To prepare salt water yourself, dissolve approximately 30g of non-iodized salt per 1 liter of fresh water. Then, measure out the appropriate amount of brine shrimp eggs (approximately 2.5g per 1 liter of salt water). Place the prepared mixture in a location where suitable conditions are ensured – this refers to appropriate temperature and lighting. For example, you can place your container in a larger container filled with water. In the hatching container, place an air stone with a hose, ensuring the air stone is at the bottom of the container so that the brine shrimp cysts are constantly in motion; aerate quite intensely, and the container must also be lit. It is also important that the water temperature remains at a constant level of 28-30°C – thus, a heater should be in the container unless you have a place where such a temperature naturally occurs. The hatching process takes 24 to 48 hours, depending on many factors – it is best to determine the optimal hatching time for your specific conditions (for me, it takes 30-36 hours). When you want to collect the larvae, remove the aeration kit from the container and wait a moment for the water to clear – this usually takes 5-10 minutes for the shells to float to the surface. Then, collect or skim off the shells from the water surface, and pour the artemia larvae through a fine sieve (it is best to rinse them with fresh water to remove excess salt). Feed the larvae to aquarium fry, where they can survive for up to 8 hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eManufacturer's recommendations regarding hatching conditions:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eamount of artemia eggs per liter of salt water: 2 - 2.5 g\/l\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e- water salinity: 25-30ppt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e- pH: 7.5-8.5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e- temperature: 28-30°C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e- hatching time: 24-48h\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e- illumination: 2000 lux\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e- intense aeration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFood packaged from a large original container and sealed in bags.
