DIY brine shrimp hatchery

Tocs1001 · 04-15-2005, 09:17 PM

I am looking forward to breeding guppies an I know that bbs are good food for the fry so I bought an air pump, tubing and an aircontrol station. I took a mason jar and folowing the tutorial http://www.cichlid-forum.com/article...p_hatchery.php and did the thing and the jar is bubbling the salt is in but there is a little pile of eggs collecting at the bottom is that a problem?

I didn't read the links so i don't know if they mentioned this but i hear there is a way to remove brime shrimp shells from their eggs and just use that as food. I has something to do with counterering the shell which is a base substace with a form of acid which conters and destroys the base (egg shell) just like putting a chicken egg in vinager for a few days the egg becomes foam on the top of the cup and leaves a small sack containing the white and yolk. pretty cool
