AOSI0115 Osi Brine Shrimp Eggs Pet Food, 3.5-Ounce

This was my first time hatching brine shrimp and it went better than expected!I used a liter soda bottle, an air pump, salt, baking soda, water and light for 24 hours.The hatch rate seemed to be the 90% they claim. There were plenty that didn't hatch. However, that was mostly because the eggs floated to the top of the water and settled on the sides of the bottle, (out of the water.)I have yet to try and raise these brine shrimp into adulthood. If you are looking for a cheap brine shrimp (sea-monkey) refill kit. You could use this and have an endless amount of "sea-monkeys." I took a scoop on the tip of a plastic spoon and ended up with tens if not hundreds of thousands of these guys.

Bought these to use as live fish food. Hatch within a couple days and the fish love them. Great for aquarium owners.

This was just a can of the brine eggs, and definitely didn't match the picture with the little tube. But the products were fresh and plentiful and my fish love it, so all is well. Note that I did buy a separate little Tom's hatchery product to use with this.

These eggs come in a little bag with no label, description, or instructions. I haven't tried to hatch them yet, but it just seems kind of shady.

These are a lot of fun. We used to get them as kids as Sea Monkeys in a little kit and hatch them. Here are a few tips to hatching Brine Shrimp from dried eggs.1. The water needs to be purified (such as bottled water, etc.)2. Use something to detox the water prior to adding the eggs (we use a few drops of Tetra 16837 BettaSafe Water Conditioner)3. Add some salt (these are Brine shrimp after all). I use a little salt that we use for our Neti Pot and that works fine).4. Toss a small amount in and wait about 24 hours. Keep the glass out of the sun lightThey shrimp are very small when first hatched. I use a 30X loupe with a light to see them. Not every single egg will hatch, but you should have pretty good luck if you get the water a bit salty and use a water conditioner designed for fish.

Easily exceeds the 90% hatch rate they advertise. Vastly better than OSI and SF Bay brand. My only concern is shelf life since the eggs come in a plastic baggie rather than vacuum sealed.I use: 2 tablespoons table salt to one teaspoon eggs in one liter hatching cone with aeration at 83 degrees.

It worked well for a science experiment for my grandson. The eggs hatched as advertised and gave the results needed.

Big pack of eggs last a long time. Best hatch rate ever and good people to deal with. Thanks!
