How much aeration do you need to hatch Brine shrimp?

Should they be constantly spinning in the eternal vortex of dizziness, or will a little surface agitation suffice?

Yes and no

Deep and coarse.

I use an airline, straight, with a real tumble going.

You can't let the eggs settle to the bottom except at feed time.

I just hatch them in an ice cream container in the hot water cupboard no airation etc.. and they go ok..

What is the best way to buy them (brine shrimp eggs) in NZ?

the best way is buy them in tins.

By tins, do you mean very small containers similar to the ones used to sell flake foods?

The one I have originated in Germany, which does not make sense (Germany not being a brine shrimp producer).

Or, are there any larger "wholesale" kind of tins available? If yes, who would sell them?

By tins, do you mean very small containers similar to the ones used to sell flake foods?

no....tins comes in somewhere around 425 grams.

try contact alan or phill (new zealand discus man)

I have run out of tins for sale.

But then, if you were a member of the NZKA, I know where you could get some from.

No I'm not a member and I do not have any Killies at the moment.

I could go on using the one I have for a while, and then if it goes well, I could perhaps get some Killies ...

It is curious, how people import brine shrimp eggs. It's live animals after all. Do they quarantine tins somehow without opening them? Talking of Killies, one could probably put their eggs in a tin for a while (well, probably not, I do not really know enough about them).
