 1 liter of water. When it has dissolved and is at room temp (you don't end up needing the full liter), I put it in the container to the lower line, add a scoop of the shrimp eggs it came with (still going strong) along the outer ring, close it up and within a day I have lots of critters to feed my fish. Last for about 3-4 days each time I use it. After that, I find there are few live brine shrimp and it starts to stink. I dump it out, clean it well with only hot water and paper towels and can start over. It is really easy to set up each time, my fish go crazy for the brine shrimp and is a great addition to a varied diet. It works out to be much cheaper than buying frozen brine shrimp. I initially hesitated because of the cost but it turned out to be a great purchase and much easier than messing with the DIY or other aerated systems that take up so much more space. This is a very compact way of providing fresh brine shrimp for...

Larry: Great brine shrimp hatchery that requires almost no effort to use. If you are breeding fish and have lots of fry, it might be better to have two of these as one might not produce enough brine shrimp in time for the next day’s feedings.

Rob: Was advertised that this came with brine shrimp eggs when it did not!

dennisc95: Successfully hatching a bunch of baby brine shrimp the next day after receiving this product. I think the price is mostly for the design of this product, not the material used.

VK: This is a great item if you have aquariums and fish that like baby brine shrimp or you're raising baby fish. I use one scoop and after a day I have enough healthy snacks for 2 twenty gallon aquariums (I give them a small amount of food as well). We have bettas, dwarf gourami, guppies, mollies, danios, and harlequin rasboras and they all go bananas when we feed them. I feed one tank in the morning and the other at night. I really like that the baby brine shrimp move in the water so the fish can use their natural hunting instincts. It's a fantastic little set up and so much easier than the complicated contraptions I see online. Highly recommended.
