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.
Best quality eggs bar none. I’ve tried others online and it’s night and day. I get something close to 100% hatch rate with these. Very good quality and frankly if they stop selling them I’m not sure what I’ll do going forward.

Great Quality
I bought a 10g container of these brine shrimp eggs a year and 1/2 ago and have slowly been using it up since then. I have tried multiple different ways to hatch baby brine from DIY hatcheries to the Ziss hatchery. I suggest anyone who hasn't hatched baby brine to save some time and just buy the hatchery. I have found the best results by using 1 tablespoon of salt for every liter of water. Anyways I've been using this brand of baby brine pretty much since I started in the hobby and my community tank loves it too. I highly recommend this product and will be buying it again.

There are NONE Better
I bought a can of eggs, and the Ziss system from my local RSS here in Maine and I was BLOWN away. I have tried so so so many brands from Amazon and local stores and nothing matched the hatch rate and more importantly, the egg separation as the Co-op eggs. Not even close. Such an awesome product. I wouldn't consider buying any other !

Best I've used
All of my fish absolutely love these. All of them not just the small ones.
