brine shrimp hatchery

[SpEeDhOrN]

iv constructed a brine shrimp hatchery and i have added the salt and eggs etc but after 24 hours of bubbling ther water at 80 degrees all the eggs simply float to the surface and not 1 egg has hatched. whats going on

Sometimes the eggs are old or no good. Let's not assume this is the case. Some types(location harvested) have longer hatch out times. Do find it "fishy though" that NONE have hatched - usually someone does in that amount of time.???

I agree with Alaska, they should have hatched. Give them a bit more time. Chances are, they are bad eggs. Dont worry though, you gave them great conditions weasnt your fault.

Don't take this the wrong way or anything, but people do it all the time. Did you dechlorinate the water? It probably is bad eggs, though

i'm guessing eggs too

Factors are:

Kind of salt: ??
Temp: 80
water movement : airstone
Water treatment/source before use : ??

missing those two parts
