Well, 5 more bodies.
I was finally able to count. 15 left but at least most of them are looking strong. still happy with the results I am going to start another batch of brine shrimp and I will try feeding them tomorrow. Wish me luck They are definitely getting bigger. Much easier to see their features now Neal

If you follow the Talkingreef Podcast, there is a instructional video on brine shrimp. I'm sorry I was't able to find the link!

day 16 - 15 Nov 06
I thought things were going smooth a couple of days ago. I had no deaths for that day.
However, there has been a couple of major setbacks yesterday and today. yesterday, the brine shrimp that I had attempted to hatch didn't hatch so I had no fresh hatched brine shrimp to feed them. I lost 5 yesterday. And over last night, the airpump vibrated itself off the table and the air hose came out of the bowl. I lost another 4 this morning. I now have 2 left. The good news, the male looks like he is ready to pop again and I think there is going to be alot more this time as he is getting really big. So, I am going take this as a learning experience and move on with the next batch.

I would say 16 days was a good effort . Make sure you brine shrimp eggs are from a reliable source. You should have no problem hatching them .I used to have two bottles on the go which gave me a continuous supply.
Two teaspoons of sea salt per bottle ,good aeration. I stood the bottles in a small tank with a heater in to ensure correct temp and got at least 80 %-90% hatch rate. Keep trying

Well I have 1 left.
looking good. and I also now have another batch of about 50 more babies to attempt to raise again. (born Friday) Man, this is going to be alot of work. I am going to try to learn how to decapsulate the brine shrimp as I think that may have been why a couple of them died from eating the shell wish me luck with this new batch. Neal
