Re: Hatching Brine Shrimp
Sorry I got to this late.
Yes this is correct, moisture and heat are the factors to watch. I store my
eggs in a sealed container in the freezer. The container contains about 1/8
cup dry rice (great descant). I change the rice once a month. I do use Instant
Ocean, recycled one time.
The SFB brand can I purchased a year and a half ago is still giving 95% hatch
rate in my hands.
Peace
