no your doing fine i would turn the air
down a bit or put an air stone in it
it can take anything from 24 to 48 hrs
for them to hatch i find a wooden air stone works
better after 24 to 48 hrs turn the air off and you should see
the brine shrimp swimming about if you put a light next to
the bottle they will go towards it they look pink in colour
they will be very very small

I have a 40 watt light that i kept on all night yesterday this produces light but no heat at is is quiet far up. But directly ontop, i will check tomorow and hopefully some changes.

Yes thanks i see some moving but still mostly eggs tho,

This seems like a waste of time and energy... Could i not just use the 1ft tank 1 have small aqurarium its emty atm? Would be easyier to put a heater ect in there this bottle thing seems like a waste of time.. it would be cheaper buying live brine shrimp for 40p a bag lol

if you shine the light near the
top of the water they will move towards
the light you will also need a turkey baster
to remove them and feed then like i say they are
very very small its the best starter food you can
give them

yes i have something to take them outwith but i dont think all of them have been made yet.. maybe if i keep them for another half a day in there... do you think the ones that are already born will survive? for a few more hours

a lot of them will of made it
but you will all so have a lot
of empty brown looking shells
in there that look like unhatched
eggs home hatched brine shrimp
are nowhere as big as the brine
shrimp you get in the blister packs
that you get to feed older fish

give them another half day
once they have started hatching
most of them should if you what
to keep them alive still keep the
air on but reduce it you used to be
able to get brine shrimp food but
i have not seen it in a long time i
used to grow them on to full size for
older fry and fish

I dont have no emty brown shells becuase these eggs are shelless i think, ive seen videos on how to do it but mine has no shells in there, Just some shrimp and unhatched eggs floating around.
