FAQs

Can I Breed Brine Shrimp?
Yes! While many customers buy brine shrimp eggs regularly, it is possible to breed them and reduce the need for new purchases. Aquabuy offers a detailed manual on how to grow brine shrimp to breeding size.

Can Decapsulated Brine Shrimp Eggs Hatch?
No, decapsulated brine shrimp cysts cannot hatch. Any reported low hatch rates (under 0.5%) are due to:

  1. Un-decapsulated eggs accidentally mixing into the batch.
  2. Decapsulation not fully removing the shell.

Decapsulated eggs are intended as a direct fish food, not for hatching.

How Large Are Brine Shrimp?

  • Adult males: 8–10mm.
  • Adult females: 10–12mm.
  • Freshly hatched nauplii: Approximately 450 nanometers.

Are Brine Shrimp a Good Food Source for Fish?
Absolutely! Brine shrimp offer significant advantages over flakes or pellets:

  • As live food, they enrich the tank environment by encouraging natural hunting behavior.
  • They are highly nutritious and suitable for both tropical and marine fish.
