  • Hi everybody, Joey here again and welcome back

  • So today I'm going to show you how to build a brine shrimp hatchery

  • Now this is a project that has been done countless times, and countless ways

  • But I get asked to give my take on it all the time

  • So, here it goes...

  • When it comes to feeding live foods, live brine shrimp are a very popular food choice

  • Highly nutritious, and a great first food for fry

  • However I tend to avoid it, typically speaking your fish can sometimes become dependent on it

  • and a hatchery of any kind may not be as sustainable as you might think

  • Simply put you might run out, and not be able to keep up with your production

  • Or you're culture simply might crash

  • Leaving you with nothing to feed your fish

  • Personally I Prefer to feed my home made food to fry

  • as it is something they readily eat, grow fast off of, and I never really run out

  • With that in mind, if I were to build a brine shrimp hatchery

  • I would not depend on just one culture

  • But several running all at different times

  • I wanna point out that I just use spare supplies that I already had

  • obviously, the most popular type of a "do it yourself" brine shrimp hatchery start with a water-bottle

  • For me though, I wanted to run at least five at a time

  • I needed a holder first, so I grabbed some spare plywood and cut it to size and build a little platform

  • Tall enough

  • For the bottles to sit in, and enough room to easily access the bottom of these bottles

  • I then marked off where I wanted each bottle and ensured that they were closer to the back side than the front

  • I'll explain why in a minute

  • I then drilled the holes out with a hole saw that were barely big enough for the bottles to fit into

  • I wanted them to be snug

  • I followed this up by painting the stand white

  • I went with white simply because it's what I had on hand

  • Painting it will help seal the wood and make it last longer

  • Now on to the bottles

  • I used five for this rack

  • Took the caps off and cut the bottoms of the bottle off

  • I put the cut-off portions aside as I would use them later

  • I then took the few "do it yourself" CO2 caps I had previously used on a build that I got on eBay for two for a dollar with free shipping

  • These were simply screwed on to the bottle ends, like we did in that "do it yourself" CO2 video

  • Other supplies I had on hand were a small air pump

  • We don't need a tonne of air for this though

  • So, almost any size air pump will actually work

  • some airline hose

  • Airline manifolds

  • I only needed one, but they come in various sizes and types

  • This will allow me to run multiple devices off one air pump and control the air to each, with tiny valves

  • Cost will vary but you don't need anything fancy

  • Then some micro-ball valves

  • These were made by two little fishies

  • This will allow you to cut off air or water on a 6mm airline

  • I also use some painters tape and a marker

  • Then some measuring devices

  • Again, nothing fancy is needed

  • A two-litre bottle of tap water ensuring it's de-chlorinated, some rock salt

  • Any type of salt is actually fine but I buy rock salt for about a dollar a pound (lb)

  • And it's 100% salt

  • Then a bit of baking soda
