Artemia as food for breeding
Artemia, also known as brine shrimp, are small crustaceans that are found in salt lakes and salty waters all over the world. Due to their high nutrient content and versatility, Artemia have become an indispensable food in aquariums and aquaculture. For decades, the crustaceans have been successfully used to breed fish and other aquatic organisms. Their eggs, the so-called cysts, are particularly fascinating: they can survive for years in a dormant state and only hatch on contact with salt water. They are rich in proteins and essential fatty acids, which promote the growth and health of fish. Artemia are easy to cultivate and feed as food.
Hatching Artemia yourself - how it works
If you use the right products and follow the instructions, it is relatively easy to breed Artemia as food yourself. Here is a guide on how to hatch them and feed the nauplii within 24 hours of hatching:
Step 1 - Prepare saltwater: Prepare a saltwater solution with a concentration of 15 to 30 g/l. Do not use inferior salt for this, but our special Artemia salt for optimum hatching conditions.
Step 2 - Add eggs: Pour the Artemia eggs into the prepared salt water. A quantity of about 1 gram of eggs per liter of water is ideal.
Step 3 - Aeration: Provide intensive aeration to ensure that the eggs remain in constant motion and do not sediment.
Step 4 - Temperature and light: Keep the temperature between 25°C and 28°C and ensure good lighting as light aids the hatching process. We recommend an illuminance of around 2000 lux.
Step 5 - Hatching: The nauplii usually develop within 24 to 48 hours.
Step 6 - Feeding the nauplii: Artemia food should be fed in the form of freshly hatched nauplii within 24 hours to ensure the highest nutritional value. Or enrich them with RotiBomb from algova (Artemia nauplii food). It contains a mixture of microalgae and probiotic microorganisms that increase the nutritional value of the nauplii and promote their health.
