According to this I am doing it all wrong! I dont care I suppose as I am getting good results and I am not going to count them to see what percentage hatch rate I am getting. I get plenty so maybe I will stick with my Kiwi version rather than mix heaps of chemicals together.

Good website though. Thanks for the link.

Did you check out the price of the eggs.Me and a friend of mine buy one pound of brineshrimp premium eggs for $87 and half it.

I use rock salt for my hatch mix.2 heaped teaspoons in a 750ml jam jar.Moderate airation.

If that dosn't work try a bit of baking soda to help raise the PH.

Don't use table salt, you will have bad hatches.Iodine kills the nuplii.

I hatch about a teaspoon of eggs a day in the 750 ml jar.

I feed all my guppies especially gravid female adults brineshrimp.I feel and have noticed the fry are larger when the female drops.

I have 5 lines of guppies and my fighters as well, if I didn't have access to cheap eggs it would be very difficult to raise them all.

have u been buy eggs from there peter?

a friend of mine tryed and could not get them passed

casson.

Chris had another pound arrive on friday.

When I contacted Brinshrimp direct they said there had been problems sending them to NZ in the past but they have been sending eggs through for the last 6 months or so without any trouble.

I do not own a credit card so chris orders them and I pay him back.

Hi cat

I could not see "mixing heaps of chemicals" . It was their analysis. The hatchrate depends mainly of the egg quality. I bought a "loose" quantity from a LFS, then a blisterpacked version. The hatchrate difference was enormous. The loose ones were much better. Almost 90%. Correct amount of salt, 27°. No airation, just a small hatch-box. But it still comes down to the quality of the eggs.
