I am kind of sick n upset when you guys fooling by those shop or seller about this sea monkey. It is not sea monkey. It is brine shrimp. They surviving in salt water.

Goto fish shop and ask for Artemia eggs will do. 1 small bottle is around rm18-22. But hatching rate is low. Life brine shimp...mostly lfs with those marine stuff selling it.

I just bought one small packet of artemia eggs (Sera brand) for RM5.30 at Pet Family Taman Megah. On the packet says already included salt and high hatch rate, so just add water. This is yet to be proven though since i just poured the contents last night.

Ya,but not all eggs hatched,what ur hatched rate on ur packet of eggs?

U may see the eggs were floating,but most of them were eggs shell of hatched artemia! biggrin.gif

Its really hard to raised them until they big,u maybe got only less than 1% to raise them until big! laugh.gif

Mine only 40-50 from hundred of thousand of artemia live until now, sad.gif

haha of course i did not exactly count biggrin.gif . I count roughly ten at one area, than i estimated there are at least 10 more areas with 10 artemia. so i multiplied 10 with 10 so got 100.. err paham ke tak? rclxub.gif

The packet says (artemia + salt). Just need to add water. I poured some aquarium water into a bowl (500 ml - 1L). Then i poured the contents. I took a spoon and stirred the contents. It took 1 1/2 day before i saw results.

It's been 5 days now, and i dont think any more artemia will hatch.
Anyone know how to clean the unhatched eggs and the egg "shells" from hatched artemia?Without accidently disposing the hatched artemia?? Sakit mata when I want to find the artemias since they are still very small and same size as the eggs. rclxub.gif

Came back home yesterday and wanted to do another "head count" of my artemia.
I found out that my previous calculation was wrong. I did not have approx. 100 hatched artemia. In fact I have HUNDREDS of hatched artemia rclxms.gif . 300 would not be an exaggeration icon_idea.gif
