The Hobby Artemia Breeding Dish is for hatching Artemia. Artemia salina are crustanceans which are over 100 million years old!! Artemia are found in in salt lakes and are one of the most interesting and resistant forms of life in existence.
They are held in the highest regards in terms of nutritional value and colour development for fish, whats even better it you get rear them yourself!!!!
This is the simplest method of hatching brine shrimp eggs as only the eggs and salt are required.
DIRECTIONS
Dissolve 15 grams (approx. 2 dessert spoons) of Hobby Artemia Salt or any other clean and iodide free salt in half a Liter of water and pour into dish. Fill dish with water up to the water level mark. Set the white divider disk into the middle and insert the sleeve into the centre opening. Distribute 1-3 units (as required) of Artemia Eggs evenly around the outer circle and close lid. Keep lid in position closed to avoid unwanted ingress of light. At normal room temperature the artemia will hatch after 36 to 48 hours. The nauplia will be attracted by light and gravitate towards the centre sieve, form which they may comfortably be extracted and used.
