Giving hatching brine shrimp a go wish me luck :-)

[Southern Flame]

Giving if a go stopped by Fintique making our LFS rounds while hubby was off and the kids seen the bags of live brine shrimp labeled sea monkey's so we bought some eggs and used some salt water from the brute with a bubbler so hopefully they hatch or I need to figure out how to do this properly lol
wish me luck this is our first try :-)

Tagging along. I've done this before, but I really want to grow them out to adult sized for the bigger fish.

Will do :-) not much has changed about them if they don't hatch by Tomm morning imma feed them as cavier lol the kids keep watching but I tell them its like watching water. Boil if ya constantly standing there they will never do anything lol

[Southern Flame]

So no eggs hatched :-( imma give it another go, just not sure how to do this lol but I guess the only way to succeed is to fail at first its the only way to learn :-)

Tiphanie, what kind of eggs are you using? Give us a little rundown on your hatching setup and program, maybe someone else has had the same issue and can help out.

The eggs you bought, were they in a little tube, or a packet?

[Southern Flame]

They were in a vial and I used tank water and a bubbler once my QT is empty I'm thinking of trying again and taking the HOB filter off and useing just the air stone maybe I bought a bad batch I put a photo of the eggs I bought they came in a glass vial and I used a 2 liter bottle cut in half

It should take approx 24hrs. Also keep it under a light the entire time and make sure bubbler is all the way at the bottom of you container.

We used to use a simple empty 16oz water bottle.
