Sea Monkeys and not the band lol

[Southern Flame]

I've never had sea monkeys. What exactly are they?

[hobogato]

brine shrimp aka artemia

[Southern Flame]

So I could buy some from Walmart and hatch them for my scooter? LOL

[hobogato]

yes, but it is much cheaper to order a big container through brineshrimp direct or another online vendor.

[Southern Flame]

O ok lol I was just curious cause I always see them when we go shopping lol

[hobogato]

i have two hatcheries. that way i can hatch a new batch every day and enrich them for 24 hours with phyto so the tank is being fed two day old enriched brine. the fishes and corals love it.

I would love to learn how to do this

[hobogato]

i will try to put a thread together in the next couple of days.

last time i did brine i would drain out to many when draining the gunk,shells and the light trick would never work for me i want to learn too :)

[Fracture]

Yay that would be great thanks

[Mike]

Sounds like it could be a fun meeting topic. Ace are you hatching them at school or home?

[Fracture]

That would be a great meeting topic

[Mike]

Is that the soda bottle holder thing we made last year during a meeting?

[rrasco]

I think the soda bottle method is the legit method. The kits you buy require you to provide a 2-liter bottle of your own. I did it about once or twice (for cichlid fry) and then decided it was too much work.

[Southern Flame]

i wanna learn also :)
