Baby Brineshrimp Eggs are ideal for producing a fresh supply of live baby brine shrimp for feeding fish fry, juveniles, small fish, and breeding stock. Once hatched, baby brine shrimp provide a highly palatable live food that encourages a strong feeding response and is especially useful when raising young fish.
Simply hatch the eggs in aerated saltwater using a suitable brine shrimp hatchery. For an easy setup, we recommend using Tonic Salt to prepare your hatch water and one of our dedicated brine shrimp hatcheries.
