Hi Mark, followed your instructions and have been harvesting adult brine shrimp for month's now. All I have to do is feed them and a water change now and again. Now have an endless supply of brine shrimp. Great for conditioning fish to breed. Great video

been looking for a video about breeding brine shrimp for hours. This was the only relevant and informative one i could find...finally. Thank you so much for posting this!

The man even makes brine shrimp look fun :) Need more room for tanks damnit....."sorry wife we have to throw the settee away" :) Smashing Video again

This is the most complete guide for hatching and growing brine shrimps! Thank you, I learnt a lot!

What I find so cool and so engaging about Mark is his attitude toward life. He has the camera on a small volume of aquarium water of perhaps ~ 60 cu.in. of habitat, and he sees an absolute universe of life. He meticulously points everything out to you. Amazing. What I've always experienced, wonderful. My kinda person. This dude's in-touch. Sensitive. Competent. Responsible. Honest. Learned. Sincere. Not-too-much. I don't want his head to get too big. It is true though. I'm very impressed. I've not seen the likes of him anywhere on the net. He is very good at hands-on plain this-is-how-you-do-it step by step easy very well shown illustrated procedure. Excellent. Mark, write some bloody books man ! Thank you so very much. Your worth more than you know, believe me. I've kept fish since 1968.

Best video I've seen on brine shrimp. Thanks for your help!

Great help thanks dude. Your puffer videos have got my little chaps thriving aswell. Bless

Finally the video I was looking for! Thanka

Absolutely Wonderful, best explanation I've seen so far!

I was so inspired by this video I recently remember I had a vile of brine cysts sitting in the fridge for the last 4-5 years grabbed a shot glass some salt water from the reef and a old halogen lamp. Sure enough little buggers swimming around. no air. I seeded some into the refugium which has a bunch of other pods in there some quite big under magnification. Really a wonderful and insightful video sir !

I've been waiting for this video for a while.

The best fish keeping channel on You Tube...I have watched nearly every video you have on your channel info is great and educational just love it all....and the searching for wild foods and critters is great...just retired and have set up 2- 65 gallon freshwater second tank is everything from the lakes and rivers around me thanks to you Mark your the best thankyou

Always enjoy your videos mate. Thanks!

Who is giving thumbs down to this channel? Baffled!!! Excellent video.

All the gear for my first hatchery arrived this morning, spent some time today Googling how to keep them once they're hatched and then this video comes out. Absolutely perfect timing. Cheers Mark.

Cheers mark. Certainly will give this a go. Love your show.

Brilliant Mark hatch BBS all the time never taken it a stage further, will definitely give it a go. Love to you and yours

Thank you Mark. My Bbs already hatched today.Really helpful to keep into adult. No need to speed money to buy an eggs anymore😄😄😄 *Love from Malaysia*

thank you sir for the in depth procedure for what I wanted to do with the brine eggs I have and hoped to raise to feed betta. You hit every point needed to perfection. great job, thanks.

Really helpful, thank you. Particularly the tip about harvesting by putting a flashlight up to the bottle when it's dark so the shrimp swarm to it.

Brilliant video as always Mark Love it

Damn awesome video Mark. Just the information I was looking for, thanks heaps

This is a highly informative video, I will definitely try this. Brine shrimp eggs are not cheap in my place so I may be able to cut cost with this method. Adult brine shrimp also looks really cool. Thank you very much!

Great information! I've seen plenty of videos showing how to hatch the eggs, but very few on raising them beyond that stage. Thanks for the help; I'll be setting up a hatchery soon.

Thanks so much. Doing this with my daughter - so fun. Thanks

Thank you sir. My Apistagrama are going to love this.

Thank You Mark, fabulous vid learned so much 👍

Excellent videos with so much information, thank you, such a great help

I just tried this last week. Went well until my 4 yr old son threw the entire bag of baker yeast into the tub... :)

Hi Mark Could you do a video on how you siphon out water when doing water changes and how do you mix and keep salt water for replacing the water after w/c?

Really helpful, Mark! Thank you!!!

First viewing MARK'S nice one happy viewing 😊

Thank you for sharing! I will be giving it a try!

What a brilliant video. Many thanks. 👍🙏

Wow! Thank you . . . just what I was looking for. I want to keep my Sea Monkeys as pets. I've purchased an independent batch of brine shrimp eggs so I can do a bigger tank. I just subscribed.

Very lovely video. Been wanting to grow some up in a spare tiny tank to keep as pets.

This is very educational !

Perfect tutorial 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

awesome channel, very informative. I'm going to start working on breeding tetras and brine shrimp soon

"okay" the new drinking game...

Thank you that was very imformitive, loved it.

Super cool. Love the video! I’m still in the baby phase but hoping I’ll get to your stages eventually. Thanks a bunch.

Every single video of yours is full of fascinating stuff with high quality camera work and great narration. Thank you Mark! You never fail to amaze us.

This was extremely useful! thanks for sharing!

Thank you very much for this video.

I tried to raise them up for my bigger fish, but I failed. I'll give it another try after watching this. I still have the eggs.

Very interesting! I hatch brine shrimp all the time but I always feed them right away. If I ever raise some to adulthood I'll be sure to come back to this video. Thanks for posting this.

Very good information. Now I know why all my baby brine shrimps died because I put too many in a tank. Thank you!

Excellent video!!!

Great video! Never seen the stages of brine shrimps. Thank you.

This is so informative!!! Fantastic reporting; I enjoy this kind of content!🌻🌼🐝

Great video. Thank you.

Thank you Mark 👍🏿

Thanks for all the time and quality information. I'm starting to breed betta for the first time ever. I need all the info I can get about cultures.

Thanks for the informative video. Need to start hatching brine shrimp for the baby guppies. This setup looks pretty easy with minimal expense. Going to use this technique. Thanks again and take care.

Great bunch of info ,👍😉

Great information thanks

Great video Mark! I was looking for some information on how to raise brine shrimp for my baby newly hatched Cory Doras.

Great video Mark. You know I always learn something from you.

Fyi- PPT is Parts per Thousand btw. No biggie since alot of people don't really care about these details. Great channel btw, keep up the great work!

thank you, great video!

this was very informative

Thanks very much ,you are great

Hi Mark another great one keep up the good work. Look forward to my notification of another video of great ideas and helpful hints. Thank you

Very good tutorial. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for this one mark 👊🏻🙌🏼 We bought official branded sea monkeys for the kids. Put the little tank in my boys room next morning they had been knocked all over the floor... 🙄🤣 I have fish tanks anyway and had always fancied hatching my own and feeding live food so I bought a puch of brine shrimp eggs on amazon, hatched a million eggs, fed majority but I want to raise a few for the kids in a little 14 litre tank. Thanks for the step by step guide mate 😁

The intro is vibey mate.

This is very cool. I had some I forgot in a container and they grew into adults! Just checking to see if that was really the brine shrimp

really cool, Mike, will try with rock salt. thanks

سلامى لك اخى الكريم و للاخ ابو محمد من مصر . شكرا على الشرح الوافي و ادام الله العراق العظيم

Dam man this was Fantastic!

amazing info

Well, that's what i wanted ti see, thank you very much for explaining this to us and espwcially to me, it was always easy to hatch them and to feed fish day or two but problem was to keep them alive longer then 5-6 days, i did it only once and with obly one single shrimp alive for 5 weeks it grow up to 13-14mm long and was vwry interesting to watch it in ball aquarium swimming around.... But id end up like all others before him at the end...

I didn't think raising brine would be difficult. I am subscribed to your channel because you explain things in a very simple way. I will give an update about the eggs I just put into the tank.

That was awesome I feel like there was some pointers left out because I know I’m going to fail at it but great video I really enjoyed it

Hi Mark I failed a few times, mostly didn't care about temperature,salty water and food, watched again and again video think brine shrimps are amazing themselves,can grow it as aquarium critters, not only as food thank you 👍!!!

Thank you for this! What frequency of feeding do you recommend, for each life stage?

Really great video Mark, I was wondering if you have any suggestions on how to collect the eggs? I was thinking siphoning with a small net attached to keep the adults out? Have a great time!

what a lad! thank you for this - hopefully my brine shrimp survive longer this round

Awesome 👌

Please make more videos and updates, it's fantastic content

Fasaniting stuff 👍🏼 the adults look like little Allen's 👽

thank you

This is fantastic stuff. I’m looking into starting my own hatchery for brine shrimp to feed my reef tank. Instead of using a filter, would doing weekly water changes be enough to keep the adult tank going?

Thank you seemonkeys..your great ...one question..how do they get the eggs what you buy the thing you start with....is it dried out..??

Awesome, Ive always wanted to breed brine shrimp but the eggs at my local pet store is a bit pricey. O and almost at 20K!!!

Hay mark did you use a new sponge fillter or a cycled sponge fillter?

Hey Mark, following your awesome instructions, my BS are now 8 days old, is it normal for them to seem less active at this stage? (still constantly moving but noticeably slower) thanks.

Hi Mark great video. But I’m getting some dead brine shrimp from Day 3. Not sure what I’m doing wrong. May I know the TDS reading of your water that you were bringing them on in? Also do you never turn the light off? Thanks

By the way he says what he uses to feed them at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="696">11:36</a> also it’s spiriluna powder

Nice vid!

Hiya Mark, where did you buy your eggs from? And how do you do watch changes? And how often do you feed them?

Wow that so amazing. I rlly wanna try this. I see some red and others white. Could you tell me how you got some adults different colours ????😊😄

Hi Mark, i followed this video to the T and afraid after a week, my bbs havent grown at all and from a few thousand, only got a few that have survived, salinity checks out as per your recommendation, separate tank with air filter etc, any idea what may have gone wrong? Does the light need to be on all the time? How much do you feed them each day or only once a day? Did you use normal tap water or RO water in your tank? Thanks for the great videos

Hi there what do you do with the rest of the brine shrimp in the red pot when the other to tanks are going thankyou for video (se london )😀

I have a question about air flow at the different life stages... I’ve managed to hatch mine, and I’ve moved them into a slightly bigger tank with an air pump, but the air pump is pretty fast... if it’s too fast will it kill the babies?

Super excited Mark. Thank you so so much. Gr8 information Do you do any water changes and if the water evaporates do you top up with plain water? How often do you feed spirulina? When u mixup the spirulina in tube do you store in fridge? How long do you grow them up until you feed it? Do you restart culture or Its self sustaining after 2 weeks?

sorry for noob question but if im just starting to RO my water do i have to remineralise on the first or second water change on a raw tapwater tank?

One batch every 3-6 days and havent been able to get past the Nauplii stage. When they start to die off i feed as many as i can get out to the fish and restart. I'm using two glass flower vases that are rounded, no corners. Temps vary, 70-81, heat pad. Mini air pump working, had it with an air stone, it was going a fair bit. Just now removed the stone and tied two loose knots. Now at a constant stream of bubbles with small gaps between, they follow single file. No issues hatching. After 3 or so days remove eggshells. Day two/three start sprinkling in a tiny bit of powder from Algae thins by top fin. Has wheat flour, spirulina, yeast and other additives. Going to try switching to straight spirulina powder now, but this food has had them last the longest. Some natural light, mostly a regular bulb thats lighting up the room. Keep the eggs in the freezer and do the 1 to 2 TBSPs of salt per vase. Just ordered a sponge filter to put on the end of it. When I think they need a water change i will switch to the other vase. I account for salt I did or did not wipe off from the sides when adding more. Add a half turkey baster of my aquarium water as well so that there are bacteria. (Am now trying it). And try to keep a similar temp when moving. Ideas? Thanks all x

This was great. I felt discouraged from several failed attempts to get these goddamn little buggers to grow out. At least they're super cheap. I'll try again. Thank you!
