Pet Forum / Aquaria / Cichlids / July 2006

im not sure what has went wrong, i do have a book i bought at the book
store that has that same way of hacthing brine shrimp

as follows:
Constrution:

1: with a sharp knife or scissors remove the bottom 4" from 2 liter
plastic soft drink bottle. this will form the stand

2: screw the cap on the top portion of the bottle and invert it into the
stand you have just made

3:insert into the top portion of the bottle a length of flexible air
line tubing.

Use:

1: add the proper amount of water, salt, and eggs as specified on the
egg container

2: turn up the air eoungh to keep all the eggs in suspention during the
hatching process (24-48 hours depending on the temperature)

Collecting the shrimp:

1:remove the air line the egg shells will gradually float, and the
shrimp will settle to the bottom of the hatcher.

2: using a piece of air line tubing,s iphon the shrimp through a fine
mesh brine shrimp net (avial at pets stores)

3: rinse the shrimp to remove excess salt and feed to your fish

i have not tried this yet so im not sure how it works, it looks to be a
little diffrent but not much then what that website says, just thought
id let u hear this one, hope it works for you
came out of a book called "cichlids"  by barron's, very good book,
explains alot about cichlids
