Are they for hatching? Aquatics Online do them
Or if they are for direct feed to the fish, Ta-Aquaculture do the dried decapsulated brine shrimp eggs. |

They are crap. Hatch rate of about 10% for me. Just buy the dried shelled ones. Theres loads of guided on the internet for making your own hatchery and it takes seconds to make and a day to dry.
There are many designs. This one works fine for me... DIY Shrimp hatcher They say the bonuses of getting shellless mean no disease, no fish dieing cuz of choking on the shells, etc etc, but i been making my own for years and never had a problem.

Hi tropicalgirl2007
 Since you're in the UK, you might want to check with one of our long time members, BigC. I understand he enjoys an excellent reputation for his fish foods. http://www.fishforums.net/user/12235/View-Member-Profile/ |

Decapsulated Brine Shrimp is a poor hatcher due to the process of removing the shell, if unchecked the process can go over 40c which will damage the nuplii inside.
However some expensive decapsulated Brine Shrimp state that it's fine to be hatched, Both can be found on ebay, Tim Addiss (Ta-Aquaculture ) may do both but not sure if he'll guarantee hatching decapsulated Brine Shrimp. But if it's just normal decapsulated Brine Shrimp then TA will be fine and his postage is very goos as I got stuff before from him |

The stuff i bought was guaranteed 90% success, should have got my money back come to think of it lol. The plus side is that you can still feed the eggs as they are.
