Description
Everything you need to hatch live brine shrimp at home, just add an air pump.
Designed specifically for hatching brine shrimp eggs, this hatchery produces a steady supply of live baby brine shrimp, one of the most nutritious and widely accepted first foods for fry, juvenile fish, and shrimp. The suction cup hanger allows the hatchery to be mounted inside an aquarium, using the tank water to stabilize temperature and speed up hatching time in cooler environments. The included check valve protects the air pump from water backflow during use.
We use this hatchery in our fishroom as shown in the photos. Placed in a 5-10g tank, it can double has a fry tank as well as stabilizing the heat for the napulii.
Directions
- Fill the hatchery 90% full with clean water
- Add 10 grams of salt and dissolve thoroughly

The photo of the hatchery you have posted on your site is not the hatchery you sold me. The one you sold me does not work in my hatchery box that I made. The one in your photo does work in my box. If I would have known this,I would not have bought it.

Sorry you feel the hatchery pictured is not what was shipped. The only difference is the airline tubing is now clear instead of blue. Plus it now ships with extra pieces that are optional, as shown in the 2nd image.
