Live baby brine shrimp (BBS) is the #1 fry food used by breeders to grow strong and healthy baby fish. After much testing, we found these high quality BBS eggs with impressive hatch rates and easy harvesting. Get the 10 gram vial or 100 gram can of Brine Shrimp Eggs that comes with a resealable pouch. For hobby-level aquarists, the 100 gram container will last several months when feeding a few aquariums.
Read this article with step-by-step instructions.
Hatching Tips:
— Use Aquarium Co-Op Brine Shrimp Eggs with salt water to make live baby brine shrimp. For the best hatch rates, use Easy Brine Shrimp Salt.
— We recommend using the Ziss brine shrimp hatchery as the hatching container.
— If your water contains chlorine, it is not necessary to use a dechlorinator, as the chlorine will help dissolve the egg casings and will also gas off by the time the shrimp have hatched. If your water contains chloramine, we recommend using water that has been dechlorinated.
— Hatching the eggs at 75–80°F will allow you to harvest 36 hours later. Use a lamp to provide a heat source if needed.
Harvesting Tips:
— Once you have your brine shrimp hatched, remove your air source and let them settle.
— Baby brine shrimp are attracted to light and will move towards it, so we recommend shining a small lamp or flashlight at the bottom of the hatchery to make collection easier.
— Egg shells will float to the top and brine shrimp will go towards the light. Set a timer for 10 minutes, and then open the valve on the hatchery to drain out the live brine shrimp.
— From there, you can rinse your brine shrimp with a brine shrimp net or sieve to remove the salty wastewater. Or you can feed with the salt water to give your plants a boost of nutrients. (Keep an eye on water parameters when using this latter method as regular water changes are recommended.)
— Thoroughly scrub the hatchery and lid with hot water (no soap) before hatching the next batch of eggs. Leftover residue may cause you to have a lower hatch rate next time.
We all have different starting water from our tap, so it is expected that a bit of trial and error is required to reach peak hatching technique with your water and your temperatures. It's a bit like cooking — you can have all the ingredients, but there is a bit of experience needed to achieve the best results.
Storage in Freezer:
It's best to store eggs where they'll be exposed to the least amount of oxygen, humidity, and heat. Eggs need moisture, oxygen, and warmth to start hatching. Most hobbyists keep a small portion of the eggs in a resealable container for easy accessibility and store the rest of the eggs in the fridge or freezer for the long term. If you leave your brine shrimp eggs out, they'll still hatch, but you can see the hatch rate go down over time. In our own testing, eggs sitting in a fish room for months still hatched great, and eggs kept in a fridge for years also hatched well.
At Aquarium Co-Op, we store the cans of eggs in a cooler and ship them this way to help ensure freshness. While not required, we go the extra step. We only want to help prevent them from getting far too hot in a mailbox, which can get well over 100°F. Prolonged exposure to temperatures above 80°F, oxygen, or moisture may start the hatching process. This is a non-issue while shipping, but once you've opened them, the best practice is to store them in the fridge.

From hatch rate to separation and quality these are the best eggs I've used. Even though I have switched many things to the AC Magic Small Fish Feed, I still keep eggs on hand for regular use.

Loved feeding this line/type of Artemia nauplii to my fry. So happy it's finally available again. Yes, it's pricey compared to other brine shrimp cysts, BUT it's totally worth it in my opinion.
My rainbow, ram, angelfish and ancistrus fry seem to grow 5x faster with the addition of A.C.'s brine shrimp in their feedings!

Hands down the best brand! I tried all kinds of brand, but these combined with their bbs salt mix yielded the best hatch rate and separation.

Aquarium Co Op has the best eggs in the industry. Hands down! Specially if you’re using a Ziss Atremia Blender or a similar apparatus. The eggs float so separating the hatched egg case from the shrimp is super easy. They have videos on YouTube explaining the entire process. It’s the way to go if you’re interested in upping your game in aquatics!!

I’ve have been using them for over a year now. Stocked up heavy and put them in the freezer before they went out of stock last year. Thankfully I had enough to last until last month when I ordered 4 more 100 gr cans at an even better price. As always great experience with Aquarium COOP

When they were out of stock I tried a few other companies and the product had low hatch rate or the brine shrimp was extremely small to the point the fish didn't recognize them as a food source. Thanks for providing such a great product. Top Notch!

When I first hatched BBS I used an off brand from eBay because it was cheap. They seemed fine to me. But the brine shrimp were frequently dead at 27 hours of hatch time. My fish still enjoyed them but they didn't jerk around and cause the feeding frenzy. I ran out of those eggs and bought some eggs at a LFS that is a retail partner. Holy cow were these different. The hatch rate appears to be much higher. The BBS are active for much longer and live much longer. I am so glad I made the change. I thought Cory was just hyping his product to sell more. But once again with ACO the hype was real. These truly are much better eggs than the competition. They aren't that much more expensive but are worth way more than the difference I paid.
G
Had great results new at hatching brine shrimp. Hope it will be in stock soon as I didn’t really want to try another brand because the eggs float at the top which makes harvesting so much more efficient.
A
Easily the best brine shrimp eggs on the market! Very easy to hatch ,and high hatch rate! I definitely recommend to anyone that needs brine shrimp.
C
I've been ordering brine eggs for abt 5 months now to feed 100 betta babies. The hatch system is brilliant, easy and has a high hatch rate. I've talked w employees at fishstores in my area and they are amazed that I can get them to hatch. I tell them, Aquarium Co-Op eggs. Over time as the babies have grown, they still look to hunt these baby brine shrimp so I keep hatching w high success. Thank you for the large can size which it perfect for me
V
IMO these brine shrimp eggs have a high hatch rate. I love how well packed they and containers are easily recyclable. But, I wish they were sold in larger quantities and the scoops were optional … maybe even branded. Who needs a new scoop each time you buy a tin?
Z
Having a fish room full of various species of fish, it's handy to be able to hatch a live food like the Aquarium Co-Op Brine Shrimp Eggs. My fish go wild for them, and the high yield makes "the juice worth the squeeze". Check out my video on how I hatch them.
C
I feed all my babies and fish this daily and they grow so quickly and so healthy . I tried other brands and they don’t hatch as well . I highly recommend this and their salt too. It dissolves quickly .
M
Great hatch rate and separation. Fry bellies quickly swell and turn pink. The best fry food.

I bought these eggs over 2 years ago thinking I would be getting the hatchery soon so I put them in the fridge for storage. Well the first of this year I learned on a video of Cory’s that they would last longer in the freezer. I was thinking they were probably no good after 2 years in the fridge but I went ahead and put them in the freezer anyway still planning on getting the hatchery someday well my daughter bought the hatchery for my birthday in May of this year. So I set it up with hopes those eggs were still good well to my surprise they were I hatch twice a week and still have enough to give some to my daughter for her tanks. These are great I highly recommend you give them a try. Thanks Coop for another wonderful product.

These guys are absolutely a pleasure to work with. Fast communication and everything I ordered is A+ quality. Will definitely be a returning customer!
