can you hatch baby brine shrimp with table salt? or?....?

Answer 1

yes and no. This will shorten the life and any salt containing iodine will kill your shrimp. If your salt does not contain iodine it can be used (sea salt is your best route here) and can be purchased in small quantities from the pet store

Brine shrimp live in salt water and must remain in salt water. Even after hatching. (Seamonkies) That is if you plan on keeping them to feed your fish.

If you have a salt tank, you can buy a hatcher which attached to the inside of your tank. All you need is an air hose and eggs.

Answer 2

Rock salt works best, but a iodine free/{non iodized} table salt can work too, but with a bit less eggs hatching,
That and if you are using them to feed baby bettas the table salt is not so good for them anyway.

Answer 3

You can, but aquarium salt (expensive route) or pickling salt (cheap route) both give much better hatch rates and the baby shrim seem to last longer in either of those.

Answer 6
