VPoint Brine Shrimp Eggs – Artemia Cysts of 90% Hatch Rate – Aquatic Foods Baby & Fry Foods - Great Live Fish Food for Freshwater Fish, Saltwater Fish, Fry, etc. (0.5-Ounces)

This is like my third time purchasing these particular brine shrimp eggs. I have had great success and hatch rates even with my DIY hatchery. They do seem to take a bit longer to achieve a full hatch out - like 2 days so I have a few hatcheries I rotate between to keep a constant supply, but that could also be because of my particular water and salt solution. Either way, I will continue to order these to keep my baby angel fish happy and thriving!

I decided to try my luck hatching brine shrimp for my bettas. This was my first attempt and after reading some other reviews I was sceptical I'd be able to do much with these. I'm glad I ignored what they were saying. I constructed a hatchery with a 1 liter bottle, tubing, a cheap light, and some salt. I did take others advice to put in the freezer upon arrival. Even in my primitive set up and lack of experience I was able to hatch so many BB I didn't know what to do with them all and ended up feeding them to my adult fish. Very pleased with purchase. Update: Bought this again after trying different brands and I can say this batch is awful. If they hatch it's a very small amount and takes longer for them to hatch when they do. I don't know what happened but these are terrible and you can't return them at all. Last time I buy these.

I ordered these because I needed tiny food for cory fry. I had never tried love food before, especially something that needed hatching. When I received the eggs I tossed the package on top of my bigger fish tank, thinking I'll hatch them when it was time. A few days later I was reading up on hatching them and learned that the eggs need to be stored under 50°. Oops. So I threw them in the freezer. For a little over a week. Turnes out that's too cold. From what I read anyway. At this point I figured that I blew this batch but thought I'd try to hatch them anyway. Now there was no website that I could find from the company that explains how to set up a hatchery so I spent a good hour looking up the salt to water ratio. That kind of sucked. But the eggs have been in the hatchery for about 20 hours now and I am happy to say that I have a ton of baby brine shrimp. I really thought that the temperature the eggs were stored at was going to be an end all for this batch. Turns out they were still good. I will definitely be purchasing these again. Edit: It's been almost 4 years since I've bought these. I've moved across the country and took the bag out of the fridge and put it in my car cooler. Mind you, it's been 4 YEARS since I've bought these eggs. I figured I'd give them a go and see if they will hatch. Who knows, it could happen. And to my shock, they have hatched! The same hatch rate as before. Craziness! I see they aren't available anymore, but if they were, I'd buy from here again.

Used for a science experiment with middle schoolers and it is marketed as it works. Only wish the directions came in the box instead of looking them up.

I consistently use brine shrimp in my classroom, and we always hatch from eggs. Finding this bulk bag online with 2 day shipping- I thought I was in luck as science supplies do not provide that luxury. However, with the EXTREMELY LOW hatching rate I had with this batch, I won't be buying again. I'm not sure if eggs were damaged on transport or if they were subjected to the cold for too long, but less than 50% hatched

I purchased the smallest bag just to try them out before spending a bit more, I was very pleased with the hatch rate, it's definitely in the mid to high 90% range. Takes about 24 hours to hatch, but it's well worth the wait

First of all, I have been hatching brine shrimp eggs for the past year...so this is not a case of not knowing how to hatch them properly...actually have 3 hatcheries. I completely screwed up and got so busy at work I did not realize my brine shrimp egg stash in the refrigerator was almost gone. So my fault for overlooking that fact. Ordered as soon as I noticed, but this time figured why use Brine Shrimp Direct again that shows only a 80% hatch rate when I can get Vpoint with a 90% hatch rate and it can be here in 1 day?! So ordered the 4 oz....unfortunately just before a weekend so it did not show up until 2/11 on Monday. Batch 1 - nothing, even after 3 days. Thought maybe it had been too cold in delivery vehicle so tried several tubes on next run, still nothing. Great, completely bad eggs. So ordered another bag of the 1/2 oz, because they still ship the fastest and figured the first larger bag was a fluke. But I also ordered Brine Shrimp Direct at the same time. Again, all of this ordered on a Friday. This Vpoint 1/2 oz bag was only a little better. Instead of nothing hatching, it would between 48-60 hours, which usually indicates improper storage. I'm seriously wondering what the city has done to our water at this point and treating the tap/trying RO. The Brine Shrimp Direct bottle shows up a couple of days later and I immediately get those going. Same as before with this BSD brand....eggs hatching within 18-24 hours....no problem, no special water handling. Very hard lessons learned. 1-Don't lose track of your egg stash and order at the last minute; 2-Baby angelfish at only 2-3 weeks old can't really make it for 7+ days on powder supplements only (2 different kinds) - we lost 50% of our younger group and 25% of our older group!; 3-Don't EVER order Vpoint unless you have several weeks to try it out and time to get something else. Very upset with these guys!!

The shrimp hatched in 48 hours. A LOT of them hatched. Almost too much for my needs. I used the Brine Shrimp Hatchery dish, water from my saltwater tank (8.30 pH), and a LED light (no heat/just room temp). I ordered the 0.5 ounce packet - which will last me a long time for my live fish food needs.
