Master breeder Dean has been hatching baby brine shrimp (BBS) for more than 60 years because it's the BEST food for growing strong and healthy baby fish. Every day he hatches 1 Tbsp of Aquarium Co-Op brine shrimp eggs in a 2 liter Ziss brine shrimp hatchery with 2 Tbsp of Easy Brine Shrimp Salt. The temperature is 78°F, and he harvests them after 36 hours. With two hatcheries running at a time, he's able to feed the fish some BBS and fish food twice a day, but if you're not breeding tons of fish like he is, he recommends hatching them out 2 times a week.

Hey Cory, do you have a link for the sieve? Thank you
Can you ship to Australia ?
Thar was a syphon...
@@oscarolie5743 I'm talkinga bout the sieve he uses around the 11 min mark.
Awesome video!!! Dean has so much information to share! Oh wait, I'm Dean. . . this was another fun one to make with Cory. And that Pro Tip at 23:04 you don't want to miss it.
Glad to see dean back on the channel it’s been a while
Dean and Cory together is such a great combo!
It’s weird You get to know people through videos like this for years and start to feel like their family but they have no clue who you are💀
You should sell the sieve and the 4 cup measuring cup to fit the sieve.
This sold me a hatchery, salt, and eggs. Man you guys are good! 😂
Thank you for this video. It inspired me to get a brine shrimp hatchery for my guppies and guppy fry. It has been a game changer! Thank you!
"You're just a madman who feeds Brine Shrimp twice a day...every day.." LOL
Why?
Great video you two. The 36 hours time limit helped me improve my brine shrimp harvest with eggs bought from Aquarium Coop.
Funny... I've been hatching brine shrimp for years and just bought the Ziss from ya'll. I had a 2 1litre DIY system going, and had great results. This system cuts my labor in half, easily. Funny I ran across this video after I bought it. Like Big Brother is really watching.
I wish dean had a channel.. the videos he is in are always my favorite
Best video on Hatch Brine Shrimp I add this video to my playlist. Thanks to you both.
Always love hearing all the little details in these videos, have helped me hatch good hatches over the years. Thanks Dean and Cory
Cooking with Deano! 😂
Great time to be in Dean's Fish Room, and all the extra nuggets that are going to have helped a lot of people who are just starting the hobby and people who want to be better @ breeding and thank you Cory ❕❕❕❕
I got a ziss hatcher about a year ago from you all but never really felt confident about trying to hatch the shrimp myself since I wasn't sure if my room temp would be too low for them. When you all had your sale of eggs, and with seeing this video, I decided to give it a shot finally, and have been obsessed with hatching them ever since! Apparently room temp around 70 to 72 degrees is plenty warm if you go 36 hours like Dean suggests.
I love watching my nano fish go bananas for them - especially my white clouds who are picky and really only like to eat from mid-water, and my chili rasboras who show much more of their predatory behavior when attacking the bbs. I'm hoping to set up a brine shrimp hatching station like Dean here so I can keep easily feeding brine shrimp at least a few times a week!
Thought about trying the easy lift on my fluval hatchery… of course Dean’s already done it!
I have tried almost every brand of brine shrimp in the world, i can confirm the aquarium-coop brand is the best there is, and I exclusively use them now.
The Ziss hatchery is not the best however. I retired mine. I use JBL hatchery or just an inverted water bottle.
I could listen to this men giving away his knowledge for ages it’s just delightful 🙌🏻 we love u Dean!
much
Incredible Everytime I see this room I'm in awe such a great system
I used to feed with a baster, now I feed with a condiment bottle. From two hands to one, and super easy to meter how much each tank gets!
Appreciate the helpful info from both of you. I haven’t been having a lot of luck hatching bb but this definitely gives me a different way of looking and doing it.
always appreciate a decent brine shrimp video.
Best video for all fish breeders community... Thanks a lot...
got those Ziss Brine Shrimp hatchery from you like 2 weeks ago, it such a time saver and easy to clean when it come to hatch brine shrimp.
The container with the spray is referred to as a safety wash bottle, but are also referred to just as a wash bottle or spray bottle in the laboratory. They are invaluable in laboratory work. I have worked in and out of analytical wet chemistry laboratories for about 35 years so I would know ha ha. The water version is usually blue, methanol green and acetone red. These three are the common ones methanol and acetone used as a cleaning solvent for most chemicals that are not water soluble or to dry glassware. The acetone would need to be used under a hood though, methanol not so much.
Great video. One thing not mentioned is that you can feed BBS to many, many adult fish as well. Tetras and Rasboras and Barbs love them and get all the benefits, too!
Where can I purchase that sieve Dean is using please
The sieve has been altered with a cabinet handle attached with flathead stainless steel screws, however you can purchase the 120 micron sieve itself on Amazon here: a.co/d/0MOvzsL
@nirvanaquatics Thanks for the Link!!!
Good timing. I just ordered some eggs from you the other day and should be getting them tomorrow I think. First time for me. If it goes well, I'll consider upgrading to the fancy schmancy Ziss thingy. I just have some Badis I want to feed. I'm not breeding anything but I always wanted to give me various fish some live food once in awhile.
Great tutorial and tips for hatching baby brine shrimp.
this video is serendipitous. My grandson and I are attempting to hatch brine shrimp eggs. We started yesterday, so now we’re just waiting. I would love to get the Ziss😊
Great Video!!!
Great educational video as always, nobody does it better
Great video!
Great informative video...
Damn I’ve missed these vids such solid advice
Love videos like this
Some good videos on TH-cam on brine shrimp, like storing the left overs, or dumping leftovers into a container or small spare tank to grow out for larger fish.
I read some place that brine shrimp are only a positive nutritional value in their hatchling state and near the end when they grow out....states in the middle are very low in value as a food source. Hence why they do Daphnia in addition to BBS.
Thank you for the video, I always enjoy your content.
Amazing stuff
I'm in my 2nd year of the hobby and I'm still very green. I love all the educational video's you guys put out there for us newbies.
I received my Baby Brine Shrimp hatchery/Salt and brine shrimp eggs yesterday and successfully hatched my first batch and fed my fish today. I only have two tanks a 75gal and a 125gal tank, and I wanted to get an opinion of what is considered a safe amount of both salt and brine shrimp weekly. Each tank is fairly well stocked with community fish, but my platy's recently had babies and now I have baby fry as well as a few youth platy's.
Anyway, I only filled my hatchery a little less than 2/3 of the way, only added 1 table spoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of eggs. My biggest concern is if I do this every day will I be over salting my tanks. I basically poured about 1/2 the batch in each tank. The 125gal tank with the larger fish did a great job of clearing up their tank in no time, the 75gal with mostly small fish took quite sometime to eat up their batch. I know there were between 5-10 fry fish roaming around the tank before the feeding, now I only see one. My concern is that they were either eaten in the frenzy. Died from excessive salt, or their just hiding now that their bellies are full.
Any thoughts or comments would be much appreciated.
Just finished up the live stream from last week, finished up this video with Dean, probably time to put in an order for more aquarium coop stuff!
I really like the Videos with Dean, greetings from Germany .
My mind was blown when Dean measured in litres!? Love it. Have to say though, a pound is more like 500g not 400g, a quarter of a pound if 250g roughly. One gram 1g is 1/1000th of 1kg and 1kg is exactly the weight of 1 Litre (1000ml) of water. Meaning 1 ml of water weighs exactly 1 g
Excellent
I wonder where the hobby would be if Brine shrimp were not a thing. I love little questions like that. Great video! I love The tips and tricks of the trade. But seriously think about how a lot of the way that we can breed a lot of different fish hinges on one tiny little animal. Super cool! 😁🐟
Great addition to Cory's tutorial. I appreciate hearing Dean's take re: 18/24/36 hour hatches. As we have chloramines in St. Louis tap, perhaps 36 hour hatches can increase harvests despite my use of a de-chlorinator? Also will try Dean's suggestion to store baby brine shrimp in aerated salt water. Refrigerating them hasn't yet worked for me, either. Thanks gentlemen.
👍🏻😎 Excellent information.
Seems like brine shrimp eggs are on the order of 100k per gram. Dean probably hatches between 1 and 10 million per batch.
I like to use hot water and I’m able to get them to hatch in 24hrs or less. I don’t use all at one and get mine to live for 3 days most times. I love these. Great product and the fish love it!
Great video, just wondering where you got the brine shrimp stainer
Lovely
Really educational vid. Makes sense to trigger fish to eat for growth.
I make ice cubes with my brine shrimp and it works great when I only have few fish fry to feed.
You can also keep collected unrinsed brine in the fridge overnight. They will still be alive the next morning, but usually won’t last to the end of the day.
Glad to hear that Dean has trouble keeping bbs alive in the refrigerator. I thought it was just me.
Whats the glass thing to wash ? Great vid thnks🎉
Please offer a larger container! I love your bbs!!!
Coolest guys in the hobby 😎
Thank you for this video! Question: What about the sterilization process the packaged food offers? (Free of parasites and bacterias). Thank you.
Nice gold and white shirt 10:15
Rock on...!
Adjustable airstones the multi colored ones. Build up dead brine shrimp eggs in them and then Eventually it ruins your hatches as well.💚💚💚
Cory. You've talked about how people ask you about measurements of salt often and how you cant really give that since everyone has a different type and density of salt so a cup of salt for one brand might be very different than a cup of salt of another brand.
In Europe we measure salt not by volume but by weight. We would say 'add x grams/pounds of salt'. The volume of grainsize doesnt matter since you only talk about the actual weight of the actual salt. That way everyone adds the same exact amount of salt, no matter what brand they have.
To get rid of all the questions you get, it might be an idea to put the weight of the salt on your blog or in the videos. You measure how much one cup of your salt weighs and will be done with the questions from there on out. 😊
Did you make that sieve?
I bought a standered cone JBL hatchery for harvesting bbs it holds 15ml of water the problem is everytime a batch is ready to be fed too mu fry theres lots of brown eggs at the bottom as well so when i drain the eggs out im left with a mix of lovely orange bbs and brown eggs its really annoying as i lose a lot of hatched shrimp when trying to separate them 😢 any advice on how i can stop the brown shells from gathering at the bottom would be great thanks. Great too see Dean back. Love this man all the way from Ireland 🇮🇪 ❤
Great video love seeing you two together. I just bought a hatchery but I do have chlorine and chloramine in the water here so how do I go about hatching and feeding?
I myself like to take a scoop of water from fish tank or barrel that has some treated water in it.
Have you guys tried the Decapsulated Brine shrimp ?, any thoughts on it. I have been using it for a while and would love to hear what you think of it compared to live Brine shrimp.
Did you use a 3D printer for that cool Ziss Brine Shrimp Hatchery stand by your sink??? It's really cool and I want one. Also, do you also do you feed adult fish brine shrimp, as well?
Hello sir , do you have the cup separate the brine shrimp and salt. Please make a full combo wombo breeding brine shrimp items
If you overfeed with baby brine, do you get planaria then?
Do you guys sell the legs it's self I have bought one but way before the legs where not included a long time ago like maybe two plus years ago
Yes legs come with it.
@ragnabloodfallen5232 there is a great DIY video on how to make a stand for the Zeiss brine shrimp hatchery! I believe it is on the More Aquarium Co-op channel here on TH-cam. It might be on the main channel but I think it's on their other channel.
I just searched "zeiss brine shrimp hatchery aquarium co op diy stand"and it was the first video!!
Where can I buy that sieve?
what if you wanted to grow the shrimp? would your process be any different?
Good day Cory/Dean, I use 2.5 gallon hatchers. Salinity is at 0.025 with quarter teaspoon baking soda. Is that enough baking soda or too much ❔
Hi, needed to ask where do you suggest I buy aquarium/fish safe wood for decorating tanks? 👍🏻
I need a video on raising brine shrimp to adulthood for my larger fish.
The brime shrimp sieve - where would one purchase that product?
How do they make and harvest the brine shrimp eggs that aquarium coop has. I would love to see a video about that process
do yous ship to the UK?
I've been thinking of getting a 10 gallon tank and do community freshwater fish with a betta. Can any kind of fish eat brine shrimp or is it only certain kinds of fish that eat them?
Cory, I’ve always been interested and Ive always wondered how do they collect brine shrimp eggs!!??
I haven't witnessed it, but supposedly the wind makes waves and the floating eggs wash up onto the salt deposits on the sides of the lakes. I'm not exactly sure how they harvest the eggs from the salt at that point and get them to be debris free.
Are those live plants in his tanks attached to Driftwood?
Wish we can get your brand here in Australia
We hope to some day. The struggles of small business growth ;)
If my tap water ph is about 7.8 should i be fine with just normal rock salt without any buffer?
My water keeps going to 73f when I bubble. Now they do no sell incandescent bulb in USA, 2023, it’s a bummer. How do I get water back to 83f? Are you guys using heaters? Summer now so ac running at 72f
I get that brine shrimp is easy to hatch for feeding fish. And I get that fish absolutely love eating them because they probably taste great to a fish. But just because they love eating them doesn’t mean its nutritional value is a good one, the nutritional value of a brine shrimp is sorely lacking.
The nutritional value of Red worms, black worms and daphnia just to name a few are by far way more superior than brine shrimp.
I did my research and for me black worms are the easiest live food to grow for feeding fish.
Just my humble opinion.
Where can you buy the leg extension for the brine shrimp hatchery bottle holder? Or the holder for the brine shrimp bottle? I already have the ziss brine shrimp hatchery
15:46 what did dean put in the end of that easy flow to make it not float cause I've wanted to do that but unless I suction cup it to the side it will float, New video idea Deans experiments in the fish room lol
What did you think about the Great Salt Lake Artemia ?
🔥
Can you feed bbs to juvenile Tropheus?
How do you stop the eggs going up the walls of the hatchery? I have to squirt water along the sides maybe for 10 min in the beginning to help the eggs get back to the water
DEEEEAAAAANNNNNN
Make sure you wrap Dean carefully when you move him to Kentucky. We'd miss him otherwise!
i feed my kubotai rasbora fry bbs after 2+ weeks, they are too small to eat them(i use the small bbs also). the adults get bbs every day/if not then daphnia. best food is live food
I've found the eggs I can get here is Aus only ever give me about 80% hatch rate and it was very fiddly to seperate the eggs. I now decapsulate them prior to hatching and I find it so much easier. Would be great if I could get some Co-op eggs!
Wish we could get their brand here
How much baking soda to what volume of solution ?
You might like to know that chloramines have not affected any brine shrimp hatches for me. My local water has high amounts and I think that info is incorrect. I only treat my aquarium water and actually have to double the dose, that's how high a level. I get my yearly water quality report and it shows every treatment, chemical, and procedure, as well as warnings for fish keepers. My shrimp hatch in about 30-36 hours. I use regular, non -iodized coarse sea salt. Room temp untreated tap water. So, I really don't think adding another step is required .
What's the difference tween BSD and AC egg
