Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What are Artemia cysts?

Artemia cysts are dormant brine shrimp eggs that hatch into live baby brine shrimp when placed in saltwater under suitable conditions.

How long do they take to hatch?

Typically 24–36 hours, depending on water temperature, salinity, and aeration.

Can I feed the eggs directly to my fish?

No. The eggs should be hatched first before feeding. Newly hatched Artemia provide significantly better nutrition.

Do I need an air pump?

Yes. Strong aeration improves oxygen levels and keeps the eggs suspended, resulting in a higher hatch rate.

What temperature is best?

Maintain the water between 26°C and 30°C for optimal hatching.

Can I use table salt?

Aquarium salt or rock salt is recommended for the best hatch rate.
