Zev Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 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. Alan 104 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alextret Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 What is the best way to buy them (brine shrimp eggs) in NZ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiuh Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 the best way is buy them in tins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alextret Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 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?

Alan Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 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. Alan 104 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alextret Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 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).
