GreenWaterFarm Fairy Shrimp Thailandensis Eggs Live Fish Food for Hatching and Culture Suitable for Feed Betta Fish

I don't know how I feel about this product but it does in fact work. I dumped a ton in a 20 gallon bucket and none of them hatched but after a while I decided to dump out all the water because I need the sand on the bottom and I washed it good to use in my shrimp tank and it was infested with fairy shrimp

I set up two containers for the eggs to hatch in. Both have RO water and one is under a heat light. It's been 3 weeks and neither has hatched anything. Now, I ran into this with Moina eggs I bought a couple of months ago on Amazon. Over a month in, nothing hatched. I had four containers set up (2 with RO water, 2 with tap. 1 RO and 1 tap under a heat light, the othr two, without).I contacted Green Water Farms and they sent me more eggs. Those hatched within a couple of days without any special conditions. The original eggs eventually started hatching after a month, though not many hatched from the Amazon eggs. I think I'm running into the same problem here. There must be some mishandling of the eggs once they hit the Amazon warehouse. Could be way too hot or something. I wouldn't say too cold because it's recommended that you store them in the freezer. I may contact GWF again over this. 05/17/2023 Guess what? Still, nothing has hatched. 06/30/2023 Things started hatching a couple of weeks ago. I say things because I have 1 fairy shrimp and a ton of either Moina or Daphnia. I have one capsule left. I was hoping to raise the shrimp to feed to my juvenile axolotls. I guess that'll never happen.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: I was skeptical based on the mixed reviews, but I think it's pretty clear now that the bad reviews are because of user error on their part. Within 24 hours I have experienced about 85% hatch rate. These are clearly fairy shrimp naupli, all of them. The people that reported daphnia and moina also say they used tank water, well, duh. They introduced those other micro colonies from healthy tank water. I hatched using plain bottle water at room temp. I actually started them in a water bottle at one capsule per half bottle of water and set them in a window that gets only morning sunlight. I added microalgae to the water and I will transfer them into a shallow kiddie pool pond with a planted tank LED for grow out. Excellent product. I absolutely recommend it.

Nothing has hatched after 8 days. what I learned from my internet research is that if your ph is less than 7, the eggs won’t hatch if any at all. The requirement for alkaline water is not mentioned in the description. That is what I wished they have explained. Now I have wasted my money.

I put some in my aquarium and they didn't hatch. Put some outside in my pond. I now have hundreds!. But they are black and now are growing legs..... hummmm

The quality of the eggs are better than expected! The first capsule used took about 48 hours for most of the shrimp to be free swimming, with some still hatching. Water temp is 30 C, with just a rigid airline tube in a Ziss brine shrimp hatchery, and the smallest mini heater I could find. I plan on using spirulina powder to feed them, same as I would with brine shrimp. Looking forward to raising these.

They seemed to hatch fine, but be sure you understand that it's not a full-sized box, which out of context in the listing's images is how they look. It's a very small box, and has six little capsules of eggs in it.

Keep in mind that freshwater shrimp like cherry shrimp , crystal shrimp , etc , etc DEVOUR these eggs , they gorge themselves on them so if you want fairy shrimps to hatch you have to pour the eggs in bowl , etc where no shrimp . I added one vial in my shrimp tank and they devoured them , second vial I added in dwarf crayfish tank and now have fairy shrimp swimming around as eggs float and crays couldn't get them . Got this as a novelty but interesting life .

È uno scam bello e buono. They do not hatch

Awesome shimp to hatch for your tank.

After trying over and over to get them to hatch, none of them did. Very disappointing. I can hatch and raise baby brine shrimp, daphnia, baby fish, aquatic snails.. I have no issues hatching and following directions but these eggs just didn't hatch. Maybe I got a bad batch of eggs, either way I'm very disappointed that I spent that much just to have nothing at the end

N'ont pas eclos

I've bought these before and hatched about a hundred shrimp from a vial. This time I increased the water volume to a 10 gallon tank and created a gentle currant with a bubbler wand so the water slowly circulates the tank. I also increased the water temperature from 78F to 80F. This made a massive difference. I have hundreds and hundreds of babies this time. I think the key is volume of the water and temperature. Smaller containers of water will fluctuate more in temperature and become dirtier faster. I have no filter and I'm pouring a litre of green water from the pond in every day. They are so cool! They devour algae until the water is crystal clear!
