Brine Shrimp Hatchery Kits brine Shrimp Eggs Incubator Hatchery brine Shrimp Eggs Incubator Artemia Hatchery with Silver air Pump

This works great for small tanks.. You can hang it on the inside of your tank to keep the temperature consistent.. or you can put it on the counter with a light to keep it warm.. simple to put together easy to clean.. it’s perfect for when you have a smaller amount of fish to feed…

The media could not be loaded. I bought this and brine shrimp eggs to raise for feeding to my koi and goldfish fry. This kit is really amazing. Perfect size for a few days worth for feeding. The kit has all you’ll need. After following instructions to set up and they hatch, I shut off the air pump long enough for them to settle , shine a flashlight at the bottom. Egg shells will rise and shrimp swim to the bottom towards the flash light. Takes time. I un clip and release what I need for a day in to a flat dish or Tupperware container ,( do not cover )and re clip hatchery tube tight, rinse what I released and let them settle again and feed to my fry with the dropper provided , try to keep egg shells separate from shrimp. You can refrigerate but I don’t. They will definitely end up eating “some“ egg shells but that is fine. Re start the air pump till the next day and proceed the process for those remaining in the hatchery again. This is really fun but really good for your fry as this helps quicker growth .

Only holds 2 cups so will have to have small tank.

This will hatch brine shrimp, but. To start off I will say that this is the second I have bought. I liked the first one enough, and I have enough of a need of BBS to need two hatcheries. The first I used all hose that I had purchased myself, and it's a good thing for this seller. The first one I bought was clearly used. The tube was dirty and had salt residue on it. The pipettes were all smashed, the suction cups were all smashed and in now way ever going to work. There was no instructions included with the first. In the meantime we bought another pack of pipettes and everything was ok. So I buy another. The second one arrives, not used, pipettes not damaged, suction cups in working order. So I set it all up with the included hose. I tee off the original air line (Really no use to use two pumps) and get everything running. Later that day I went to check my first hatchery and notice that the air isn't working in either. I find that the air hose provided has slipped off the tee. I reattach it and go on with my day. I go out later and again, the air line (The one supplied) has slipped off the tee. At this point my 2 batches of BBS are both dead. I reattach the hose, and zip tie it on. Reset up both with new water, salt and eggs, and go to bed. In the morning again, it has slipped off the tee. At this point I realize the hose is not of high enough quality to withstand a 10 degree temp change and remain on the tee. I swap out the supplied hose with that super high quality $5 per 25 feet of store bought hose. Get both hatcheries cleaned out of dead BBS and eggs, and remake the water\salt\egg combo. Throughout the day yesterday everything is great. No hoses coming off. I get up this morning and what do you know, the air hose from the valve to the very top of the hatchery (2 inches of air line) has slipped off... Again, the supplied hose is garbage. Another batch (possibly 2) of BBS is dead. Thankfully my fry is big enough that it has been eating flake food, or at this point I would have had 250 baby Gourami dead. The hatchery and air pump seem to be fine. But the hose is complete garbage. If this company is trying to save money by skimping on what has to be the least expensive part it is very sad. The hatchery comes supplied with 2 types of hose, and about 30 feet total. It needs about 4 inches to go from the valve to the bottom, and the inside to the solid tube. Depending on where you were to place this it may take 5 feet to get from the air pump to the hatchery. If they were to buy good quality hose in bulk it couldn't possibly increase the bottom line too much.My bottom line on this product is the hatchery is good. It works, but do yourself a favor and just toss the supplied hose right in the bin.

Ok

First thing to note is this hatchery is quite small. So small, that when you use the air pump even on low settings, the bubbles go up very high and spray eggs and salt on the top part of the cylinder and outside of the hatchery. Because of this, many eggs won’t hatch. I started using double the quantity of eggs that I would normally use to make up for this, but this hatchery is not convenient, clean or economical. I tried both hatching methods listed on the instructions multiple times with different cysts, nothing worked. I’m going back to my soda bottle hatchery. DO NOT BUY.

Easy to use and put together. Everything you need.

Product includes a picture of the set and three ways you can set it up. One includes threading an acrylic tube into a silicon tube to feed the air from the top, which was my preference. There is no way to get the acrylic tube into the silicon tube and no suggestion how. Once attempted, the tube became stuck halfway, so it’s unusable. I purchased new tubing separately and failed again. Product is useless.
