Feeding Parosphromenus

…. means that you have to figure out many different ways of providing good live food as it is difficult to get them to take any other kinds of foods. Hatching brine shrimp is one of the foods which is often used, and we are often asked how to do this. 

Depending on which way you look at it, brine shrimp hatcheries can be as simple or as complicated as you like and there are many designs on the market. These homemade  hatcheries  are used by our UK co-ordinator Kevin Marshall who has made them  from 1 litre juice bottles along with a push fit  on/off valve  and  a few odds and ends.  While the overall design is one that has been around for a number of years the construction method is simple and cost effective.

I am certain there are many other ways of doing this, you are welcome to show us your way along with any tips and tricks that you have about brine shrimp in the comments below.
