I received my new BBS hatching dish the other day. Never saw one like this before. I got in on BrineShrimp Direct. After about 12 hours or so we noticed that the tiny eggs were sort of swirling around. The dish said they would hatch in 24-48 hours. Well the "swirling around of the pinkish orange cloud" stopped and there is no movement after 48 hours. I know this had got to be a ridiculous question but are the BBS that tiny? Can't tell just by looking at it? I have always gotten brine shrimp from the LFS and apparantly these are adult brine shrimp and very easy to distinguish. The hatching dish does not use aeration. I just have a light bulb above the dish to draw the BBS to the opening in the middle as the direction states. I spoke with the store over the phone before purchasing- they were great - and they said many people liked this hatching dish. I am going to dump this unsuccessful attempt. But are those BBS so tiny that they appear to be as small as the tiny eggs? Feel foolish but this is BRAND NEW....
