Does anybody still hatch there own Brine Shrimp? Melev, I was reading on your site that you once did.

I was thinking of buying a cheap hatchery and adding them to my tank once in a while.

    i actually have not done that in about 4 months but I used to do it about once every couple of weeks and I am thinking of hatching them again to feed to corals. The entire set up is fairly inexpensive and they are ready to feed to the tank fairly quickly.

    It's pretty easy to do. And I may be hatching some again soon because I'm getting ready to start breeding some clownfish very soon. I have too many projects to do at the same time. Just bought my plane ticket to MACNA tonight, and that's less than 2 months away. Will baby clowns be okay with me gone for a few days? Hmm.

    melev my biggest concern with leaving baby clowns for a couple days is the fouling of water from the inevitable death of whatever the survival percentage is of baby clownfish

    If the water volume was big enough, they may be okay as it wouldn't get as polluted. But... is that realistic?

    Marc - you don't need to hatch brine. Just go straight from rots and start weening onto Otohime A at 5 days. I think they would be ok for your time at MACNA as long as you arent staying an extended time or they are extremely young. I would increase your water volume and get an autofeeder (I used Eheim and it worked well for powder sized feed). If you have a dosing pump you could rig it to dose a Cloram-X while you are gone.
