How do I make brine shrimp eggs? Where can I get them?

Question

I need brine shrimp eggs for these hatching eggs. But I don't have any. Either I can make fresh brine shrimp eggs, or find some.

Answer 1

Pet stores have them in little vials in the fish/fish food section. They usually have the salt packet to make the salt water solution for them, also. Both the eggs, freshly hatched brine shrimp and adult shrimp are used for fish food. In theory, you can feed the shrimp and they will breed and you can have generations of them, but I am never able to sustain them that long.

Sea Monkeys are giant brine shrimp on steroids. I forget where you get them, but they are nearly twice the size of brine shrimp. I have been able to sustain generations of these shrimp. And yes, they DO start hatching within hours of putting the eggs in the salt water solution (you need a microscope to see them, or a very good hand lense).

Answer 2

Not sure how you make them - but search sea monkeys - as that is what the brine shrimp eggs are often sold as.

Answer 3

definite, brine shrimp eggs require salt and then you'll favor an air stone to save them in action. The temperature they are saved at will be certain the era of time required to hatch.

Answer 4

O sweet, those things are kewl, I usually buy them from the flea market or some store that sells sea monkeys or prehistoric fish in the tiny packets.

Answer 5

Make them?

All I know is that if you get a sea monkeys kit, that's what is in the package.
