Can you hatch Brine Shrimps without the "eggs" if yes, how?

Question

I'm trying to hatch these shrimps for my fishes, but I can't found any that doen't include the "hatch eggs"!

Answer 1

Nope, you need to have eggs before you can hatch eggs ;)

If you mean shellness varieties, those are out there but don;t go to the trouble and expense of buying them. Do this:

Get a suntea jar or a similar glass jar with a spigot neara the bottom. Paint the outside of the jar black or cover it with a think cover in all but one small spot near the top of the spigot. When you need brine shrimp turn off the air to the jar and let the water settle for about 15 minutes. The shells will float to the top while the live shrimp will collect and the spot you didn;t paint. They are drawn to the light. You can then drain them unto a brine shrimp net rise and feed. Hook the air back up and away uyou go for the next feeding. I keep at least three jars going starting a new one each day and dumping the oldest. More jars if I have a heavy batch of fry around at the time.

Answer 2

you can buy live brine shrimp if that is what you are asking. Your better fish stores will sell live brine shrimp which you can keep in a seperate aquarium or put directly into your tank.

It would be advantagious for you to get a small brine shrimp hatchery and hatch your own inside your tank. Less than $10.

Answer 3

confident, I used to hatch the brine shrimp at room temperature. i do no longer comprehend if this is swifter with a heater although, because of the fact I on no account used a heater. i comprehend that in case you run out of sea salt you ought to use common table salt to hatch them.

Answer 4

You either have to have eggs or breeding female brine shrimps to make eggs. No way around that--there are no spontaneously generating brine shrimp.

Answer 5

NO. HAHA where would they hatch from if there are no eggs????? Buy live ones if you dont want to hatch your own.

Answer 6

Answer 7

Where in Hell do you think they come from?
