Hi, this is my first time hatching brineshrimp and I'm following yellowpebbles tutorial, but for some reason after I turned the aeration off the bbs that had hatched all sunk to the bottom and everything looks dead? I can't see any movement or anything, they've definitely hatched though (I can see the small orange dots). The babies have already hatched and are waiting to be fed:(

I thought this too, but I hadnt waited long enough for them to hatch which can be up to 48 hrs. I have found best results though were obtained when i could keep the water at 30 degree celcius. To do this I bought one of those thermometer stickers for on your tank and stuck it on the bottle on the side facing away from the light..that way I can make sure I get the position of the lamp right
