Frequently Asked Questions:

Can I use regular salt for hatching Artemia?
In principle, iodine-free salt can be used for hatching. However, HOBBY Artemia salt exactly matches the composition of the seawater from the Artemia's natural habitat. It also contains traces of plankton for the nourishment of the hatched nauplii. According to scientific findings, 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 the hatching process, to the use of suitable hatching containers. We recommend the specialized book "Artemia – The Brine Shrimp" by Oliver Drewes from VIVARIA Verlag. This book describes, illustrated with numerous microscopic images and drawings, the seven recognized species of Artemia according to current knowledge. After detailing the specific reproductive biology, the most successful hatching systems are presented. A dedicated chapter "Artemia in Aquaristics" offers practical tips, such as how to increase the hatching rate and the survival rate of nauplii and Artemia.
