Hatching Brine Shrimp Eggs–Easy Method

For several years, I have been using my new easy “dish method” for hatching brine shrimp eggs.  No air pumps. No daily saltwater preperation and disposal.  The dish method works perfectly for my small-scale setup–feeding a couple of batches of guppy fry and juveniles. My previous (2020) article ‘Hatching and Culturing Brine Shrimp (Artemia)’ describes various hatching methods.  However, it does not include the dish method, which I had not yet developed.  It is by far the easiest.  Enjoy!

Dish Setup– Eggs stay on right side. After hatching, nauplii will swim to left side.
