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.
The Best Food for Small Fish
Live baby brine shrimp is the best food you can offer growing fry for most species of fish. Their movement triggers the natural hunting instinct in fish and helps fish eat more than dry foods. Virtually all baby fish thrive on baby brine shrimp. A majority of adult community fish — such as tetras, rasboras, danios, apistos, rams, angelfish, livebearers and more — will readily chase down every brine shrimp they can. With baby fish, you can see their pink-orange bellies as they fill up with baby live brine shrimp.
Hatching Eggs is Simple
Hatching the eggs is a simple process of adding 1 tablespoon of salt per liter of water and then adding the brine shrimp eggs. People often start with 1 teaspoon of eggs per liter of water and adjust the amount based on the number of tanks they have. For the best yield, keep temperatures between 75–80°F and harvest at 36 hours. (Hatchery in picture holds 2 liters.)
Legendary Egg Separation
Once you have your brine shrimp hatched, remove your air source and let them settle for 10 minutes. 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.
Little Shrimps for Little Mouthes
Baby brine shrimp is the preferred food used by fish breeders. Its small size means most fish can eat them after hatching as a first food. Community aquariums love this as a treat, and breeders love it for it good baby fish growth. Feeding to adult fish even a couple times per week can encourage better colors and spawning activity.
Keep Your Eggs Fresh
Our eggs are packed with a triple seal. After scooping out the eggs you need, squeeze the air from the bag before resealing it. Then place in the freezer. The metal can helps keep the bag from getting punctured by another frozen item in the freezer.
I wish they were able to keep these going they have been my favorite brine shrimp eggs to use the hatch rate is amazing and the separation is unmatched.

Must have for the fish room!
Awesome for all my fish. Everything up through adult angelfish love eating them. I use the Ziss hatcher (follow the co-op instructions for set up by not putting on air stone) and it's super easy to hatch and grow.

Brine Shrimp Eggs
Wow! These things are fabulous! It looks like most/all hatched, and my fish gobbled them all up quite enthusiastically! Even my very picky betta loved them. :) HIGHLY RECCOMEND!!! (I used your brine shrimp salt too.) Thanks Aquarium Co-op!

Great Food! Easy to hatch!
These work really well and as long as water temp is 76+ they should hatch. Be mindful of fridge shelf life but if you use them daily they’re great!

Great hatch rate
They work great. Currently raising red and blue dragon guppy fry on this. They're always happy to see more put into the tank.

Aquarium COOP brine shrimp eggs
I need a decent amount of baby brine shrimp to feed my fish fry and to condition the adults. The large can from the COOP fills the bill. Good hatch rate and decent price .
