anyone order from them before?
Is 2 day shipping reasonable for brine shrimp? Will the die off be substantial?

Will the die off be substantial? mysterybox 03-19-2009, 2:10 PM it's so easy and cheap to make your own, they hatch in 24-48 hours! stickx911 03-19-2009, 2:11 PM I'm looking for the adult size, or close to. ksauerb322 03-19-2009, 2:11 PM Isn't brine shrimp easy to hatch? Just wondering since I am in need of some pretty soon. stickx911 03-19-2009, 2:12 PM I have a hatchery, So I'll see if my fish will take 'em. But I think I'll need the larger size. stickx911 03-19-2009, 2:13 PM yes, but they're tiny when hatched. They have more nutritional value at that stage, but I'm just trying to get a fish to eat something. And growing them to a larger size takes resources I do not have. Derek_S 03-19-2009, 2:13 PM I dont know what fish you are feeding, but you'd be surprised how much some fish like the BB over the adults. My anthias will eat adults, but they will jump out of the tank for BB. My purple queens which would eat NOTHING would eat BB. Other foods I had luck with on the anthais was artic pods and cyclopeeze, but obviously not live. Must be very tasty though. mysterybox 03-19-2009, 2:15 PM all you need is this: http://www.marinedepot.com/ps_ViewItem~category~San_Francisco_Bay_Brand_Hatch ery_Saltwater_Aquarium_Supplies_Food_Feeding_Equip ment_Brine_Shrimp_Hatcheries~vendor~San_Francisco_ Bay_Brand~SearchStr~brine+shrimp~action~view~idPro duct~SB1113~idCategory~FIFDFEBS.html most lfs carry them! A clean 2 liter bottle make you own saltwater get your own tube of brine shrimp eggs air pump when ready: stop pump shine flashlight near bottom in darkened room shells float & shrimp swim to light fill glass add some water & eggs every day. if u take out enough everyday, same "batch" can be used for a week. Clean container. mysterybox 03-19-2009, 2:17 PM I have a hatchery, So I'll see if my fish will take 'em. But I think I'll need the larger size. most lfs carry them. I know Fishscales & avarium has them. just call first. ksauerb322 03-19-2009, 2:17 PM Yeah what are you feeding? I'm in Stockbridge and have different size mysis and stuff if you want to try a few things. bobz 03-19-2009, 2:49 PM I hatch NHBS every day for the juveniles I am raising. I have not been able to grow them out in any numbers to make it feasible to feed adults to my fish. I buy adult brine shrimp from Sal at SWC or Greg at Optimum and keep them enriched with instant algae (nannochloropsis) and Selcon before feeding to my breeding pairs. stickx911 03-19-2009, 4:09 PM It'll cost more in time and gas to get to one of the stores that regularly sells live brine than it would to order. I'll try the BB for now, sounds like that may be better that I was thinking. I've tried everything frozen cyclopese granules (crushed). The little guy is eating something as he's been alive for a bit, but I cannot get him to eat what I'm feeding. So he's munching on the vanishing hair algae or pods for now, which there is not an unlimited supply of either... |
