    Try any LFS that stocks ocean nutrition products. They can get brine shrimp eggs easily.

    Easiest way is the coke bottle technique. It's not clean, but it's effective.

    Hi I bought a tin of BS eggs for my bettas @JungleAquatics, the hatching rate is brilliant, and I will strongly reccomend it. Some other tips for better hatching rate is.

    1. Leave your eggs 1 day in your salt water solution before starting the airation, this way the eggs swell, and soak up water quicker, and drop to the bottom.

    2. Put in a small heater, and set it on 24 deg C, higher temp = faster hatching better results.

    3. Give it more light, use a lamp and put it close to your solution, more light = quicker hatching and better results.

    This helped me allot with better results, hope it can do the same for you.
