Hi,

I heard there are two kinds of the decapulated brine shrimp eggs; one could hatch and the other couldn't. What is the differecne between the two? I am really tired of picking out the brine shrimp egg shells.

Anyone has used the JPD Brine Shrimp hatching device which claims that it could automatically seperate bbs and shells? The other amazing thing is that they claim the bbs will swim out of the device by itself on the ad. How does it perform? I guess it's for lazy bone like me.

Hi Wo,

One of the angelfish breeders I met said he decapsulates the eggs.

I typed up "decapsulated brine shrimp" on www.google.com and found several links, here are a couple:

the dried decapsulated brine eggs that you can buy will ussually not hatch, if you de-cap the eggs yourself and keep them in the fridge they will hatch.
