Go Fast Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 You could possibly use a medical type drip thingo to feed brine.... however they'll be in salt water so if you're feeding them to fresh water fishes you'll have to think about water volume vs salt & regular water changes to combat it.

Go Fast Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 or even just a siphon (with air-tube) from a jar on top of the tank... with a little regulator of some sort... could work.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gigitt Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 Googling... This is what I like... Hatch and feed in one unit.link Here is another DIY idea... Link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eucalypta Posted March 24, 2004 Author Share Posted March 24, 2004 thanks Chilids_au and gigitt for ur input Both are interesting feeders to ponder on. Gigitt is the one that sits inside tank available in australia? I have seen one on website in USA that is electronically operated and am waiting at this stage for an email reply from a breeder who uses them, I will advise if I receive a reply.

Gigitt Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 No... that Hatcher I have not seen in Australia... But I do like the design and ease of use. I have only seen it on 2 Web stores in USA. I also have no idea how good it is and if the brine shrimp do swim into the tank! LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bijengum Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 I've just set up one of the units referred to in the post above. "Brine Shrimp Corrall". The first of the brine shrimp have hatched. Now to see if they swim out into the tank. I'd say they might be because the fry seem to be hanging around the unit. I'll update later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bijengum Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 I got them from Pet Discounters in the US. I bought 3 to spread the freight. About $100 for the three. The brine shrimp are starting to move out into the tank(Not for very long - the fry get the idea very quickly) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
