Wel-Don Tanks Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Have to say I have already seen increased fry production since feeding baby brine daily! But also the noticeable health benefits to all my fish. Growing faster, coloration and much more active. Love my Ziss Hatchery! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mineralNTL Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 On a serious note - I have been wondering what the delta is between frozen baby brine and live baby brine. Obviously, I can only imagine the live is better but I wonder if anyone has done any kind of objective testing (or even just somewhat scientific anecdotal) on the real world results between the two.

Administrators Cory Posted July 15, 2020 Administrators Share Posted July 15, 2020 I would guess dean has actual data. I myself just know that they don't feed nearly the same rate also I find live baby brine to be cheaper than frozen baby brine even at wholesale for me.

Dean’s Fishroom Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Frozen Baby Brine shrimp in my opinion should only be used if you absolutely have to. When thawed it just sinks in water and most of it is just mush. Will it keep your fry alive?, maybe, it depends if they go after it. Live baby brine shrimp swim around and trigger fry to strike out and eat, that is why almost all successful breeders use it and swear by it. It makes bringing fry along much easier. Also it is far cheaper to hatch live baby brine shrimp than buy frozen. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frost Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Tried baby brine for the first time a few days ago in preparation for some killi eggs that didn't hatch... My chocolates and harlequins got quite the buffet though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing I'm wondering: I vaguely recall @Cory saying if you wanted to breed white clouds to have them alone in the tank - no shrimp, no snails, nothing. Even a nerite or two? Little pond snails to help with cleanup and keep the tank balanced? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't have success with breeding white clouds until I kept them alone with no snails. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandy Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 @TheDukeAnumber1 You have just solved a huge mystery for me...Unfortunately, I guess. Not sure eradicating snails is even an option for me anymore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
