Planted Aquarium Concepts Brine Shrimp Eggs Golden Lake Artemia

These are the best brine shrimp I have ever used! I breed different freshwater species and had an unexpected spawn of Angels. These brine shrimp started hatching is less than 8 hours! The instructions are a lot more clear than most brands. This is also the most I’ve ever seen my fry eat at once, and this was a fairly small spawn for this pair (about 30-40). I’ll update in a few weeks to see how my other fish like it!

I purchased the 25 grams package. I also purchased the premeasured salt and PH buffer mix with fortifier. Using the recommended .5 tsp eggs, 1 ltr bottled water and 1 package of the premix, I placed in my air stone and a heated light source to maintain proper temp. I have tried now 4 attempts and have few if any eggs hatch. I then tried a decapsulation process, still no hatching. I scrapped the premix and tried just bottled water and sea salt. Still minimal hatch rates. I have had 4 sets of newly hatched Angelfish with NO brine shrimp to feed. The few that hatch are impossible to separate from the unhatched eggs. As recommended product was stored in refrigerator after opening. This product was an epic fail. Bad batch or bad product. I do not know. Thought it was a good product based on other reviews. No such luck here.*******UPDATE*******After seeing my review the seller was very concerned about the experience I had with the product. The promptly issued my a new batch of fresh eggs that had been harvested less than a month prior than my receiving them. It was package well for the weather as I live in Arizona and it was very hot at the time and the eggs needed to be kept cooler. My angelfish had gone into a hiatus in laying eggs so I only recently was able to try and hatch a new batch. I stored the eggs in the refrigerator in the duration. I have had perhaps 60% of the eggs hatch using the same method as above and the pink color I never got the first time trying. Much better than the previous batch but still lower than expected. This could be user error, I am unsure at this point. Perhaps time will tell. Good service in my opinion makes a company great. Thank you for that. I appreciate it.

Couldn't get these to hatch. A lot of wasted eggs. I am very successful with the San Francisco Bay Brine Shrimp Eggs, however. I will write separate review on that order, which I have purchased several times. I use a 1-liter Smart Water bottle, ro/di water, the Bay Brine Hatchery, 1 2/3 tablespoon kosher salt, 3/4 teaspoon baking soda, and a little less than 1/2 teaspoon Bay brine eggs... put in front of a flexible neck lamp directed close to the hatchery which hooks to airline... and I get a ton of eggs in 24 hours. Never lets me down - over a year of hatching for celestial pearl danios, which I am breeding successfully. However, this brand let me down. Perhaps i got a bad batch, but I reordered San Francisco Bay Brand and works like it always does... successful production.

Bought this product due to it being a few dollars less than my regular bbs, it seemed to have good reviews and a good hatching rate. NOT! I’m an axolotl breeder so my bbs basically keep me running, without it I’ll lose all my axolotls. Which is what I’m running into now! These bbs take 36 or more hours it seems to have hatched, and when you try to harvest them any earlier all you’ll get are the eggs... when the bbs are hatched however and it’s time for feeding they are all dead. I need live hatchlings as the axolotls require movement. So now I am in a frantic pinch as I can’t have my axolotls not eat a day or two, they need fed every two days. I will never ever buy this again and warn you not to as well. Very disappointing.

Thought I would try another brand just for kicks. Well, that was a waste of time, money, electricity, bubbles and salt. I even tried another run with the recommended "recipe" off the pouch. Nope, terrible results. Even after 36, 48 and 60 hours. The few that did hatch, were dull in color. If fish could talk, they would probably ask for lemon and cocktail sauce to make them more palatable!I have been feeding my fish live brine shrimp for over four decades. I have a very unique custom rig I made that works incredibly well. I have been using SFbay shrimp for quite some time and I get a filter full of bright red/orange writhing shrimp in less than 24 hours then, filter out the stragglers about 18 hrs later. PH 7.8 (I use baking soda but, still get about same results at ~7.2+) - Temp 80-81f - 1 Gallon water with ~1/2 ml of API Stress Coat, 50g pink sea salt and 64g sea salt. My "Shrimpination" rig circulates them between light and dark continuously. I reuse the water 3 more times before feeding it to my palm tree. Then I sterilize everything with StarSan and go again. Been working perfectly, like clockwork.Just get a different brand. I have had very consistent results with the SFbay's and my fish go ballistic over them. I'll stick with that brand. Why fix it if it isn't broken.. right? Someday I'll learn..

I have a brine hatchery *which is way more in depth than you need to go to hatch brine* I altered the parameters to match exact with the instructions that comes with these eggs followed instructions to the letter and not a single batch hatched . I didn't even see one random brine swimming I had a 0% hatch rate for this reason I gave this product a 1 star too bad there isn't a 0. I have hatched brine with great success for years sadly my mistake was trying to go for a diff vendor. don't buy this.

It's definitely not 90% hatch rate as describe. Less than a fourth of the eggs hatched after 3 days. I followed the instructions included and I even added an airstone to circulate the water. Maybe it needs to be in direct sunlight? But it only mentions "lighted area" so it's sitting next to my fish tank that is lighted 50% of the time. Anyways, 2 stars since some did hatch.

Really bad rate born brined shrimp. They said 90%, but is not true, I have experienced more than 10 years with breeding fishes and this product only 20 , maximum 40% born, is really bad product. I will not buy never again.Really bad product.
