Hey Neil , Good luck with the new batch . Not to be pushy but you should not need to de-capsulate the brine shrimp eggs . If you are using the pop bottle method the shrimp and shells are completely separated when you allow the hatched shrimp to syphon out of the bottom airline leaving the shells on the top of the water ! If you want to make absolutely certain shine a light at the bottom of the bottle ,as the shrimp are attracted to the light.
Hope the last little guy survives.

When I was breeding angels, austrialian rainbows I used the capsulated . as far as I remember the decaps would not hatch.

To avoid getting shells in your live BBS I turned off the air for about 20 mins or so. then I turned on a light near the base(already had a hard air tube in to syphon out the BBS) the shells will float to the surface. never had any problems with shells.


I too used a 2l pop bottle. I drilled the hole through the ca which was no the bottom. inserted a rigid airline tube in and siliconed it.


Good luck

Jim
