Brine Shrimp...

Guess who knows where to get them LOL
R220 for 50 grams of eggs.......

 

Um.. please excuse my ignorance...

Where DO I get the eggs from? And how on earth do I fit a heater into half a coke bottle?

 

LoL - you guys are too much

It is only a pleasure.

PS: I did warn you that the brineshrimp eggs don't come cheap and a birdie has told me that apparently they are expected a shortage very soon if not sooner - so stock up!

 

Is this normal price or bargain or high price Veegal??

 

Oh dear...

Speaking of brine shrimp, has anyone heard of NT Labs? I bought some of their decapsulated brine shrimp in solution. It is supposed to yeild a 1 million egg hatch. But I tried it and nothing.

linky poo... http://www.ntlabs.co.uk/viewpage.php?page_id=1043

 

I normally buy live shrimp, but this weekend was the first time my supplier turned me away because he is keeping them for the marine guys with the seahorses. Almost bought a seahorse just to get shrimps LOL

 

It sounds a little excessive. It also depends on the hatch rate and quality of the eggs though......

Carping how much were you charged for the live brineshrimp???

Thats a bit difficult to quantify Veegal. Payed R10 for a bag that holds about 6 cups of shrimp (with water)
So what is a average price for about 50 grams of eggs?

 

We currently pay in the region of R400-R580 for approximately 480g (I think that is the quantity - I'll have to check the weight when I get home though).

 

Could be that I was wrong too on the weight. Will have to go and double check. Might have been 250 gr

 

i used their product for a while.Very expensive compared to the eggs.
Yes it is expensive for a big bottle but i got an LFS in p-town that put some into little pill bottles.(They probably make a killing but spread over a year it is fine by me.)

 

Hey guys I dont mind ordering any help would be appreciated on where do I order?

 

I've seen live brine shrimp in two places in Pretoria. Pet Stop and Exclusive Pets. Should be about R10 for a bag.

As for the hatching of the eggs, can't you keep them alive in a tank and let the critters breed?

Some pics of your setup would be much appreciated Veegal

 

I had some of them(adults) the guy said that I should place them in my fridge the cooler water help with reproduction but nothing happened so I took them out placed them in a dark cool place and then something happened started seeing small ones but they started dying the adults so I dont know if it were because of the water or what because the guy said that you can leave them in the same water but the water got a brown colour so maybe I have done something wrong

Can someone say what???

 

Hi where more or less are these pet shops do they keep them in a fridge o on the shelf. I have tried keeping them alive but to no avail? Do you use active heast or brewers heart?

Pet stop is a sponsor here on TASA, so maybe contact them directly, and Exclusive Pets is in Centurion, in the Bazaruto center near the mall.

 

Thanks

 

I also bought the NT Labs (brineshrimp eggs without shells). and im also getting nothing at all
