Brine Shrimp Eggs
As San Francisco Bay Brand says right on the package – “Hatch your very own live fish food!” Aquarium fish – tropical freshwater or marine fish – go crazy for live brine shrimp and these critters are a great source of natural proteins and lipids and will promote color in most species. Plus, it’s fun to hatch sea monkeys.
To hatch shrimp use a couple tablespoons of kosher or marine salt to one quart of water, keep it aerated with an air stone, and let the sea monkey games begin. Brine shrimp eggs are quite stable and have a shelf life of three years without impairment of the hatching process.

Easy to hatch and the shrimp are active and healthy. My betta fish loves them and the tank looks more vibrant now.
Joshua Mackenzie –
Got the eggs for my reef tank. Hatched well after a few days with a small air stone. The shrimp are small but very lively.

Perfect for beginners. Followed the instructions and had a full batch of live shrimp in two days. Great for feeding fish and watching them swim.
