Decapsulating Brineshrimp Eggs

[BigC]

I was trawling the net as usual and I came across this interesting topic. As I use quite a lot of brineshrimp eggs I think I might give it a trial run. Has anyone on the forum tried this, and if so, were the results favourable. Either way I just thought I'd share...

I decapsulate-always. It seems to make them hatch much quicker.

You can also buy pre-decapsulted eggs if you're lazy like me. It's ok to feed those straight to the fish without hatching them

I always buy decapsulated eggs, theyre more expensive then the ones with shells but it saves messing about with bleach and vinegar.

I always buy them shelless. Worth the price !!

Thanks for the replies guys,
For the quantities of eggs I use, actually buying decapsulated eggs wolud cost me an arm and a leg. So I guess its the bleach/vinegar method for me.
Thanks again
