Hatching Brineshrimp

To hatch brine shrimp eggs, fill up the hatchery with about one litre of water. Add one tablespoon of salt and a small scoop of brine shrimp eggs. Connect the valve to an air pump and aerate the solution for 24 hours. The solution should turn a bright red colour, indicating that most, if not all, the eggs have hatched.

Do not use kitchen salt or the hatch rate will be very low. Many fish shops in Singapore sell brine shrimp eggs that will NEVER hatch no matter how long you aerate them. I think this is because they are not keeping their eggs in the proper conditions. Brine shrimp eggs should always be kept in the refrigerator (in the vegetable compartment, not in the freezer) when not in use.

Keep warm the warmer they are the quicker they hatch  about 78 degrees will do

Most blogs on brine shrimp talk about hatching the eggs, but I can’t find any info on the net about growing them on, I can only assume its not worth the effort or is it ?

There is no nutritional value in adult brine shrimp.
the effort involved to rear them to adults is not worth it.
brine shrimp are most beneficial upto three days.
please see my review on brine shrimp and vote.
thanks
