Description

Very elegant hatchery for hatching baby brine shrimp (Artemia salina). It features a sturdy stand, large 2L plastic container with a handle, alowing for easy manipulation and hanging it on the side of the aquarium. The bottom of the container is equiped with a valve allowing for easy straining fo the final product. When the baby brine shrimp are hatched we place a light underneaththe container. That motivates the baby brine shrimp to swim to the bottom. The emtpy shells stays floating at the top. We release the solution just below the shells, that way we receive a shell free culture. 

Baby brine shrimp requires light for their hatching process. Temperature influences the speed of hatching. When incadescent light is used as source of light, it generates sufficient heat for proper hatching. However, when LED light is used, additional source of heat is required otherwise the speed of hatching can be delayed by up to 12 hours.  The manufacturer thought of it and created a hole in the middle of the lid for a supplemental heater. The hatchery also comes with a thermometer, spare O-ring for the thermometer and a baster for feeding the baby brine shrimp to your fish. 

Size: 18cm x 14cm x 33cm

Well designed unit
By Bob, Upper Canada Discus from N/A on February 08, 2022
An efficient Artemia hatchery. I have been using some older designs and wanted to try this one. Impressed with it. Strong, stable when in use and easy to clean.

Wonderful service from Angelfins as always!!

Expensive but good
By Adrian from Hamilton, Canada on May 05, 2021
So it’s not cheap for what it is, and sure you can accomplish the same thing with some pop bottles, but this thing is solid, sturdy, and easy to use. I love it.

The best built artemia hatchery available on the market
By Fred from Quebec City, Canada on September 18, 2019
After testing several hatchery kits, this one is by far the most sturdy design for a 1 -2 liter hatchery. Because ZIss products are not widely available in the North American market, I very glad to see them listed on Angelfins store !

The opening made on the top for fitting a heater in the hatchery is a good idea as hatching is optimum at 29°C which is higher than the room temperature.

This information was taken from the article:
Kumar, G. R. & Babu.D.E. 2015. Effect of light, temperature and salinity on the growth of Artemis. International Journal of Engineering Science Invention. Vol. 4 Issue 12. p,7-12.

The optimal conditions reported:
Temperature: 29 °C
Light : 2000 Lux (and surprisingly this really influence the hatching success)
Salinity: 29 ppt (but this variable is not influencing that much the hatching success if salt water is used)

great product
By Eon from Toronto, Canada on August 16, 2019
Recently did my first batch using this hatchery. Got a very good hatch rate. I like the design. Only minor issue is the heater hole in center of lid...I had to break of the small plastic supports so my heater would fit deep enough into the water. It works now but there are many heater designs that may not fit. Overall it's not cheap but it works very well.

Best Brineshrimp Hatchery
By Marte from Toronto, Canada on August 14, 2019
Best Brineshrimp Hatchery to date. I have made a few as well as purchased and used other products. This by far is the best in terms of hatching and the ease of harvesting the shrimp. I wish they have provided a lid/cover for the heater as an option if you dont need to use the heater. More updates to follow.
