    I've been having some troubles with bad hatch rates, I was putting in 2 tbsp of rock salt (equal to 8 tsp) so I tried the exact way you said (4tsp) and today I got an insane hatch rate of about 90%!! for the first time ever my harvest was pure liquid gold with all live shrimp and not mostly egg shells! I also stopped bothering with getting a certain temp and just put the lamp at a certain distance. thank you so much, babies are all well fed and happy now!!

    I bred a whole host of livebearers many years ago and had a similar set-up for hatching baby brine shrimp to the one you've got here. Old plastic bottles with an airstone in the caps, inverted with the bottoms cut off. Not quite as big as the ones you use, though, and I had to find a way of suspending them inside the aquarium in order for the temperature to stay consistent. I did splash out a bit and use eggs that had had their shells dissolved, which meant no eggshells to contend with, but I also used the regular variety. I also used water from the tank to mix with, what was called, 'tonic salt', that my local aquarium shop sold quite cheaply for a bag that lasted me months, that meant the eggs would hatch in 24 hours, guaranteed. I would have 2 set up in order to keep a constant supply. I also experimented with a round, dish-like hatchery but the yield wasn't anywhere near as good. I don't know how many guppies, platies, swordtails, sailfin mollies and others I bred over the years. I'd often take my excess to the local aquarium shops and swap them for food and plants!

    Just a few points that might make your harvest that little bit better:
    1: Try attaching a tiny air stone, to make the tumbling a little more gentle, whilst still keeping the current, it might boost your hatch rate a little.
    2: Shine the torch at the top of the container to attract the harvest to the top, purge a few ml whilst the majority are at the top then, then harvest. you'll be getting rid of the waste and the capsules that you don't need, improving your water quality when you feed to your fry tanks.
    3: Try feeding them for an additional day with yeast, they will grow and possibly be more attractive to your larger juvenile fish. :)
    Thank you for the videos. You are extremely inspirational.

    @KeepinhFishSimple hey nice video! Just wanted to say if ppl don't want or have the equipment they really don't need the air pump. They will hatch out with just the salt/water/container... if you hatch them at room temperature it may take over 24 hours but they will hatch. And for ppl who only need small amounts it works since you get a continual hatch for a couple days....

    Tip. If you're feeding fry that are hanging on the surface, catch the baby brine in a coffee filter, and put them in fresh water. This keeps them from dropping straight to the bottom of the tank when you squirt them in.

    • @AndrewFishman
      @AndrewFishman Рік тому

      Use of a high volume air blower, 15 mm pipes and outlets off these with regulator valves make it possible to run huge numbers of appliances from a single blower. If you find pressure dropping or hard to regulate near the end of the system, add another blower to the other end and you will never run short of air again.

  • @chia_pet7121
    @chia_pet7121 2 роки тому +1

    For the brine shrimp bottles, have you tried painting the exterior black, and leave a few inches unpainted, (or some metric equivalent), so the brine shrimp naturally congregate to the bottom, unpainted part? You would also need a dark cap, (the cut off portion of the bottle would work), so they don't just go to the top light.

    • @SueMyChin

  • @thetruthserum2816
    @thetruthserum2816 7 днів тому

    Cool content! I am wondering if it would make more sense if feeding larger fish to actually raise the BB shrimp into a much larger adult brine shrimp, such that one could use much less eggs per feeding, and gut load the shrimp with live Spirulina or other marine algae. It seems to make sense to feed Baby Brine shrimp to fry because of their small size, but seems to be less ideal for adults. I also wonder if turning off the tank's filter during the feeding cycle would allow the shrimp to stay suspended in the water column longer. I assume why many rinse their shrimp is to liberate to 30g/L salt before putting in their tank, with smaller nano tanks being affected more than larger ones. Daphnia magna also seem to be an excellent choice when combined with a live algae like chlorella or other freshwater strains.
