Use these eggs along with saltwater to make live baby brine shrimp. These are used to refill the brine shrimp hatchery.
Into a container add 1 quart (1 liter) of water, add 1 teaspoon of brine shrimp eggs, plug in air pump to start aeration, after 1 hour of rehydration add 2 tablespoons of aquarium (rock) salt and keep aeration on. Keep temperatures between 80-82 degrees F (26-28 degrees C), maintain a pH of 8.0 or above and eggs should hatch in 24-36 hours. After eggs hatch turn off aeration, direct a light source at the bottom, wait 5-10 minutes for shells to float to top and baby shrimp to swim to bottom. Remove airline at pump end. Keeping above water surface, slowly lower airline and siphon water into fine net. Rinse shrimp under fresh water and feed to fish.

Brine shrimp eggs.

I got the baby brine shrimp (BBS) hatchery that is also sold in Aquarium Co-Op and had no problems hatching them. For a 1 liter bottle, I use 1 Tbsp of aquarium salt, a pinch of baking soda, and 1/4 to 1/2 tsp of BBS eggs. Use an air pump to keep the water bubbling and a desk lamp to keep the temperature at 80-82 degF. After 24 hours, I collect the hatched BBS and scrub out the hatchery with hot water. To keep the eggs lasting longer, I refrigerate the container but I've heard you can also freeze them.
I'm sure they're fine but are a little complicated for me to get started right now. I don't have a good set up for them.

Live Arrival Guarantee
We guarantee our live products will arrive alive. We ask that you do your part and minimize the amount of time our packages sit out in the elements. It can also be a good idea to avoid ordering live items during extreme temperatures. This would be when night time temps are below 35 and over 80 degrees during the day. Now these temps are not for sure death, it's just what makes it easiest for all of us during shipping.
When temperatures are cold we will use heat packs and extreme cold styrofoam liners. Shipping live goods is difficult as our warehouse could be 70 degrees and your home could be snowing, and all the stops in between. We do our best and will make it right for you and may request to try again at a different time. During heat waves, it's best to avoid ordering live goods as ice packs etc don't do enough to mitigate it.Â

If you would like to return a product, start the process by emailing us at shipping@aquariumcoop.com This allows us to see if there is something we can do before returning the product such as a feature you didn’t know about or send you a return label.

Please do not call the retail store as they operate separately from the warehouse and will not be able to issue you a return label etc.
