"Just wanted to send a quick note on how happy I am with your Brine Shrimp Hatchery Dish. The dish is performing as you stated and it works without a pump! I find the dish to be a perfect fit for my needs and very easy to use." J.L. Los Angeles ""We first saw this brine shrimp egg hatchery in Kowloon, Hong Kong and were instantly intrigued by its strange shape. With some misgivings about the functionality of the "breeding dish," I brought it home and tried it. I was amazed at the results in 24 hours! With absolutely no aeration, air tubing, or heat, my yields were as good as if I had used a more elaborate set-up. With a premeasured charge of about 0.4 grams of dry cysts, the Hatchery Dish yielded over 100,000 baby brine shrimp. A particularly nice feature of the shallow, dish-like shape of the Hatchery is the naturally occurring separation of the newly hatched nauplii (baby brine shrimp) from shells and unhatched egg - resulting in a very clean harvest. No siphoning or net is required. This is truly a great product for hobbyists!"" HATCHERY DISH INSTRUCTIONS Instructions: The Hatchery Dish provides the aquarium hobbyist with a simple, effective way to harvest and directly feed clean (i.e. without shell) quantities of newly-hatched, live baby brine shrimp (nauplii). Required: You will need either aquarium salt, sea salt, or baking salt, along with clean tap water or distilled water and a separate one-liter or quart-sized container to prepare the hatching solution. You will also need a warm well-lit area where the Hatchery Dish can be left undisturbed for 24 hours. No aerator is required with the Dish. Because of the shallow depth of the water, there is sufficient oxygen exchange at the water surface. Prepare Hatching Solution: In a separate container, dissolve 25 grams of salt (equal to one and two-thirds level tablespoons, or 5 level teaspoons of fine or medium grain salt) into one liter (approx. one quart) of fresh tap water or distilled water at room temperature (preferably 70⁰-80⁰F). Set up Hatchery: Place the bottom portion or basin of the Hatchery Dish in a warm area with lighting where it can be left undisturbed for 24 hours. An overhead incandescent light is ideal for providing both light and extra warmth. Fill Dish with Hatching Solution to the fill-line indicated on the inside of basin. Place concentric white ring divider in center of Dish. Place mesh cup in center of Dish. Using the small spoon included with Dish, sprinkle one to two heaping spoonfuls of brine shrimp eggs (artemia cysts) on top of the water around the outermost area of the ring divider. Do not stir the eggs into the water. Carefully place lid on Dish. Position lid so that the mark (arrow) on lid is in the “closed” position. Let stand for 24-28 hours. Depending upon the room temperature, the brine shrimp should begin hatching in about 24 hours. Harvest: Nauplii are phototactic. As the brine shrimp begin to hatch, the nauplii will swim to the light in the center of the Dish. You can extract the nauplii from the Dish as they accumulate in the mesh sieve. It is common to harvest multiple times from the Dish in a 48-hour period. Clean: When the supply of nauplii appears to be exhausted, dump the shell and remaining un-hatched egg and clean Dish with hot water. Periodically use a light chlorine solution to disinfect the Dish and other parts. ## Features - Easy to Use - No Aeration or Additional Equipment Needed - Perfec For Small Volume Hatching Needs - Yields over 100000 Baby Brine Shrimp in 24 Hours ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Allergen Information | Fish, Shrimp | | Asin | B08KRZT369 | | Best Sellers Rank | #76,089 in Pet Supplies (See Top 100 in Pet Supplies) #8,143 in Fish & Aquatic Pets | | Brand Name | Brine Shrimp Direct | | Color | Green & Red | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (941) 4.5 out of 5 stars | | Flavor | Shrimp | | Included Components | Feeding Dropper | | Item Form | Dry | | Item Type Name | Brine Shrimp Hatchery | | Item Weight | 0.31 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Brine Shrimp Direct | | Number Of Pieces | 1 | | Package Weight | 0.31 Kilograms | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Upc | 831350000798 | ## Product Details - **Allergen information:** Fish, Shrimp - **Brand:** Brine Shrimp Direct - **Item weight:** 0.31 Kilograms - **Number of pieces:** 1 - **Package weight:** 0.31 Kilograms ## Images ![Brine Shrimp Direct Hatchery Dish (Eggs Sold Separately.) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81C7Vd9owXL.jpg) ![Brine Shrimp Direct Hatchery Dish (Eggs Sold Separately.) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81wtauDPRoL.jpg) ![Brine Shrimp Direct Hatchery Dish (Eggs Sold Separately.) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41ZY89rXRXL.jpg) ![Brine Shrimp Direct Hatchery Dish (Eggs Sold Separately.) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71fmZqDKMWL.jpg) ![Brine Shrimp Direct Hatchery Dish (Eggs Sold Separately.) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Wq9KhjpNL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy follow direction *by on Reviewed in Canada 20 March 2026* It works ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy to use *by on Reviewed in Australia 26 November 2023* Being a first time mum to 1000’s of Axolotl’s I found it easy to make brine shrimp with one of these ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Efficient hatchery design — No aerator needed *by on Reviewed in the United States 23 June 2026* This Brine Shrimp Hatchery Dish offers a streamlined setup process: it relies solely on light exposure to trigger hatching, eliminating the need for an air pump or aerator typically required by conventional hatching methods. This makes it a low-maintenance option for hobbyists who want to skip the extra equipment.Hatch density was consistently abundant across batches, with nauplii remaining viable and active for harvesting over a two-to-three day window — a solid margin for staggered feedings rather than a single-use hatch. The built-in mesh filter/strainer makes collection straightforward, allowing you to scoop nauplii directly without needing a separate net or pipette setup. I've been using the nauplii as a live food source for a mandarin dragonet (Synchiropus splendidus), a notoriously selective feeder that often refuses prepared foods, and the consistent, high-density yield has made it much easier to keep a steady supply of live prey available on demand.Build quality is solid — the materials feel sturdy and well-made, which is especially impressive given the price point. For what it costs, this dish punches well above its weight in terms of durability and functionality.Overall, a well-designed, fuss-free hatchery dish that delivers reliable output without added complexity, at a price that makes it an easy recommendation.Pros:Light-only hatching — no aerator or air pump requiredSimple, beginner-friendly setupGood hatching rateBuilt-in filter makes harvesting nauplii quick and easyNauplii stay viable for harvesting over 2-3 daysGood qualityGreat value for the priceGreat for picky live-food feeders like mandarin dragonets ## Frequently Bought Together - Brine Shrimp Hatchery Dish (Eggs Sold Separately.) - Grade A Brine Shrimp Eggs, 1.75 oz --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/458646428-brine-shrimp-direct-hatchery-dish-eggs-sold-separately](https://www.desertcart.in/products/458646428-brine-shrimp-direct-hatchery-dish-eggs-sold-separately) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-08-27*
