How to Hatch Brine Shrimp Eggs with NO Equipment | NO Air Pump Easy Setup
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 вер 2024
- Hi, everyone! Recently, I have been wanting to feed my fish live foods. I wanted to try hatching my very own brine shrimp eggs but quickly found out through research that most of the hatcheries required other external equipment such as an air pump and heat source. I thought to myself, "how can I achieve the same result (hatched baby brine shrimp) without the hassle of the equipment?" Well, my tank contains all the essential items in order to hatch the shrimp, so I decided to just use what I had, and to my surprise, it worked! I hope you all try this out, it is so easy to do, and it's very fun to watch these little crustaceans hatch.
Measurements:
1) 1 2/3 tablespoons of salt per 1 quart of water
2) If the pH is under 8.0 ppm, add 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda per 1 quart of water
Other Notes:
1. Optimal temperature is 80-82 degrees Fahrenheit
2. Hatching time can range from 18-48 hours

Do baby brine shrimp need air pump to grow ???
.
Sea Monkeys for professionals.
@@Guppyhobby4223 not really
How long can brine shrimp baby live?
Imagine being born just to get eaten
👀 legit everything
That s reason i don t want to buy
life is eating you everyday dumbass
I mean like, farms
Imagine being born just to be on display in a glass box, for someone's pleasure.
To be honest i've never heard anything about those shrips so at the start i was like: oooh you can hatch your own pets! That is cool!
*Girl feds them to the fish*
Me: but i thought- 👁️👄👁️
Same, but now I knoe better.
Same
artemia are the same type of creature as sea monkeys, so you could get those instead if that's what you're going for
@@WowCoolHorse :O
@@WowCoolHorse oh cool! So if you decide to keep them, will they get bigger and bigger?
Imagine watching your food being born and slowly growing in front of your eyes!!!
Everyone who lives on a farm....)
@@AlbertoMartinez765 lmao
Farmers 🤦♂️
Soooo farms-😭
People who live in the country?
It will hatch for sure, but you will get way better hatch rate if you use airpump with regulated flow..Greetings from India❤️

Shrimp : Yay! I am born!
Fish: 😮
Shrimp : waaaaaah!!!!!!
One small but important point - the empty shell cases float on the surface after hatching. What you have at the bottom of the container is not egg shells, they are unhatched eggs. Using your system you will never get a 90% hatch rate, you'll be lucky to get half of that. Just get yourself the smallest air pump available, a couple of feet of air line (you don't even need an air stone) and an empty 1 or 2 litre water bottle and your hatch rate will increase dramatically at very little cost.
Thanks
@Yeshua's Words And maybe you can tell us all how this relates to a video concerning how to hatch brine shrimp eggs to feed to tropical fish? Can I suggest you take your sermon and post it somewhere else, there are plenty of Christian videos out there who might appreciate your input.
Don't reply to the bot

Isnt that the "seamonkey" that we got as a child?
They are lmao😂
Yep
Wait what y’all got fish? I’m confused
@@mynochannel7859 not the fish, they sold these shrimp as instant pet in packages and cute tanks and even keychain as child's toy haha
Its the brine shrimp or artemia not a sea monkey but sea monkey are brine shrimp species too. Sea monkey is hybrid breed from brine shrimp called Artemia NYOS, and sea monkey mostly for being pet and Artemia is for feeding baby fish or little fish.
You mean *_The Amazing Live Sea Monkeys Ocean-zoo The World’s Only Instant Pets_*
I’m left wondering when a soda bottle and an airstone became “extensive equipment”
Yes, I've actually only seen people do it with cheap plastic containers of various kinds (including bottles) and MAYBE an air pump. (Though if they're only going to be in the container for 24-48 hours, perhaps aeration isn't really an issue.)
That's not extensive equipment. But it's also not a good hatch rate.
@@piperlourion007 Brine shrimp don't care about their container being plastic or glass, just give them a heated water, with a bit of baking soda and enough salt, and drop an air pump
I usually use the heated side of the refrigerator to keep it warm because I can't be bothered to buy a heater for it
@@arthurheine5631 again. Bottle isn't extensive equipment. And for sure, you can obviously do as you said. But as I said, it's not the best hatch rate one can achieve.
@@piperlourion007 and how do you achieve the best hatch rate? What's the setup?
imagine being made just to be eaten
*Promised neverland Flashback*
im making mine for pets
Nooooo 😭😭😭
Yakusoku no neverland🤣🤣🤣
Fish have become monsters for fish
We do that everyday when we eat store bought meat 😂 we just don’t have to see them
I'd hate to mix them up with my instant coffee
Throw another 142,500 brine shrimp on the barbee.
imagine raise hatching pokemon and feed them to other pokemon
they eat pokemon too
Okay but i don’t know why i’m saying this but i think the baby brine shrimps are actually pretty cute tho, i kinda felt sad when you fed them to ur fish💀😭😅
every one in the comments like "Imagine being born just to be eaten" are gonna lose it when they here about whales, like seriously there kill counts are off the charts
Or veal. Or any other mass consumption meat.
I thought killing whales was illegal??? Where does this happen? That's so horrible, whales are very intelligent creatures....
@@sly-fi6502 Yeah I don't agree with the consumption of veal. Or honestly the way the beef industry handles it all either, pork, chickens, etc. Very cruel. I watched too many of those horrible videos
i was taking about how whales eat millions of shrimp in one gulp ya dinguses
XD
The people saying to use an air pump totally missed the point. Thank you for sharing this video!! It's great to know that success can be had no matter the equipment you have ❤
I'd give this 49 more likes if I were able. I'm glad someone pointed this out, as the lesson seemed to go over quite a few people's heads. Not everyone has the money for even "the most inexpensive air pump," and the intention of this video was to be useful for ~everyone~. If you have an air pump and "swear by it," did you come to this video JUST to ridicule the people who can't afford a "cheap" setup? $20 might not be a lot to one, but to another it might be more money than they've seen in months (living paycheck to paycheck.) It's also nobody's business how they spend their money, so what makes them think they have the right to tell them how to spend it?
(*You is used in the general sense of the word, and none of the latter-half of the rant is directed towards OP, just - EXAMPLE - "you" people complaining about an "air pump.")
@@behindtheglamour If you can't afford $20 for an air pump, you prolly can't afford to keep fish in optimal conditions.
Right?? I'm considering raising brine shrimp for my fish. I don't have a lot of fish! If I could set something up even smaller than this, that would be FINE. I don't need a perfect hatch rate. I just want to spoil my fish.
@@Mastemine498 why spend money that you don’t have to spend…? If you can hatch them without the pump, why would you go out and by one? You’re very elitist, classist, and sh*tty.
@@MaiAriSquee did you find something smaller? I use containers about 1 cup size, or a bit bigger, placed on top of the glass, so warm. the BBS keep hatching even after several days. I siphon some up and rinse them through nylon stocking.
She had me dead when she said I’m gonna feed them to my fish , I was like “wait what! I thought they were going to live and have a nice life and grow to be adults🥺”
Adult brine shrimp look pretty freaky. Besides, they’re going to a good cause. Baby brine shrimp that still have their yolks and super nutritious for fry and really help them grow. Maybe you can have a packet next to the fry tank commemorating their sacrifice to feed the fry.
Lol
@@sonofaquack6987 this caused me to google "adult brine shrimp" and now I'm disturbed. I'd rather cuddle a horseshoe crab then look at that again lmao
@@arirose5887 yeah, im not too big of a fan. Especially since Im pretty sure they turn into flies after that.
@@sonofaquack6987 two different things
Everyone talking about imagine being born just to be food but nobodies talking about how beautiful those fish are- 💖❤️💖❤️💖
Fancy guppies, you should get some they breed like crazy
Is the intro music jigglypuff's song?
One of the best and more detailed Brine Shrimp How To Vids I've come across, quite surprised at your success rate without the use of an air stone. Great job👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
When I was a kid, I would hatch brine shrimp ever couple of weeks. All I used was table salt, tap water and an old welch's jelly jar. Sprinkle a bit of flour to help the grow for a couple days. Then I would pour them into a piece of nylon stocking to get rid of the salt water and shake them out into my 20 gallon tank. Easy peasy and frightfully cheap for live food.
This doesn't work. You need airpump. This is like making gasoline from compost.
Ive heard a magnet on a string with collect the shrimp shells, I know it sounds crazy but it works.
It really dose work
Only artificially magnetized shells
@@خرابيط-ش1ج yes
I’m never going to do this, but this is so interesting! I love it!
I *might*try it one day (or not), but they're definitely fascinating little creatures. The dormancy of the eggs - and the mere fact that this is actually an animal more or less unchanged in the last 200,000,000 years!
@@CopenhagenDreaming ikr!!! Pretty insane!
*Finally born*
_I'm gonna see the sunligh--_
*Gets eaten*
_O-O_
This is the way MANY animals go. Sad but that's just the way many ecosystems work.
Everyone talking about how it must be to be born to just be eaten, be happy you're at the top of the food chain
Even if you end up 6ft under you end up eaten by something... I guess cremation is the only way to avoid becoming worm and bacteria chow
I loved feeding my fish brine or fairy shrimp. I'm always like, "Herbivores, my butt."
Herbivores my butt🤣🤣
Pro Tip: BBS don’t need salt if you’re hatching them as food. Only needs baking soda to raise ph.
how about the ratio?
@@devan4776 Don’t have exact measurements, kind of just experimented but I usually do 1 tsp per liter of water.
NOT true. Have you ever done this?????
@@herohour6496 Yes, I have done this plenty of times...which is why I know it works and recommended it lol
Baking soda hatches them while salt helps them live longer. Most of us are just hatching it fresh to feed to our fry fish so the added salt is not necessary.
@@NeonKue good shit. How do I get around cold water? I don't have a light or a heater. I'm using the 2L bottle kit.
Everyone be like “imagine being born just to be eaten” and I agree but at least there in a better place now :( I keep mealworms for my ant colony and I give them fresh fruit and let them grow to become beetles and then kill them if needed because they don’t deserve to die when there young.
It can be breed like that? Because mine so many have become a beetle
My opinion is that any of these feeders lives a better life with me than they would in the wild. No matter how short. And sorry, but you need to feed your babies babies unless you can culture insuforia and copepods.
@@rylsahmad people do. But beetles eat their own eggs. Seriously, how does anything we keep reproduce in the wild? They all seem to eat their young and eggs.
@@-8_8- yes thats what i think, and even other mealworm will eat a small mealworm. They eat anything if they need too
No way ppl are this sensitive ab brine shrimp wtf
Love that little Pokémon music at the end
and at the very beginning..
OK.......This video has inspired me.
I'm doing this simple method and no doubt a video will follow.
Credit to you for giving me a push, thanks for sharing :)
Pls be careful about the size and weight of the brine shrimp container you use. If you use something that is too big or heavy, your guppies (or other small fish) may get crushed between the hatchery and the glass, if they get curious and venture in to explore. I’ve had this happen to me in the past. I don’t want it to happen to you. I’d advise that you get a proper hatchery, like one that still sits inside the aquarium but has suction cups so it stays fixed a set distance from the glass. Or you can put filter foam in there at all 4 corners, to ensure your fish don’t get crushed between the hatchery and the glass.
WAIT WAS THAT JIGGLYPUFF'S SONG AT THE BEGINNING OR AM I CRAZY
imagine being born just to get spawn killed ;-;
Fabulous video, and of course most of us only want small amounts of live foods at one time anyway.
Lucky Guppies and the Wisteria plants look sensational :)
The unit of measurement of this video is killing me
Who remembers those sea monkey things when we was kids
With the help of this video finally I understood what brine shrimp is and how it works.
Thanks for sharing.
Imagine the uploader was the Brine Shrimp
Lol
Love this. You dont need fancy equipment. Understandabley if you are raising them to feed large quantities of fish its not practicle. But for the average person with 1 tank or. Small tank this works great. I hatch mine in an empty gallon milk jug heater and air stone.
Your poor guppies gonna have no livers left after all that salt you just slammed in their faces 🤣
Fishes brutally eating baby shrimps*
Also her: *proceeds to play cheerful fun music*
And btw this is *just a joke*
Don't use table salt...Don't USE TABLE SALT!!!
Great video! How do you wash the baby brine shrimp prior to feeding?
I’m wondering the exact same thing!
You can use a brine shrimp net. You can get one on Amazon. The nets strings are so small that the brine shrimp can’t go through. Pretty much draining them.
This scene is like promised Neverland👁👄👁
I don't even have pet fish but these videos are so amazing and very informational. Even the shorts! Love your fish and keep up the good work!
I’m going to start this just because I’m getting a ranchu goldfish :)
Me: "mmmm i wonder how people do this"
Me after watching: "She's a witch!!"
Seems very silly to me, you take away 5 to 10% of the volume of an already small aquarium. And following murphy's law, some day sooner or later you will spill the salt water in to your freshwater aquarium. My bet is that they will hatch just as well when you place the bucket on the top glass.
00:00 wait a minute ! Is this that
Jigglypuff's song ? 😂😂
This was really great! Very clear, friendly and supportive. I have small aquariums so don’t need the big setup. I can do this!! Thank you!
It is important to note that your tank temperature makes a difference. Not everyone keeps their tank at 78 to 80°. A lot of people like to keep their tanks below 74° because a lot of parasites and things like it aren’t active at those temperatures. They also do better if you leave the light on all the time.
u do not keep light on all the time there is no need for that and just asking for things like algae etc
I agree with everything *but* the lighting bit. Lights are only for our sakes, and if you have live plants, for those as well. 8 hours is the max recommendation for lighting
I dont know why YT recommended this video for me and why im watching but here i am.
Thank you , I may try this someday. 🖖
Why not 😉
I'm watching this for no reason.Im watching even tho I don't raise fish
Me too
so cute...it kinda makes it look like the fish have their own pets/maybe food as well
Hi God bless all of y'all and always know that God and his son Jesus both love all of y'all in Jesus mighty name I pray Amen.
Fishes staring their foods hatching and growing:
Enjoy your 1 minute life
It doesn't matter if the fish eat the shells, it just passes through them
"out of the stomach into the stomach again"
What type of fish do you have in your tank and I think a saw a snail?
I just followed this who tutorial since I didn’t get a air pump and it worked!!!
everyone out there can probably think of a better way to secure the hatchery in a way that wont fail and kill your fish with salt water.
This reminds me of those little sea monkey kits I had as a kid hatching brine shrimp. Are they the same species?
Yes thay are.
I actually bought a sea monkey kit because i couldn't find any brine shrimp eggs locally 😂
@@falsealaska there ya go! Lol. If you grow them in a large jar on a windowsill you can raise a culture of sea monkeys that will keep producing babies for you. Spiralina seaweed pwd is a good food for them.
Would kelp powder work as food too?
@@wabuskk4283 yes I'm sure it would.
hey if you can’t afford to put air in there, you can’t afford to hatch 10% of the eggs either. you wanna save money? don’t even buy a fish tank, just use a lowes bucket. air? waste of money. who can afford that. infact don’t even buy fish. just put some pond water in the bucket. its free!!! you can watch the little bugs develop and stuff. infact, don’t even bother. just get rid of it all and start bird watching. .
imagine caring this much about what someone does with their money/time lmao
is it a concern when feeding this to your fish (freshwater) for the saltwater to mix in with the freshwater? Using a pipette would pick up the saltwater, so I'm unsure as to whether its something to be worried about?
I was wondering the same thing 🤔 😕 😅
To be honest a little pipette with a bit of salt water in should be fine if you have a large tank. I'm going to feed them to fish in my pond using pipette
what is the name of this tool?

Thank you for this amazingly simple way to hatch BBS. I used a container with only 1 cup of water so had to calculate the amount of salt, and It works for me - the copper rasboras and neons love it. I just needed to find an easy way to rinse the BBS before feeding, so improvising, I used a small tablespoon size sieve covered in a piece of pantyhose, squirted the BBS onto this, rinsed in a small stream of tap water and dipped the "device" into my aquarium.
Did someone heard jigglypuff pokemon in the beginning
I did
Literally made me close my eyes so i could focus on the sound. But it was an ad 😩
Baby shrimp:
God, Why do i have to be born only to have merely a minute life and be brutally murdered?
Imagine veal 💀
Coke bottle and hose and 2 connectors total cost $1
And you need to do way more research.
I know this because I hach and rais brine shrimp every day for my fish fry
She said she's go to use a teaspoons but she's using a nife
Plus there's no way her measurement was anywhere near the 2 tbsp or whatever she said
Your fish are adorable when they’re eating-
Shrimp: IM ALIVE
FISH: HEHEHEHEHEHEHHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHHEHE
Videos are great, great everything but that's a really poor way to hatch egg shells were getting in the water, the bicarbonate and salt should have not entered the tank as it can cause so many issues, also if you have a funneled hatchery you can easily pour out all the live shrimp and then wash and rinse them. But props for showing an alternative way
Even Cory at co-op doesn't wash hs shrimps and is happy to let some of the salt in his tank water.
@@csharpe5787 i agree. And to add, guppies are quite tolerant of salt and high PH. I'd be more concerned for the plants but water changes will solve that.
The jiggly puff song earned you a sub
Its amazing how to shrimp is still alive even when not in water
I think I’m gonna give this a try thank you for making this and showing us this
This doesn't work. Do you have common sense
@@herohour6496 yes it does
Thanks for showing how to use the scissors
Feeding time music was perfect. 😂
Wait a damn minute I’ve seen the shrimp thing in someone’s TikTok and it looks like their “sea monkies” is this what “sea monkies” are??
Sea monkeys are a genetically altered version of brine shrimp, so yes and no
@@bugjuiceglitch well that explains why they look alike
@@bugjuiceglitch "well yes but actually no" is a better answer
How do you “rinse” the shrimp?
Yeah, I also confused 🤣 Maybe move it to other fresh water container
@@elbertlim2872 how though? Haha they’re so small
@@natashafrancis3191 a month late, but there's a net with fine holes used to net these small things. Hope this helps :)
I love this! I’ve set it up for my Betta and i can’t wait for him to have fun!
How did it go?
That was awesome. Thank you.
One question, how do you rinse brine shrimp off so you don't introduce too much salt to your tank?
I usually collect in cheese cloth then gently run tank water over top
Nice🙏 I just ordered the eggs and will give it a try,
I have about 25 varieties of guppies i love them they'r long wide colourful tail is at another level
I thought these were female bettas. I would like to have those pretty guppies
Shrimps: Happy birth 😃
Fish: Yes indeed *chomp
-_-
How long will the shrimp live once you put them in freshwater?
Apparently about half an hour. I was a muppet and bought brine shrimp eggs instead of fairy shrimp lol, I wanted them to live alongside triops in fresh water...oops!
I have that hatchery kit but ima try that instead because it’s looks more fun to me idk why but great vids
Nice video but a bit to risky for me.
Didn't see you put salt in, but the risk of accidentally dumping salty brine water into the planted tank via cracked-container or spill over, could kill your live water plants.
How or where to buy brine shrimp egg
Your plants look amazing btw... No algae whatsoever. How did you do that? Thanks for the video... I'll need this for my first angelfish babies (-;
Mine are algae free due to my snails haha
Snails, shrimp, type of plants, leave the lights off when your not going to be around
Why doesn't she own a table spoon!?
Obviously not, but she does own a “scooper” 😳😳😳
8:58 I see baby shrimp swimming back 😂

This is a very informative video. Very clearly explained and demonstrated. I feel like no important detail was left out and i now know everything i need to know. Thanks for this.. ☺️
No pain receptors = brine shrimp
this is just a experiment: ive placed brineshrimp in regular water they hatched for about 16 hours with no airpump or salt
6:41 there was a small baby guppy
