The secret to breeding tropical fish and gold fish...

Tropical fish and gold fish fry need good food to survive.

If you are like me and have no problem breeding tropical fish and gold fish but just can’t get them to survive then I have the answer for you.

Young fry need food, just like any baby you need to feed them and feed them well.

Manny times I would have the water conditions right and my fish would breed. I would have thousands of baby fry. The feeling of excitement and achievement is fantastic you are on top of the world. Then you do everything you know how only to find the baby fry start to die. First one then two then soon enough they are all gone.

So back to the drawing board and you hope that the next spawn to be more successful.

Well the answer is simple...

Hatching brine shrimp for fry food.

Tropical fish or gold fish fry do not eat brine shrimp eggs so before you can feed your fry you need to hatch the brine shrimp.

There are many different ways to hatch brine shrimp. There are also many different kits and brine shrimp hatchery’s on the market and although some work better than others the important thing is they work. So if you have bought a hatchery I suggest that you follow the instructions supplied

The brine shrimp hatching method I and going to explain is one that has work for me for many years and as far as I am concerned it is the best and most practical way to hatch brine shrimp in bulk for feeding fry...
