Artemia cysts that are hatched provide ideal feed for fry. No other food is as rich in natural nutrients. It promotes color development and awakens natural hunting instincts.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Can I use regular salt for hatching Artemia?
In principle, iodide-free salt can be used for hatching. However, HOBBY Artemia salt is specifically formulated to match the seawater composition of the Artemia's natural habitat. It also contains traces of plankton for the nutrition of the hatched nauplii. Scientific findings indicate that the best hatching results are achieved with HOBBY Artemia salt.
Why are my Artemia nauplii dying?
There are numerous reasons for the death of Artemia nauplii, ranging from the quality or contamination of the water used, the quality and quantity of the feed provided, hygiene during rearing, to the use of suitable rearing containers. We recommend the specialized book "Artemia – The Brine Shrimp" by Oliver Drewes from VIVARIA Verlag. The book describes, with numerous microscope images and illustrations, the seven recognized species of Artemia according to current knowledge. After detailing the specific reproductive biology, the most successful rearing systems are presented. A dedicated chapter "Artemia in Aquaristics" offers practical tips, for example, on increasing hatching rates and survival rates of nauplii and Artemia.
