[Killietalk] Hatching Brine shrimp questions

["Mark Pearlscott" <mark at pearlscott_com>]

Hello All,

Never having hatched brine shrimp at home before, I was wondering...

1) How important is light for hatching?
2) How much light is really needed?
3) At lower temperature the hatch is delayed?
4) How can I tell when the eggs have really hatched?  Will it be
obvious?

I have an inverted 2 Liter bottle hatchery, which is in a room that
varies from 60DF to 72DF (night/day), and no lights are on in the room
from Midnight to 7AM.  Just wondering what issues I will need to
correct... though I'm not worried about delayed hatches, as I can always
set up more hatcheries to be able to feed every day.

Thanks for your input,

Mark Pearlscott
