This was one of the most informative videos I have seen. I am wanting to do a brine shrimp tank for feeding my fish and this answered most of my questions. Thank you
I really enjoyed your video. I was successful in brewing up a batch, but then I thought, they needed to be bigger! I had NO IDEA what to feed them and how. Now I got it!!!! Thank you.
Thank you very much Ethan! I am really enjoying making videos and talkin to cool people. I figured I have so much going on that it might make descent content. Really appreciate your kind words.
First video I've seen of yours & I subbed JUST because you played Coheed in the intro... BEST INTRO EVER!! (Coheed & Cambria is my all time fave band, lol) Plus I enjoyed your content!!
Glad you enjoyed it! You should! It's pretty cool having a live snack for the fish. Just fed some to my Angels. They went nuts! Lol Thanks for watching.
Hey Mike...............Your video is great. It hit the main points, and they all work. I am raising angelfish fry, and I need brine shrimp. I want to keep a steady cycle of brine fry coming, but later on i would like to grow some out. I will be doing it in a heated 2.5g tank, and with your pointers, I think i got it! Thanks.
good info man. i never had good hatches but you pointed out some good stuff. . gonna use my reef water and hatch em in the refugium. . I'll keep you posted
You are sooooooooooooooooooooooo right about the Brine Shrimp needing algae to survive. I recently set up a Hatchery and i took some algae from my 55 gallon reef tank and put it in the bucket i am using to raise brine shrimp and i also use Spirulina Powder and i have had AMAZING RESULTS!!!! My hatch rate went from being able to hatch 100 or so to 10,000 with 90% of them staying alive!! Thanks man great video!!!
Thanks for the info Mike. Not a lot of videos on growing brine shrimp to adults. I'm trying a second time but using green water I added the appropriate amount of salt, Epsom salt and a pinch of baking soda (my water is well water) to and did a water change with that. We'll see how it goes. The algae hasn't died so I guess the salt hasn't killed it and hopefully it will help with the cycle. Thanks again!
Thanks for your suggestions. My brine keep dying at 2 weeks. I have not been using heat so I’m going to try 80 degrees. If that doesn’t work I’m going to try water out of the Chesapeake Bay here in Maryland. I think my city water is bad. Maybe bottled water will help
LoL dat intro you look like you'd be one of those tough mean guys but then your 90's style intro comes you start dancing and boom best intro ever just earned yourself a sub:D
Hi Mike, thanks for your tip my brine shrimps are dying due 1010 density but I will raise to 1024 and I will control the water heatering using a termostat to maintain to 80 oF.
Excellent and informative vid. Glad I came across it. I'm experimenting with my first brine shrimp hatch to feed a couple of scarlet badis that I just got. Well done, man.
i literally have no water filter and they are doing fine!! I am feeding them a little amount of yeast and it seems like they are eating because it keeps getting clearer. AND.... they're mating!!!!
I was always thought one of the advantages of brine shrimp was that they were salt water animals. because they are salt water any disease they may have would not get transfered to a freshwater fish. now 25 years ago a saw a documentary about harvesting salt through evaporation on large tracts of desert land. some kind of plant was a problem so brine shrimp were introduced to eat the plant. apparently brine shrimp can tolerate salinity 10 or 20 times that of sea water. I am getting back into fish ...I used to grow brine shrimp...i could get them to adults easily if I had some plants or algae from the ocean with them.
Great vid! Brine shrimp are one of those take it for granted organisms in the fish hobby. They are actually pretty cool little creatures. Look at one under a low power microscope and they are actually kind of freaky. Anyway, thank you for sharing your experience. Subbed.
Great video brother, will definitely give brine shrimp another go. tried them before with not a lot of luck. after this vid I will try again. thanks man.
I think it was the temp and or salinity. mostly I think it was the water temp. I had a light on it but it doesn't get really warm at all. I think if I would have giving it more time I would have had a better turn out.
+JKJeepster33 ya that was my luck. There is another guy on youtube( dont remember his name)but he puts his in a tub outside and they do well in the warmth. Good luck with it. if your find out any extra tricks let me know.
What I understand from Brine Shrimp is that they come from the Great Salt Lake in Utah. They like it salt much more so then normal sea water. The high salt levels actually keeps them alive because the lack of predators in the Salt Lake. I actually bough special Brine Shrimp (Artemia) food from JBL ArtemioFluid. It is made of FytoPlankton. But the most interesting thing is the manual. it says that the hatched shrimp won't be able to feed till after about 3 days.
so I'm doing a pretty basic setup for brine shrimp and I don't like using a filter stone for it so I took some tubing and plugged up the one end and then I poked a bunch of pin holes in the tube it's been working great and I hope it lasts
Interesting video, I didnt know that about brine shrimp at all. I just feed it to my fish and bloodworms too (both are frozen) keep it up mike, look forward to another vid!
I had success with them in just a 2 gallon tank and feeding pinches of crushed brewers yeast tablets. If you were wanting to make a good batch for freezing, I would get a kiddies pool and use that for the warmer month or two in the summer.
I am a little torn about the lighting? I see on some sights that the light needs to be on all the time but other sites say the light does not need to be on at all. I have a heater in there and i keep it at about 80 degrees. I keep the light on about 14 hours a day for the brine shrimp.
This is awesome, just bought some sea monkeys for the kids. Hopefully they don’t all die. I’ll watch a few of your videos, maybe a small fish tank with fish might be better. Hi 👋 from Oz 🇦🇺
Great vid. You show that it's pretty easy with a little know how. Is the any smell from these? I'd like to try it, but the wife has certain conditions. I can try anything, as long as she doesn't have to get a nasty stink for me to do it.
+Fish Behind Glass Thank you! I myself dont notice any smell but if you leave thair stone out it will stink. I just went and shoved my nose in the 5 gal. I cant smell anything. but tread with caution. you might have a better sniffer than me.lol
I feed mine yeast, They get big in 2 weeks. Check your PH should be a 8.1, I use baking soda. and with a light bulb close enough, you keep the water warm. I dont use aerator, i used the Dish setup instead. A tank setup seems difficult to harvest
hi i know this video is a couple years old, but im new to keeping an aquarium. Right now ive got a little brine shrimp/ sea monkey zoo tank and that holds about 2 cups of water. For now, I am keeping brine shrimp as pets (until i know enough about keeping marine fish). I would like to transfer my small brine shrimp tank into a larger one gallon tank. ive got salt water mixed for the large tank, and have checked it with a mechanical hydrometer for a 1.022 specific gravity (chose this number to allow for some variance in my hydrometer reading, and it is right in the middle of 1.018 and your recommended 1.024 s.g. My question is what is the best way to transfer the nauplii (hatchling sea monkeys, not yet adult). into the larger tank? And will waiting for some algae growth in the new tank or waiting for the brine shrimp to reach adulthood increase chances of survival or is it better to transfer while they are still young? Thank you. My next steps are to test water ph and get more accurate electronic meters, but i do not have those yet. Thanks for your time! And thank you for the info in your brine shrimp video!
I am not sure but I would think the lowering of salt levels in the hatchery water is so the fresh water fish eating the brine are not consuming as much salt in the shrimp. Consuming to much salt is hard on the internal organs in all animals. I could be totally wrong here but if the hatchery water is more salty the brine probably have more salt in them.
+josh's aquariums Ya. sorry i didnt think of that. you can downlaod the creator studios you tube app. its free and it lets you see the details of your page.
Hi mike, thanks for your videos. I love all of them. I would like to ask for advice. My Ángels fry are dying. The become like crazy, swimming fast and die. I tried metronidazole, erithromycin , salt, increases temperature but still they are dying. Thanks
Have you try daphnia magna. They have similar nutrition, and they are a lot easier to breed. And they are also freshwater so the can live in your freshwater tank until your fish eat them
Thanks for the tips I live in Michigan and I'm going to try this out and see if it works I want my betta fish to eat good he loves brine shrimp especially when they're alive and the place by my house sells the brine shrimp for $3 for a very small container that you put like sweet and sour sauce in from McDonald's and I don't think that's worth $3.59 for just a few brine shrimp that end up dying the next day
While warm temperatures such as 80F are great for hatching short term, long term high temperatures which are not naturally this high are detrimental to healthy grow out of the Brine Shrimp. One of the most productive Brine Shrimp hatcheries in the world is Mono Lake, which is at over 6000 feet in the Sierras and never comes close to these temperatures. Jungle Labs for many years had its Brine Shrimp facilities on the shore of this lake. Further Reading: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mono_Lake
Isnt the filter not filtering out the food that the artemias need? I never put a filter in my Artemia tanks. best if it gets lot of sun and build a lot of algae
Hey i got a question that you may say it in the video but i couldn't get it when you add more water to your brine shrimp you do fresh water or salt water i don't have how to measure the salinity on it but one quarter of total water has evaporated
We keep our apartment cool so they where supper slow to hatch. We saw a few babies swimming around but then they just stopped. We thought they all died but as soon as we changed what our apartment temp was to warmer i noticed that they where there again. We have a mating pair at the moment and ive been seeing small flickers in the water then boom they are gone. We also had 3 good sized but then now there are two. Do they cannibalize? or do i need to feed them more. The kit said once a week?
Would putting some planta in with the brine shrimp help them to thrive? Also this may be a dumb question but will salinity required by the brine shrimp harm an aquatic transplant?
Maybe you already tried it or someone gave this comment earlier but you also could try fairy shrimp they are relatives of brain shrimp but living in fresh water. They are not hard to get and you can use water from the aquaria that are already in use to create a beneficial ecosystem.
when I take my newly hatched brine shrimp out of the hatchery I have a very high rate of hatching to much for my babies to eat how can I saved them for later in the day or even overnight. If I only take some out how long can I expect the brine to last in the hatchery.
Get a cattle tub get about 10 to 20 gallons in there and dump your bottles from your hatchery in there once you have feed the baby's you'll miss some and the in hatched eggs can still hatch
I read a Caresheet from a biological supplier and they said you can feed them with baker's yeast. Do you think that would work? BTW, thanks for the videos, they are a great help.
This was one of the most informative videos I have seen. I am wanting to do a brine shrimp tank for feeding my fish and this answered most of my questions. Thank you
Really helpful, particularly re what you feed them and keeping the aeration low, which other brine shrimp videos don't talk much about.
Thanks for all the awesome videos; you are the man! I am so appreciative of all your efforts and thx for all the tips.
I think you are an experienced brine shrimper. Thanks for you take on how you do it.
I really enjoyed your video. I was successful in brewing up a batch, but then I thought, they needed to be bigger! I had NO IDEA what to feed them and how. Now I got it!!!! Thank you.
This was the most 90's intro ever 😂

TH-cam doesn't have enough channels like yours keep it up man. You've got a dedicated viewer right here and my sub.
Thank you very much Ethan! I am really enjoying making videos and talkin to cool people. I figured I have so much going on that it might make descent content. Really appreciate your kind words.
Great info, please keep up the updates. This is exactly what I would like to do. Thanks
First video I've seen of yours & I subbed JUST because you played Coheed in the intro... BEST INTRO EVER!! (Coheed & Cambria is my all time fave band, lol) Plus I enjoyed your content!!
Thanks, another great video. Learned a lot about raising brine shrimp. Makes me want to give it a go.
Glad you enjoyed it! You should! It's pretty cool having a live snack for the fish. Just fed some to my Angels. They went nuts! Lol Thanks for watching.
First video I watched all week to actually help me
Hey Mike...............Your video is great. It hit the main points, and they all work. I am raising angelfish fry, and I need brine shrimp. I want to keep a steady cycle of brine fry coming, but later on i would like to grow some out. I will be doing it in a heated 2.5g tank, and with your pointers, I think i got it! Thanks.
Great info and the fish room is looking good I dig the flat black
Thanks Mike. I need to put clear on it. Water is starting to mess it up already. Lol thanks for watching!
good info man. i never had good hatches but you pointed out some good stuff. . gonna use my reef water and hatch em in the refugium. . I'll keep you posted
Sweet! That will be very cool. I'll be watchin!

A message from across the lake excellent video love ya tanks
i literally have no water filter and they are doing fine!! I am feeding them a little amount of yeast and it seems like they are eating because it keeps getting clearer. AND.... they're mating!!!!
Like video ! Merry Christmas !! 🔨🐠🐠🐠
Great job on the video, much appreciated. Hopefully my next try will be successful ;)

Sorry for the late reply. I love having them on hand. Cool little things. Lol thanks for watching and thanks for the sub!
Coheed and Cambria opening music for the win!!!
gaaaaaaay!!!!
Great video brother, will definitely give brine shrimp another go. tried them before with not a lot of luck. after this vid I will try again. thanks man.
Thanks! Do you have any idea what could have given you a hard time?
I think it was the temp and or salinity. mostly I think it was the water temp. I had a light on it but it doesn't get really warm at all. I think if I would have giving it more time I would have had a better turn out.
+JKJeepster33 ya that was my luck. There is another guy on youtube( dont remember his name)but he puts his in a tub outside and they do well in the warmth. Good luck with it. if your find out any extra tricks let me know.

All I needed to know in the 2 videos you posted. thanks!!!
Do you have any other videos on Brine shrimp, especially how your set up? Thanks!! Great Video...
Just got some eggs in the new myaquarium box gonna need to start hatching when my pair decides to lay again. Great video
Sweet! That's pretty cool that came in your box.
Yeah I'm making an unboxing video it will be done soon
great information thanks for sharing keep the videos coming
+Dakota Aquatics Thank you! Will do.
Interesting video, I didnt know that about brine shrimp at all. I just feed it to my fish and bloodworms too (both are frozen)
keep it up mike, look forward to another vid!
+Albert Flores Those are the two frozen foods I use as well. It's pretty neat being able to grab a live snack for them! Thanks! Will do👍
Sweet! I was just wondering how to grow out brine shrimp. Thanks! :D
Cool vid bro, it'd be fascinating to grow brine shrimp out, maybe I'll give it a go sometime
+RyansAquarium You should! It's a cheap experiment. Thanks for watching!
I had success with them in just a 2 gallon tank and feeding pinches of crushed brewers yeast tablets. If you were wanting to make a good batch for freezing, I would get a kiddies pool and use that for the warmer month or two in the summer.

That was really interesting Mike I've never had shrimp but if I do your the man I'm coming to for advice 😍😍
+PsychedelicBabe lol Sweet! Love to help!
Thanks Mike. Lot's of helpful info!

awsome choice of drink

Thank you so much for this informative video! 😃 is it a must to have light on them 24/7? I mean, they won't have that in the wild 🤔
Thanks for the vid bud I love your stuff

Hi mike, thanks for your videos. I love all of them. I would like to ask for advice. My Ángels fry are dying. The become like crazy, swimming fast and die. I tried metronidazole, erithromycin , salt, increases temperature but still they are dying. Thanks
It's all good exept for those numbers you gave about salinity. I don't want to invest in salt water material so, ~ how much spoons of salt / gallon ?
Using higher salinity makes sense to me. Brine shrimp eggs are harvested from the Great Salt Lake which is waaay saltier than the ocean.
wow this guy is the ant canada of fish
Gonna make the eggtumbler too for my petricola and use that chemical aswell. Have you ever heard your angels making sounds?
Have you try daphnia magna. They have similar nutrition, and they are a lot easier to breed. And they are also freshwater so the can live in your freshwater tank until your fish eat them
I like the music at the beginning.
Great video!!
I WAS LIKE... SHIT THAT SOUNDS LIKE COHEED!!!! ROCK ON BROTHER!!!! just got u a subscribe
Thanks for the tips I live in Michigan and I'm going to try this out and see if it works I want my betta fish to eat good he loves brine shrimp especially when they're alive and the place by my house sells the brine shrimp for $3 for a very small container that you put like sweet and sour sauce in from McDonald's and I don't think that's worth $3.59 for just a few brine shrimp that end up dying the next day
Wow nice tank. What are those airpump things! Are they just for air
Teamblubz just a sponge filter. Doesn't remove debris but is a great biological filter.
Did you use a marine salt mix for the tank? I have a good amount of aquarium salt but I’ve been reading that it’s not recommended.
That's exactly what I have to try with brine shrimp. Good to know. I figure it's got spurlina in it so it should work.
subbed for the intro song and the dr pepper!

4:30 is that algae in there from spirulina? would it be possible for spirulina to grow from powdered form?
Question: would Berta fish like such a high protein food like the shrimp.
hello, can i use a blue drum, pool salt for the salt and keep it outdoor???.
Cool Video!!
Do you have a video on how you made the tank Devider for the angel tank on your left?
Isnt the filter not filtering out the food that the artemias need? I never put a filter in my Artemia tanks. best if it gets lot of sun and build a lot of algae
Can you also feed the brine the green algae strips that I use for my sea hare and fox face?
So I can't find the answer to this on google but at what size do freshwater angelfish start to breed?
What salinity number is the right o e for brine shrimp? Can I use grain sea salt for cooking (natural)
Nice video. I culture live phytoplankton which i feed to my artemia brine shrimp. The phytoplankton is microalgae.
Hey i got a question that you may say it in the video but i couldn't get it when you add more water to your brine shrimp you do fresh water or salt water i don't have how to measure the salinity on it but one quarter of total water has evaporated
have you tried raising California Black Worms? Or Asellus aquaticus?
Thank you for video, man
wow that is the best info i have had thanks
I'm glad I could help. Thanks for watching!
i love how the two scalares in the back are saying "hi" to eachother :) what are they actually doing, at 3:35 ?
We keep our apartment cool so they where supper slow to hatch. We saw a few babies swimming around but then they just stopped. We thought they all died but as soon as we changed what our apartment temp was to warmer i noticed that they where there again. We have a mating pair at the moment and ive been seeing small flickers in the water then boom they are gone. We also had 3 good sized but then now there are two. Do they cannibalize? or do i need to feed them more. The kit said once a week?
Use a regular household light bulb up against the container. The warmth from the bulb will heat the water up just fine. Yes, feed them a little more.
Would putting some planta in with the brine shrimp help them to thrive? Also this may be a dumb question but will salinity required by the brine shrimp harm an aquatic transplant?
thx so much for this video I am now more better at hatching them
Video started with a Coheed and Cambria intro. I subscribed isntantly
hey man! I was wondering if it is possible to use actual sea water and ocean algae for this project
Maybe you already tried it or someone gave this comment earlier but you also could try fairy shrimp they are relatives of brain shrimp but living in fresh water. They are not hard to get and you can use water from the aquaria that are already in use to create a beneficial ecosystem.
Brine shrimp usually come from Utah's Salt Lake and are use to higher salinity than saltwater!
when I take my newly hatched brine shrimp out of the hatchery I have a very high rate of hatching to much for my babies to eat how can I saved them for later in the day or even overnight. If I only take some out how long can I expect the brine to last in the hatchery.
Get a cattle tub get about 10 to 20 gallons in there and dump your bottles from your hatchery in there once you have feed the baby's you'll miss some and the in hatched eggs can still hatch
I read a Caresheet from a biological supplier and they said you can feed them with baker's yeast. Do you think that would work? BTW, thanks for the videos, they are a great help.
Damn thats a cool room
