Hi I finnally have my brine shrimp hatchery working. I feed the fish once a day with the shrimp. But I do not know how much to feed. Flake food is 30second rule. But live shrimp doesn't seem to work with that rule. Now I believe I'm feeding too much because I seem to be getting snails. Snails...

The store I would buy them from is a REAL tropical fish store. They quarantine all fish before releasing to sell tanks. They feed brine shrimp as well as quality flake. The owner knows fish both salt and fresh. A Mom and Pop store in Chicago

I believe the Brine shrimp eggs I have are bad. I should have some hatch. From pack of eggs I have not one hatched. But I'll try again this time with distilled water

Brined have more airiation in the bottle. This has been going for 20 hours. No shrimp. maybe 36 or 48.

picture My hatchery

hatch Hi Andy. Well, one hatch that's it. Maybe by bottle is too small. 2 liter maybe I should Have a larger bottle.

Brine I do have a heater. Right now the water is very warm 86 I didn't touch the heater temp at all. I did turn it down. I'm hoping for a 24 hour hatch. Also I think I need a larger bottle.

Interesting My water is 7.8ph Aquarium salt API I did have batch today. I'm not sure when they hatched. But this morning I had Brine shrimp. That was a 38 hours. I made a new batch.

reply I'm using a LED light on the side of the tank. Yesterday the temp of the tank was 81. Today temp was 78. Put it out a bit. I'm going to see if it takes up to 48 hours to hatch.

no shrimp. I cannot figure out why I cannot hatch these shrimp. Keeping the water warm is a problem. It is either too warm 84f or cool 80f. Keeping it stable is a problem. I have a light shinning all the time on top of the hatchery. maybe that is a problem. I do have a light that I can shine on...

brine I'm trying to get the temp steady. It has been 24 hours. Should I dump this batch and try again. Or, wait another 24 hours?

Brine shrimp I bought a 5gal tank. I have a heater placed in. Light above the hatchery and air pumped in. The heat is 84f. It has been 18 hours and no hatching. I did have the temp 81 degrees. But when I woke up this am and the temp risen to 84f. Let's see at 24hours

Brines Thank for the info. I'll have to figure something out. Water is too cool.

title I bought them from V Point Store. From what I see it is Brine Shrimp Direct. I do have a small heater I could install. But the thought of the plastic melting concerns me.

Hi. I am having a problem with hatching brine shrimp.I have followed many one line hatching videos. I thought I had it made when I had a hatch in 20 hours. I bought new eggs. I do have air machine attached to the hatcher. I also have a lamp shining on it, Sea salt and a touch of water...

Hi I have a 20 gal tank that has been up for 4 years. right now there is only a horse face loach and a red dwarf place. Lots of plants. My Nitrate is very high. Amonia is goo and so is nitrites. Can't figure out why the Nitrates are so high. There is double hang on back filters. Water is changed...

I haven't seen the babies in a day. How do I know when the babies are in the mouth of the parents? The parents are chasing away all the other fish. I believe the babies must be around.

Thanks so much

Hi, My Krbenisis spawn and now I have babies. I thought the father was eating them. I read that Kribs take care of their young. Today I still have the babies. Yippy.. They are in a community tank now. Can I leave them in the tank or should I move them? What should I feed them? I do have baby...

Thanks My water is 0amon,0 nitros ,5 nitros. 7.8 ph no clamping Ian thinking it might be the water temp too warm. 80f. I was told awards like it a bit warmer. But they were down on the bottom before that. I than thought they were having babies. But no babies seen Guppies yes no awards. This has...

Thanks I would agree with your thoughts. But the male. died.

Hi I have a couple of female swords. Male died. All they do is stay in one place on the bottom. They are fast swimmers when need to be. When the male was alive I thought they could be pregnant. They still look pregnant but no babies. Strange , all the other fish in the tank swim around just...

Hi. I have a Fluval LED light. I control with my iPhone. The Dalight setting has all these colors of light to use. I put 100% on each. But I seem to have spring algae in the tank. The lights are on for 8 hours. It is a planted tank with floating plants on top. it seems I get this algae every so...

I have strange swordtail acting. The male died a month ago. The 3 sword living now are female. They don't swim around. They stick to near the bottom of the tank. The other members are 3guppies plus babies.,4.bristal nose plecos. Water is 0 ammonium, 0 nitrites, and .5 nitrates. I have the tank...

No cats only dogs. I did notice that some of the angels would move to the other side of the tank. I should have realized that it could be bullies in the tank. Maybe the small fish I put in the tank are too small for the fish already in the tank. Thus bulling. I believe I need to rethink the tank...
