brime shrimp

i just bought a brime shrimp hatchery to mess around with and was wanting to know if any body has any luck with these or weather they are a waste of time.

You have to wait for a day for them to hatch but once you put them in your tank your fish/inverts/corals will go crazy. It's fun to watch them eat and chase after all of the tiny brine shrimp. It is also very nutritious for the fish as well. So yes, it is worth the time.

Go to this link and it will help. It is a page by Melev that gives step by step instructions for hatching brine shrimp.

I noticed the just uses an old 2 littler bottle and a pump..I'm assuming he just drilled a small hole through the cap to put in the air hose?

And if you want to grow them out to adult. Low densities can be managed with little work, but high densities require a fair bit of labour.
