These cysts will then change into eggs and hatch into brine shrimp. We buy the eggs and hatch the shrimp here in special tanks. It takes approximately 48 hours for a batch of brine shrimp to be ready for feeding. It's hard to get into the kreisel tanks, so the brine shrimp are piped in with a turkey baster. Brine shrimp are poured into other tanks.
Brine shrimp often look like orange clumps in the water.
They are transported in air-tight containers full of seawater. Air pockets can get caught in the jelly's system and be fatal. The animals will usually untangle just fine, even though they look messy. Aquarists also may carefully separate them with plastic rods.
