How to Hatch Expired Brine Shrimp in Room Temperature and Less Light. Can it be done? See how!!

- In this episode I break all the rules that we have been told about hatching brine shrimp. Room temperature water, wrong salt low light conditions that are only on for 12 hours and using cysts that expired 2 years ago.
This is my first time ever attempting to hatch brine shrimp. I have everything stacked against me.
Sometimes you just have to figure out things for yourself.
I just love it when someone tells me I can't do something or it won't work. That just makes me want to prove them wrong.
Great experiment Chris!! Worked really well!! You never cease to amaze me with your fish knowledge! By the way, that was MY water jug! It’s your now🤪
Aww thanks
Looks like your system worked pretty good even thought the Cysts were 2 years expired, I like the spout at the bottom of the container
Thanks Greg.. I appreciate it.. ya I think this is the perfect container to hatch them in
@@stubbsaquatics6080 Looks like it
Super awesome Chris….that’s a superb little shrimp tank👍
Thanks buddy
wow, these are informative and interesting experiences my brotha, thanks for sharing
Thanks my buddy..
I appreciate that
good show 😾👍
I'm so glad I spent time here learning about hatching brine shrimp with you
Thanks my friend.. Glad you liked it
Well that was quite interesting. 2 years expired and you got that result. Amazing. Your fish are so pretty.
Thanks Lau.
I will be hatching more in the spring when the fish breed.
Great sharing my friend. Its very beautiful fish. Have a good day ☺
Thanks. Have a great day
Awesome, never wanted to try out the brine shrimp due to all the factors to keep in mind but here you go and blow them away! Great stuff buddy!!!
Ty buddy.
I hope everything is rectified with the flood.
Ya I was surprised.. bonus
@@stubbsaquatics6080 yeah it is comming along, not done yet but we are getting there
Against all odds it turned out a success, I might have to give that a try for my tropical fish, Nice one Chris 👌👍
Thanks so much Gary.
I will definitely be hatching more in the spring and summer when I breed more fish
Beautiful aquarium! Wonderful fish! Greetings from Palma de Mallorca 👍
Thanks so very much to you in Spain
Great experiment and even greater result!
Ty
Perfect little shelf and perfect little jar for the brine shrimp!!
You must have been reading my mind because this is the perfect experiment for me at this very moment!! I have some brine shrimp eggs that are exactly the same being expired that a friend sent me 🎉
Yes we support Canadians 😎🤣
Kosher salt I did not know that 🤔
Shuckyfire, I see movement🤯🤣
Lookie there success 🎉🙌!!
We need to do a series on fish mythbusting!!
Father Fish busted a few myths a year ago with using decapsulated brine shrimp eggs but this experiment was the best I've ever seen!!
Good job Chris 👍
Stubb's Aquatics at lake "Car Cha"🤣🤣
I give this video a 5 out of five!!🙌💪✨(well that's really for all your videos)💖🥰🤣
Thanks for sharing this experiment with us!! I think I have some hope now!! Hope you and your family have a wonderful and blessed day!!! Thank you for sharing! 🌿🐟🌿♥️💖🥰
Plus we're always trying to be sold a fancy Brine shrimp hatchery. I do see the convenience of having something fancy but for some of us knowledge like this is priceless 🙏 thank you Chris
Awww thanks Mary.
5 out of 5.. WOW...
I wish people saw the video🫣
And you got the lake part right now.
I appreciate everything my friend
Against all odds you managed to get them to hatch... great job Chris and great experiment 👍😁
Thanks buddy.. I was surprised they hatched.. I will hatch more in the spring to feed the fry
@@stubbsaquatics6080 looking forward to it buddy!!
Loved the experiment chris and what a result
Lovely and relaxing to listen to you , some lovely looking fish you have 👍🏼👍🏼
All the best Mike 👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks Mike.
I really appreciate that
I've actually had them hatch after five years. Only part of them hatched but still surprised me. 😮
That is awesome Terry.. I was pleasantly surprised that they hatched given the low light and temps
Yay! Go Chris! Well done on your little experiment mate ! You did a great job in getting these to hatch. Glad to see all your fish enjoyed them 🙂
Thanks guys.. I really appreciate that.. I hope to do a few more in the spring when I do a few spawns
This is so cool.i never seen like this before. very interesting lots of small fish. Fully watched from Philippines
Thanks.. they are shrimp to feed the fish. Hello Philippines ..from Canada 🇨🇦
I'm impressed that you can fit in your Fish Room :)
😃
Awesome experiment Chris, and thanks for the Info... Happy fish keeping!!! LIKE#56
Thanks Skip
Awesome man 👌👌 worked out a treat mate live food plus all the nutrition values for your fish and now you know it works even better for the next time nice one 👍👍👍
👊 🙌.
Thanks buddy.. I appreciate that..
Good experiment Chis 👍
Surprised the eggs can stay on a shelf, but then are still viable after such a long time.
Stay safe.
Thanks Keith.
I am glad they did so well.. will be hatching more come spring.
Hi Chris! I am like you too and I like to test and try things directly. The hatching of artemia cysts depends on many factors, light, oxygenation, temperature and salinity. If we take nature as an example, these ancient crustaceans have survived environmental catastrophes for millennia and climate change that we have no idea.
They can hatch in even difficult conditions.
Great sharing of your experience! 4 Like Good weekend
Thanks Marco.. I think there are so many variables. I like pushing the limits just like you..
I am happy you found it interesting
I have never seen this before and soo cool to see Chris. I learn something new as always. Hope your week is off to a great start and another great video my friend😁
Ty Pattie.. Glad you enjoyed it
I had a brine shrimp hatchery going for MONTHS. What I learned is that too much aeration caused stress. I used very light aeration, no heater, and fed them with spirulina powder. They lasted for around 6 months and they bred as well. It was fun! I made sure not to let them get too crowded as well. Crowding will cause your culture to crash.
Thanks so very much for watching and commenting. I really appreciate your tips. I will definitely try that as I always wanted to try to raise them to adulthood.
Wow!!! This was really cool to watch!!!
Awww thanks I really appreciate that
What a cool stuff to witness! Thanks for sharing! You made the fishes big and small happy!
Aww that's very nice of you
I never understood why they say use this salt and stuff you just showed it don’t matter what salt you use great video 💪💪
Take it from a wellness coordinator….salt is salt….I literally talk about this everyday of my life to people🧂🧂😆😆
I agree with JD salt is salt.. I am more surprised with the low temps and less light
@@stubbsaquatics6080 For sure it was an awesome experiment Chris yeah I basically do presentations to medical personnel including doctors nutritionist dietitians and practitioners literally all the time about salt…. It is unbelievable how little these people really know about it and they’re the ones that you know the most
@@jackanddan ya... Good point.. always good to learn..
I appreciate everything you do for the community and for everyone outside it too
I came back to watch again 😁 I really need to get on my hatching game 🤣🙌😁🌿🐟🌿
Hahahaha, thanks my kind friend
Wow amazing experiment, This is awesome you did it!
Thanks Ana..
Like you I like a challenge
great sharing friend, your experiment had a good result, have a nice weekend
Thanks.
You as well my friend
Love it Dear. Really Great Things
Thanks
Cool my friend its nice to do experiments... that's nice my friend very informative and really interesting 😊👍👍👍...
Aww thanks Kristel
Such a great video brother 👍 keep up the good work 😁
Thanks buddy
Great video really enjoyed this experiment 👍
Thanks buddy
Nice one Chris 👌
Thanks buddy
So cool they turned out !! The fish took no time hunting them down! What experiment is next !?
Thanks.. you put the idea into my head
I love these experiments. Canada Dry baby! 😆. Dang expiration dates mean nothing apparently. Seriously cool dude.
Thanks.. I appreciate that.. Like you I like to prove that I don't have to follow the rules when it calls for growing/hatching.. 👍🫣😃
I think they should extend that expiration date by a few years! I'm really glad you tried this without the light and heat. I might be wrong, but I believe those sea monkey kits for kids just had you hatching them at room temperature in their instructions. Very cool experiment and you had the perfect jar for it with the spout at the bottom, too! Great video! 🙂👍
I remember doing the sea monkeys too.. I think they called for constant light but I can't remember.
I am just glad they hatched.. your rainbows and cpd would go nuts for them
@@stubbsaquatics6080 yeah, I don't remember exactly. They probably would, but I try to keep the fish I'm trying to breed fairly full to try to cut down on egg and baby snacking, and I've heard overfeeding live baby brine can cause hydra outbreaks--idk if that's true though? I might just stick to frozen foods for those guys. I'm scared of hydra!
@@TarasTankFriends I think more risk of hydra coming in from introducing plants... But who knows
@@stubbsaquatics6080 that's what I would think, too, because the hydra can't just spontaneously generate out of nowhere in the tank...? 🤷♀️ idk, there's a lot of misinformation out there... You disproved some of that misinformation regarding hatching baby brine!
I literally have a sea monkey kit I found from when I was a kid. It says for it all to be done at room temp lol I was always under the impression those could last for decades as long as they weren't crushed lol but idk
Really good video Chris! What makes good content is breaking all rules and a final result! Fish police will probably turn up lol the illusion of an expiry date
Lol.. not the fish police..
Thanks buddy
@@stubbsaquatics6080 Lol good job Chris. Your video for Joseph's challenge is awesome too. Definite upper hand, I better get my one in before you win lol
@@mraquaticnews5676 haha 😃 thanks
@@stubbsaquatics6080 ✌
Some great tips. When are you building my aquarium?
Hahahaha. Will see
They did quite well, all things considered...
I was pleasantly surprised
Great experiment Chris! Love the Stubbs Aquatic stick on your fish tank. Got an online store?
Thanks Mike.. lol not yet haha
Loved it!
Thanks Carm
Ooo makes me want to try a brine shrimp hatchery lol love the patch wall budddy!
Haha
@@stubbsaquatics6080 are those your patches buddy?
As in police
I was a cop for 30 years, so yes..
@@stubbsaquatics6080 that's awesome buddy thank you for serving your community!
I'm getting my expired Brine Shrimp eggs out of the cupboard now :)
Nice!!! Good luck.. just takes a few extra days in cooler temps
Interesting video Chris!
Thanks I appreciate that
HECK OF A JOB, we use alot of baby brine and it make a huge difference with the health of our fish. You were right to try out the expired cysts. I was actually surprised, it looks like a high percentage hatch. Where they stored in the fridge?
Thanks.. the cycts were not kept in a fridge but were kept in my basement.
I was given several packages from my LFS as they couldn't sell them.
They are expensive to buy as you know.
I am surprised with the lack of heat and light that it was so high of a hatch
@@stubbsaquatics6080 do you think your going to keep going with the brine shrimp regularly? It does take a little work and it's less convenient than tossing in some flakes, but the Fish do love it
I have about 8 packs of the stuff... Will probably hold off until spring when I breed my shubunkin goldfish , koi and barbs ..
@@stubbsaquatics6080 too bad your so far away from Ohio people around here are Always looking for good koi and goldfish
Ohio is a great state.. Has a bit of everything. But is a 6 hour drive just to get there lol
Great video bud Great result 👍
Thanks so very much
Great video my man 👍👍👍
Thanks so much
I come from Josephs Tropical Tanks, you have a good channel, a hug friend like 49
Thanks my friend
It worked! Expired and all!! Dang, so did the fish eat them all within 2 days? Seems like a lot.
Thanks Dee.. it was a lot.. they ate them for 3 days.
I was shocked more because of the temperature
Nice vid mate! A lot of rules I havent heard about before. I used the same batch for 10 years. Does not have an expedition date on it but worked good tha last time I needed it. Like another 10 years ago. Have some left, maybe I should try to hatch now? I have allways hatched in the dark and let the shrimp swim to the light. Temperature, I have never bothered about. All that matters in my experience is right amount of salt. I used normal table salt and refractometer.
Thanks Magnus.. You should try it .. would be interested in the results.
Everything I read about them being warm water, light and salt indicated that I didn't follow the rules.. Thanks buddy
@@stubbsaquatics6080 I guess Internet was not a thing in my life when I started. Thats why I didnt know about the rules. Anyway: breaking rules and try for one self is allways a good way for learning. If everyone oblige to rules ther would be no progress. 😀👍
I agree totally
Thank you for this great video , have a great evening 👍👍👍🙋+
Thanks so very much for your kindness and support
greetings from Indonesia
Thanks again
Canada dry is the best thing came out of Canada 🇨🇦
The Mounties are cute to look at… don’t they ride moose?
Breaking the rules… all of them!!! Success. It’s totally gross dude. If that juice spilled on me I would freak out like a five-year-old girl.
I’d like to see you chug a glass of that 🤮
Enjoyed this Stubbs 👍
Bahaha.. no I definitely won't be drinking that!!!!
I thought Justin Bieber was the best thing that ever came out of Canada.. you can keep him
Thanks buddy
@@stubbsaquatics6080
Let’s go with Canadian mist
your video is now live
Thanks Joseph
Wow that’s cool 😎
Thanks buddy.. hope all is well
Are brine shrimp the "sea monkeys" you could buy from the back of old archie comics???
Lol I think they are very similar.. Brine shrimp cysts are very expensive to buy.
Hi friend☺, I hope you’re well and in good health, I just found your channel, you have very nice content here, I will always pass by to watch your amazing videos, Lets stay in touch💕🌹, Have a wonderful day and see you soon!54
