Hi to all interested :D

100% Brine Shrimp Eggs !! from USA

as requested, the info on the BSE ...

Brine Shrimp Eggs (Artemia Salina Cysts) are harvested from the Great Salt Lake in Utah, U.S.A. The eggs are washed, dried and vacuum packed. Before shipping, all lots of eggs are tested for hatchability. Newly hatched nauplii from these eggs provide one of nature's finest, nutritious foods for many fishes and invertebrates. The resulting nauplii contain high protein and are rich in fatty acids and pigments.

the above is wat is quoted on the label of the tin can.. :P

Hatching instructions:

1. Hatching tank: Use a clear plastic or glass bottle. For larger quantities use a 10-55 gal. (38-208 L) fiberglass tank.

2. Use clean sea water or artificial salt water with a specific gravity of 1.01 to 1.02.

3. The optimum PH is 7.5-8.5. If necessary, add an alkaline solution made from soda ash or sodium sulfate to raise the PH.

4. During hatching, use sufficient aeration to keep all eggs in circulation at all times. Pump the air through an airstone to get a smooth flow.

5. The optimum hatching temperature is 82-85°F (28-29°C).

6. The best hatching will occur after 20-36 hours.

7. To harvest, remove the air supply and wait 15 minutes. The nauplii will school on the bottom. Siphon them into a fine mesh net by using a plastic tube.

8. Store cysts at low temperture and in cool, dry place to keep them fresh and alive. For maximum preservation, cysts can be frozen.

Pls feedback if interested :D

if the feedbacks is good, will then purchase small containers to hold the egg and sell them cheaply...

cheers :)
