- Baby Brine shrimp is as good as gold for us keeping fish and it is easy to hatch it out. It is something that people shouldn't be afraid to get into. Are you afraid of live foods?

I've see a bunch of brine shrimp hatching videos and I think yours was about the best! It was very complete yet simple.. excellent video 👍👍
I’m glad to hear that. I was trying to show how simple it was for someone to get started and that it isn’t this crazy super hard thing to do. Im glad that came through on the video!
Are you currently hatching out bbs?
@@TheAquariumLibrary no I am not , unless endlers count .. LoL 🤣
Nah I don’t think endlers count lol
Nice set up. Hang my hatchery as I got tired of tipping them over haha. I use the same sieves. When i harvest I sit my sieve in a yogurt container. I’m able to open the valve all the way to harvest faster. Gilberti is one of my favorite nano fish. Im jealous. We don’t get them often in my area. (Im just south of aquarium coop).
I’d love to hang mine but I just haven’t found a place to hang it from. I having been playing hot potato with this hatchery as it had moved locations three times in the last 3 months. And about to move it a fourth so who knows where it will end up. Yeah I was very lucky to convince my wife to go on vacation in the area that they are located to collect some. Though being south of aquarium coop isn’t a bad spot to be either.
Hi, you inspire me to try this, I already order my San Francisco Bay Hatchery which I should get in about 10 days (since I am not in the states) and I have a question, I have a school of 18 neon tetras and like 10 Mollies (juveniles and adults) and 4 siamese algae eaters, if I feed them brine shrimp twice a week how long do you think that 10 grams of brine shrimp eggs would last me?
10 grams won’t last long. Maybe a week or two. I don’t measure things out in the grams with my brine shrimp eggs so that’s a rough estimate but I’d think you would use 1 g a day and could do that for 10 days.
@@TheAquariumLibrary Alright thanks I'll take that into consideration.
Pls how i can calculate for only spawn of angelfish how much brine shrimp eggs to make in a 1 litre bottle and also how i can calculate to feed angelfish fry not to foul the water pls?
How do you determine the amount of baby brine shrimp to feed, especially when fry won't be consuming them within one minute or whatever rule of thumb people are recommending? It feels completely arbitrary to me at this point. I'm just crossing my fingers and hoping I'm not overfeeding.
I don't have a set amount that I feed to the same tank nor do I go by any recommendations of 1 minute or anything else. I tend to overfeed BBS and then do water changes the following day or afternoon to remove any of the uneaten ones. Better to slightly overfeed the babies than to slightly underfeed them.
If you wanted to be really accurate for yourself you could measure out volumetrically how much you feed and see how quickly they eat that and then adjust to it being either more or less. I recognize that is a lot of work and I don't do that even, but if you are looking for a better way of measuring that would be a good way. And obviously the amount is going to increase as they get larger and are consuming more.
Color blind and legally blind. I know your pain. I'm hatching brine shrimp and im at a loss
