The best how to video on brine shrimp hatchery's!
I found this on you tube and tried the build myself and the results were amazing!
So simple and cheap to make too, I have literally just harvested my newly hatched shrimp and from a 1/2 tea spoon of eggs (I got on eBay) I have enough shrimps to feed my 20 red spotted newt larvae for a whole week!! There was tonnes of them!
I did rinse the shrimps first before feeding the larvae using bottled water,an old wax worm tub, an old ice cream tub, a turkey baster and some nylon curtain.
There is lots of important info in the vid like how much salt to water, what kind of salt, the best eggs to get, what you should look for once hatched and how to harvest them easily!
I have several cultures on the go: wax worms (for my gecko), lesser wax worms, white worms, daphnia and tubifex worms for all my newts and although some are very easy and very prolific, none are small enough and quick enough to reproduce for my teeny larvae than theses brine shrimp. roud:
I just felt like I should share this video with all of you, I hope it helps to feed all those tiddler tads out there!!
Absolutely Brilliant! thanks again Jazzy!
