Instant baby brine shrimp

My Angels are starting to show mating behavior. I'm thinking I might try raising some of the fry. I'm not looking forward to a BBS hatchery . Have any of you had luck with this product instead of hatching your own BBS?

Thank you!

I haven't tried that product. Frozen BBS works well in a pinch.

I've used the frozen baby brine shrimp to raise our firemouth fry with good results. I started them out on hikari first bites for a few weeks, then went to the bbs, then to regular bs, and now they eat frozen blood worms and frozen beef heart. They're now 4 months old.

I've hatched my own brine shrimp nauplii. It's not very hard and takes a day. I've never used that brand before but the one I used came in little baggies of shrimp eggs and aquarium salt. You just mixed it in a litre of dechlorinated water and set it out for 24 hours. A hatchery is easy to make.
