	Artemia franciscana - The tiny Brine Shrimp. 84% hatch rate. Artemia franciscana grown on by Alan Green. The dark looking backs of these shrimp look gold when viewed from above. This shrimp hatches as a smaller size than the usual Great Salt Lake (Utah) or Siberian shrimp. This is a species found in a small area of San Francisco Bay. It may look expensive but it's really a very limited area of collection & costs a lot to import. 360,000 eggs to the gram compared to 289,000 for GSL. Use on fry which are too small for normal brine shrimp as a first food (Freshwater, Marine fry & Seahorses). This is not a cheap egg to bring in. Keep refrigerated once opened. We now buy this in larger quantities due to demand. This is now available in smaller weights. Packed in resealable bags to exclude air. Only the 454g comes in plastic tubs.

	Live Hatching Shelless Brine Shrimp Cysts. We were stocking a reliable shelless cyst some years ago but it was taken off the market. We couldn't find anything as good until we tried this. To hatch, make up a hatching solution as you would to hatch shelled cysts & add some shelless cysts. Hatching (or free swimming) time is a lot shorter. Also - no shells to pollute the jar. No energy is wasted hatching through the shell. Please bear in mind with this product that we keep this under refrigeration & experiments show using it directly from the fridge takes at least 4 days to hatch as with normal shelled cysts. We recommend you keep this out of the fridge if using regularly to shorten hatching time. This product can be used directly to feed young. Not all fry will accept it but it will contain all the feed value.

	Selco Brine Shrimp Enrichment This is enriched with Highly Unsaturated Fatty Acids (HUFA). Also contains high levels of essential Omega 3 fatty acids (EPA & DHA). This is fed to live foods like newly hatched (or adult) Brine Shrimp, Daphnia etc where it can be ingested or coat the surface or the feed animals & greatly improves the lipid content. To use - syphon newly hatched shrimp out of the hatching jar & rinse in clean fresh water. Put into a fresh jar of salted water 35-45 parts per thousand. Temperature 28°C. Maintain a vigorous aeration to fully mix the water. Do not feed straight away. Allow 18-24 hours to allow time to absorb yolk sacs. Shake Selco bottle well & add ·05mls (10 drops) per litre of water. It is important to maintain strong aeration. After 12 hours the shrimp should have become fully enriched & can be fed to fry/fish. Analysis - Lipids 65%, Ash max 3%, Omega 3 (HUFA) min 400mg//g dry weight, vitamin A min 1,500,00 IU/kg, vitamin D3 min 150,000 IU/kg, vitamin E 3,600 mg/kg. We keep this under refrigeration. 125 ml..... £12·00
	Pop Bottle Hatchery Kit We are selling these in large quantities. The hatching pouches they come with are now available seperately. Just cut the bottom off a clear plastic pop bottle & screw the top into the base. A cheap hatchery where you can easily replace old bottles. Kit comes with 3' of airline. Please Note - These kits no longer come with the egg/salt mix sachets. Full instructions in packet. £9·96
	Hobby Brine Shrimp Hatcher Hobby have been making these for decades. They are ideal for hatching smaller quantities of brine shrimp eggs. To use fill with salted water just below the top of the white ring. Add an airline through the hole in the lip. Add brine shrimp eggs to the outside ring of the hatcher. The newly hatched nauplii will be attracted to the light in the centre of the hatcher & the egg shells are left behind. The centre of the hatcher contains a sieve you can pull out to feed to your fish. £19·95
	San Francisco Bay Brand Hatching Mix Contains 3 sachets ( 21g each ) of ready to hatch Brine Shrimp eggs with salt. All you do is add water & an airline. These are the same packets which come with the Hatchery Kits. Full instructions on hatching included. £4·44
	De Capsulated Brine Shrimp Eggs We have currently sold in excess of £22,000 worth of these eggs (April 2013) They must have something going for them.. Because these are shell less & dried you get a lot more cysts per gram than live eggs. We get loads of repeat orders for these. This food is ready to feed to your fish. Being very fine it is easily taken up by young fish. I'm feeding it to newly dropped guppy fry & Killie fry. Apistogramma are not known for getting excited over dried food but they come to the surface to take this. The food will float for a good time although my fish eat it before it gets a chance to sink. We export kilo's of this stuff. This food is NOT hatchable - feed directly to your fish. Decapsulated eggs are higher in energy & nutritional value than hatched eggs as no energy is consumed in the hatching process. Amino acids, lipids & enzymes remain intact. Protein - 53%, Fat - 11%, Fibre 1%, Ash 6% Size 245 µm Vitamin E 160 mg/kg, vitamin C 550 mg/kg.
	100g - £5·26
	500g - £20·94
	Hobby Brine Shrimp Sieves. I use one of these in my fish house & have done for years (the same one). They last for ages & are easy to clean. We sell literally hundreds of these. £6·23
	Hobby Combination Sieve set. Contains 4 seperate sieves - coarse, medium & fine ideal for grading live foods. £11·34

Used for some time by commercial hatcheries this product is added to Brine Shrimp hatching jars.
We have been testing this out in our own fish house & the results are shown below.

Koi & other coldwater fish are particularly susceptible to Vibrio bacteria. A few pounds invested in the early stages makes a big difference.

If you feed your fish Artemia from cloudy hatching jars chances are you are introducing Vibrio bacteria to your fry also. This product has shown to significally affect this bacteria.

The test started with 2 x 1 gallon sweet jars. Both were cleaned thoroughly (including the airline) & stelilized. A usual hatch
mix of 1·5 teaspoonfuls of cooking salt per pint (SG 1·020 approx) was used. Siberian eggs were used in the experiment. Given that high temperatures accelerate hatching &
bacteria growth I decided to hatch at a lower temperature of 70°F. The left hand column below shows treated eggs the right without.

To use this product... Sterilise hatching container.
Dosage - 1 ml to 10 litre of salt water.
Aerate strongly for 5 minutes (do not use your hands). Add Artemia cysts & hatch normally.
Rinse newly hatched shrimp in a net or sieve in fresh water before use.
