Then add the paste to the Artemia tank until the water is slightly cloudy again. Ensure that the Artemia tank is aerated constantly. Partial water changes should be carried out weekly. Artemia take about fourteen days to reach maturity, after which they produce their own eggs. It's better to have several containers going simultaneously and to take a little from each.
Courtship is similar across species.
Shortly after dawn, the male and female come together, the male inflates his pouch with water, and both sexes signal their interest in courtship by brightening significantly. At frequent intervals, they release the holdfast and make their way, in tight parallel formation, across the bottom to another holdfast. The male bends vigorously, jackknifing his tail to meet his trunk, thus compressing the pouch. This motion pumps water in and out of the pouch and closely resembles the motion to release the young at birth. On the third morning of courtship, the female's trunk becomes rounded, as she ripens the eggs in her ovary, and her ovipositor begins to protrude.
