Brine Shrimp Direct Hatchery Dish (Eggs Sold Separately.)

Being a first time mum to 1000’s of Axolotl’s I found it easy to make brine shrimp with one of these

I've always been hesitant at using baby brine shrimp to feed my fish because I always felt it was too complicated for something you have to do over and over again. I saw that thing recommended in a random video and honestly I have no regrets buying this! It's very easy to set up and to clean (I just rince with hot tap water). It's also very easy to harvest the brine shrimp with the tiny spoon/net, and there's almost no eggs collecting in the middle when set up correctly. What's cool too is that it's small and slim, and all black so you can put it almost anywhere and it's not ugly, it's perfect for people with a small home that don't have a dedicated fish room. I used the little hole on the side to put an airline tubing to add a small amount of water movement / oxygenation, hoping it would help them hatch / live longer, but the first few times I used it I didn't do that and a LOT of brine shrimp hatched anyway! I use it to feed my bettas, baby bettas, baby medakas and my community tank and everyone is super happy. Very cool thing and great tool! I do think it's expensive for what it is, but the design is very good and I still recommend it!

This Brine Shrimp Hatchery Dish offers a streamlined setup process: it relies solely on light exposure to trigger hatching, eliminating the need for an air pump or aerator typically required by conventional hatching methods. This makes it a low-maintenance option for hobbyists who want to skip the extra equipment. Hatch density was consistently abundant across batches, with nauplii remaining viable and active for harvesting over a two-to-three day window — a solid margin for staggered feedings rather than a single-use hatch. The built-in mesh filter/strainer makes collection straightforward, allowing you to scoop nauplii directly without needing a separate net or pipette setup. I've been using the nauplii as a live food source for a mandarin dragonet (Synchiropus splendidus), a notoriously selective feeder that often refuses prepared foods, and the consistent, high-density yield has made it much easier to keep a steady supply of live prey available on demand. Build quality is solid — the materials feel sturdy and well-made, which is especially impressive given the price point. For what it costs, this dish punches well above its weight in terms of durability and functionality. Overall, a well-designed, fuss-free hatchery dish that delivers reliable output without added complexity, at a price that makes it an easy recommendation. Pros: Light-only hatching — no aerator or air pump required Simple, beginner-friendly setup Good hatching rate Built-in filter makes harvesting nauplii quick and easy Nauplii stay viable for harvesting over 2-3 days Good quality Great value for the price Great for picky live-food feeders like mandarin dragonets

Brine Shrimp works great! Hatches more shrimp than you'd expect. Very easy and foolproof to use. I place mine on a shelf under a light, shrimp hatch in less than 24 hrs, and I'm able to harvest for 3-4 days. Easy to clean as well. Important to make sure hatchery is level. Received superb customer service from Victoria at Brine Shrimp Direct - excelled in every way!
