Hatching Instructions:
Prepare the Water: Use 25g of mix per just under a litre of clean tap water. No need for dechlorinator—chlorine helps soften egg shells.
Set the Conditions: Maintain a temperature of 28°C with constant light.
Aerate: Use gentle aeration to keep the eggs suspended. A small aquarium air pump works well.
Hatch: Under ideal conditions, nauplii hatch within 24-36h with up to 90% success depending on type. If conditions vary, allow up to 48h. Suitable even for simple home setups.
Harvest: Separate the egg from the nauplii using fine mesh nets (80-200 micron) or attract them with a light source and collect via pipette.
Storage:
Keep tightly sealed in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. Use within 6 months of opening. For long-term storage (up to 2 years), refrigerate or freeze. Note: Lower temperatures may affect moisture levels and reduce hatch performance over time.
Safety:
Not for human consumption. Keep away from children—small parts may pose a choking hazard. Regularly test your water parameters for best results.
