Newly hatched Brine Shrimp are still the best source of nutrition for many species of newborn fry and are still a good value for those critical first
weeks of feeding. All fry are born with the ‘instinct’ to eat something which moves. Only live food can provide the stimulation for some fry to feed and Brine Shrimp are the choice for highly nutritious
live food. See our Hatcheries for an easy to use device for hatching out artemia. Once the fry are feeding on live food for a period, they can be ‘taught’ to accept dry foods and weaned off the Brine Shrimp. Consider using “Cyclop-eeze” to supplement the feeding of Brine Shrimp nauplii. With difficult to wean fry, small amounts of Cyclop-eeze can be given along with the nauplii to stimulate
them into accepting the non-live Cyclop-eeze. The color and size Cyclop-eeze are similar in appearance to BBS providing easy transition over a period of days or weeks. For other alternatives to hatching brine

Premium Grade Utah Cysts: When you are buying Premium eggs you are not only paying for the increased
hatch-out percentage but more importantly you are also getting better separation between nauplii and cysts. This makes harvesting your nauplii easier with less chance of harvesting un-hatched or empty
shells along with nauplii (can cause problems for some fry if they consume cysts). They will also maintain better shelf life for the user. Once you have used both Premium and lower grades you will
appreciate the best grades also. Do not be fooled by companies selling lower hatch-out as Premium, which are only 80% - 86% hatchout. or lower! Misrepresentation of product is very common with Artemia
cysts. We guarantee satisfaction and can provide a copy of “Analysis Certificate” showing hatchout %. These Premium Utah cysts are from the 2005-6 harvest year and are far superior to the
current harvest 2006-7 which are not a stable cyst and will degrade quickly if shipped or stored in ambient temperatures.

Special Mini Cysts High HUFA We also offer a special cyst which hatches a smaller sized nauplii similar to
the highly sought after cyst from South America. Primary benefit is the very high fatty acid levels of 17% HUFA. Hatched nauplii is approximately 480 micron. These eggs are used when the standard Utah
cyst hatches out too large and when the superior nutrition is needed such as in the critical first days of delicate species. These special cysts are listed as 75-85% hatch but will provide hatch-out
similar to a premium cyst if hatched at 84-86 degrees F and 26 hours duration.
