I went to PSP and got some brine shrimp eggs. I made my own hatchery out of two old two littler bottles, air stone, tubing, and a small pump. I'll let you know how it goes in 24-48 hours :)

I'll try. I'm not sure of the quality of the eggs at PSP....

I found this site here that looks like they have good hatch rates:

Well I was leading into getting some of the decapsulated ones from BS Direct.

But I suppose if you guys wanna eat them, the shells might add to the flavor!

To feed my fish. With the sacs attached the food is the best!!!

How do you know when they hatch?

It all looks the same as it did last night.

I'm hoping to save this batch. I put in a small 50W heater to keep it at around 79F. We'll see.

The fish are now FAT and very very happy. I think they ate a few million apiece. They are loving eatchother right now and doing laps around the tank. Ahhhh finally fish that live.
