SFBB Brine Shrimp Hatch Mix (3-Pack)

Hatch the best first food for fish fry, the easy way. SFBB Brine Shrimp Hatch Mix takes the guesswork out of raising live baby brine shrimp. Each pack includes three pre-measured packets of premium San Francisco Bay brine shrimp eggs blended with the exact salts needed, so you just add water. Newly hatched baby brine shrimp are loaded with protein, and their tiny size and wiggling motion trigger a strong feeding response in fry and small fish. Hatch them in a Hatchery Kit or Shrimpery, or skip hatching with Instant Baby Brine Shrimp.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Hatch Mix for?
It lets you hatch your own live baby brine shrimp, the ideal first food for fish fry and a favorite treat for small fish and inverts.

Do I need special equipment?
A simple hatchery like the SFBB Hatchery Kit or Shrimpery makes it easy, but any container with gentle aeration will work.

Freshwater or saltwater fry?
Both. Baby brine shrimp are a universal first food for freshwater and marine fry alike.

How should I store the packets?
Keep them in a cool, dry place. Sealed brine shrimp eggs stay viable for a long time.
