Slick_Nick Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 This past week I saw a video on YouTube of someone hatching live bbs in a bowl with salt water and eggs of course! It had me very interested so I ordered some brine shrimp from aquarium co op and tried it myself! All I can say is WOW!! No air stone no heater just let them sit and I have so many bbs! I fed my 3 aquariums at 24hrs of the brine shrimp sitting now it’s been about 34 hours and there are still so many! Curious if they’ll survive until morning so I can get 2 feedings out of it! Really impressed with the hatch rate!! It was my first time so I may have went a little crazy on the eggs! I honestly didn’t think I used very much I have a pic since it won’t let me post a video! All the little things mid water are live bbs. Just wanted to share in case someone else wanted to give it a shot! My fish went crazy for the live food earlier 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Cory Posted March 22, 2021 Administrators Share Posted March 22, 2021 Yeah, I suppose we should highlight that some saltwater and eggs, will make brine shrimp enough for a smaller amount of fish. Good work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good work. Yes! I didn't know this until saw the 20$ hatchery dishes online. Freeing yourself of needing to make the "investment" in a hatchery makes trying them so much easier. I also used a coffee filter to strain and concentrate them the first few times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually started with one of those black hatchery dishes and had good success! I recently have tried a diy 2ltr egg tumbler with the airstone and have not had success so I'm going back to the black dish to see if that works again. Or maybe I'll just use a bowl of saltwater now! Thanks for your post. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
