Brine Shrimp Hatchery Dish + 3 Months Supply of Brine Shrimp Eggs (1.75oz Grade A)

They went the extra mile to satisfy me. I’m back to buy another one so I can have brine shrimp everyday easily. The product works as shown. Extremely easy to setup, use and clean. It is not thin cheap plastic. It is thick and sturdy. It can actually take some real world use and abuse. Harvesting is a little different than the standard drain and strain, so there is not as many shrimp available at once. I now feed smaller amounts constant throughout the day. This is a much better way to feed, especially fry. The recommended amount of eggs to start with is one. I am now up to 4 scoops at once successfully hatching (@ 90% hatch rate) without any crash. Granted, this is my 4th hatching. It is enough to feed many tanks, over 8 at from this dish. BBS is no more than 50% of their diet. If you have 1 tank, then 1 scoop is probably more than enough for 100% of their diet. ThunderAquatics.us recommends to buy now! No affiliation to product or seller. Simply a customer.

I’ve never tried to hatch brine shrimp before, but now that I have a saltwater tank I wanted to try my hand at it. After doing some internet searching, it seemed a bit more involved than I would like - separating shells, using air stones and fine mesh nets, etc. Then I stumbled across this product, which seemed to be an all in one solution. I was a bit skeptical, but the reviews were good so I went ahead and bought it. It was very simple to set up, especially considering I already have all I need for saltwater. Last night I set it up exactly according to directions, put the container under an under cabinet light, and woke up today to little live critters! My fish absolutely loved them. They are continuing to hatch, as I continue to harvest and store them for a couple days. The setup is small and simple. I did not need anything outside of what was included in the kit. Harvesting was easy. They are hatching great. I am very satisfied!

I've been a tropical fish hobbyist since grade school. I'm now in my 40's. I always used freeze-dried brine shrimp in the past for feedings and never bothered learning how to hatch my own because I didn't have a good reason to bother with it. I recently acquired some white cloud mountain minnows by accident and they spawned in my pond. I decided to bring them in for the winter and wanted to try to entice them to spawn again indoors. I found through online research that live brine shrimp is supposed to help with that. I decided to give this hatchery a try based on other reviews I read. It's super easy to set up. You'll need some non-iodized salt - about 1 tablespoon to 3 cups of water. I had some in my kitchen for cooking already. I set up the hatchery and decided to only do 1 scoop of eggs for the first try. I set it up Thursday night and it didn't even take 24 hours. I had live babies swimming in the center the next afternoon. In 3 days, I've already pulled the sieve for feedings five times in just three days. I have two ten gallon tanks, each with about fifteen minnows and three cory cats. At first I gave each tank one full sieve. It's very easy to split a sieve between the two though. I even released one full sieve into my pond where I currently have two small goldfish and some rosey cheek minnows just because there are so many shrimp. I had only planned on doing one feeding a week but this first batch from just one scoop of eggs has produced so much! I've been very impressed by this hatchery. I bought a desk lamp for a heat source but have not had to use it. I sat the hatchery on the window sill in my kitchen and the sunlight has been enough light to draw them in. Great product overall! Great buy that I'm glad I invested in. I highly recommend it and I hope to have some baby minnows soon because of it.

I use 1 tablespoon table salt to 4 cups of tap water and always get great results. I start seeing nauplii around 18 hours under light and in abundance around 24 hours. I usually get 2 or 3 good feedings from a batch ending around 30 hours in. I wash it out with hot water and repeat the process.

I have had this hatchery less than a week and i love it. Basically, i had tried all the others and the problem is, egg shells ended up with the newly hatched shrimps. Not this one... I decided to try this and i will say, in under 24 hours, i had thousands of shrimps in the little cup from 1 tsp of eggs. What i did was premixed some dechlorinated water, baking soda and aquarium salt and poured it in. I put it under a light without the lid on. The lid, in my opinion, is only needed when they are hatched to attract them to the center cup. I should have bought this a long time ago. It's so simple... Mine came with eggs and since i got so many baby shrimp now, i just set up a tank for growing them out for my bigger fish. The eggs it come with should last you a long time. Oh yea, about aeration... Well, i din't use any aeration and i still got a good hatch rate. I just kept the water about 80-82 using only a CFL bulb closely over it until the majority of the eggs hatched, then i put the lid on and used a small flashlight sitting over the hole with a clear coaster (Cork pad removed) to attract them to the center. I harvested just shrimps, no egg shells... Perfect...

Always found brine shrimp hatching to be a complete pain so I never did it. Find a place to hang it near my air pumps, make sure nothing leaks, divert an air pump etc etc. This made things so much easier since I can just set it on any surface without bothering with air pumps or hanging and it'll be fine. Wish I found this earlier.

This dish is very easy to set up, and really works. This is my second dish I got from this company, it comes with little pipette ( to collect the hatched shrimps) and small jar of brine shrimp eggs and if you follow the instructions, after 24 hours there is fresh food for your fishes. Also, small sample of dry flakes food was included, and my fishes like it too.

Simple to use once you've figured out the set up, but boy their a lot missing- its not like you open the box and get started. The box barely comes with any instructions cause its mostly another language; here's the gist of extra things you should prepare to have; Non Iodinized Salt Dechlorinated water or a gallon of distilled water. The Gallon comes in handy to measure out the ratios of water parameters for future use as well as you will notice the process is tedious, getting it right once and storing a jug for the long term is a good idea. -PH Adjusters: because the PH needs to 8.0-8.2 So you'll need baking soda or something else -PH test Kit - Epson Salt is recommended on some channels, but not sure why. - tiny pinch of Yeast and flour for their food is optional since they wont stay in their too long. - Air Sealed Smaller Vials for portioning out the eggs as recommended on their website because you need to freeze the eggs for long term and refrigerate the vial you're using for the short term. I found some plastic Vials on amazon for $8, but i can't say much for their functionality and I only used 20 of the 50 plus i have them inside freezer zip lock bag https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074QKMF2G/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 - A Light thats not LED because you also want the warmth that comes with, so one that can be right over the container. I have hanging light bulb hanging over mine 24/7 and temperature should be around 80 degrees - It does come with PLENTY OF EGGS for life time of use for any hobbyist. I spent like two days figuring all this out and buying these extra things that i didn't expect. Amount this with the the Extra shipping cost, and I paid a whole lot more for this "extra Supplement" than the list price. I wish I remembered the ratios for the water prep to offer you but im not confident enough to give it to someone else. Bonus- they sent me a food sample for some other product, but I without any description of what its for. I asked on their website for description since its not listed on their site, but nothing. i wish i could tell you the ratios for the water parameters, but i doubt that i got it perfect. I'll tell you something though, One batch of hatchlings keep feeding my fish for 2 weeks -3 full scopes every day. they eventually just kept hatching . I've seen some people start a fresh batch daily, this looks effortless compared to that air bubbler ones.

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.

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.

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.

Does not produce near the amount that it should based on quantity of eggs used. Many eggs go unhatched using this hatchery, and I have tried a couple different brands of eggs. I think an actual hatchery with air would be the better way to go.

Did not come with brine eggs as advertised
