Brine shrimp direct

Is that good quality?
I ordered some place before it comes lots of shell with bbs
That make hard to feed baby clown

I use the Hatching Shell Free Brine Shrimp Eggs - E-Z Egg 400 ml. for my clowns as they have no shell and they work very good, more spendy because of the no shell but you get alot with that.

I would order the regular shelled shrimp but i'm to lazy to decap. them myself even though it don't take long.

have heard great results with the Premium Grade Brine Shrimp Eggs also the 1lb would last you easily over 1-2 years depending on how much breeding you do.

I also use Brine Shrimp Direct. I coincidently received an order in the mail today for the Hatching Shell Free BSE. They come in a refrigerated container that all you do is add some of the eggs and salt to a liter of water add an airline and in 12-24 hours you have worry free baby brine shrimp all ready to feed your little clowns.

Thanks for good information.

decapping isn't very hard, though, if you want to save some money. In addition, I've found you can refridgerate the decap'd eggs for at least a week, and you can refridgerate newly hatched brine for a few days as well. It is handy to work from a small store, in case something goes wrong with a batch.. or so you don't have to always have two batches going at once to keep up with demand. You can find procedures online for any of the above mentioned techniques. Oh - and learn from the lesson I learned - don't do your decapsulating of the eggs (you use bleach) IN your fish room/near your tanks and/or rotifer buckets. Do it somewhere like in the kitchen away from all that

Can you tell me how to decapsulating eggs?

Here are some good instructions.
http://www.killies.com/Decapsulating.htm

I used a standard little water bottle and cut the bottom off (and place the cap end upsidedown in the base that was cut off), and added an airline intput into the cap to make my little decapping chamber. Just like you would a 2 liter bottle for hatching brine shrimp.

Step 1) hydrate eggs by bubbling them in (tap water is fine) water for about an hour
Step 2) add bleach and continue to let them bubble (for somewhere near 10 minutes - the more concentrated your bleach is the less time this will take). You are looking for a color change from brownish-grey - to more of an orange tint to the eggs.
Step 3) filter and rinse the eggs
Step 4) neutralize the bleach then rinse some more
Step 5) add concentrated decap'd eggs to saltwater solution and store in fridge (up to maybe two weeks)

I've found that it doesn't take much quantity of eggs to hatch a lot of shrimp. My batches consisted of a small scoop of eggs, and the decapped eggs would last at least a week, maybe two in the fridge (stored in salt water). To use them, just shake to stir, then pour a measured amount into your prepared hatching chamber.

You'll have to play with volumes of eggs and can tweak the amount of bleach used for your liking.
