SFBB Brine Shrimp Eggs 6g

Premium eggs for the best live fry food. SFBB Brine Shrimp Eggs are top-quality cysts harvested from FDA-certified solar salt ponds in the San Francisco Bay, the same eggs breeders have trusted for over forty years. Hatched in salt water, they yield nutrient-rich baby brine shrimp, the ideal first food for fish fry and a live treat for small fish and inverts. This 6 gram vial is sized for small or occasional hatches. New to hatching? The pre-salted Hatch Mix is even simpler.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to add salt?
Yes. These are plain eggs, so hatch them in salt water at about 1 tablespoon of aquarium salt per liter. If you would rather skip measuring, the Hatch Mix comes pre-salted.

What hatches from them?
Baby brine shrimp (nauplii), the top first food for fish fry and a favorite live treat for small fish.

Freshwater or saltwater fry?
Both. You hatch the eggs in salt water, then feed the shrimp to fresh or marine fry.

How should I store them?
Keep the vial cool and dry. Refrigerating or freezing the eggs extends their viability even further.
