Most LFS have them. It's usually made from metal, with a valve at one end and threaded at the other.
2. What changes occured to the brine shrimp eggs when they are stored at room temperature (as opposed to storing in the fridge) such that they take longer to hatch or don't even hatch?
I suspect it's the humidity that makes the BBS eggs think it's time to hatch, but then there's no water!!
3. In the 2 articles mentioned above, it was stated that some fish shops sell eggs that never hatch. Can anyone recommend any fish shops that sells "good quality" eggs that usually will hatch given the right condition?
And if it is ok to reveal names of fish shops that sell "eggs that don't hatch", please let me know too.
Quality BBS eggs, in film canisters, were sold at the gathering. You were probably too busy looking at the fishes and missed the BBS! :wink:
4. What is a turkey baster?
How could you have missed THAT? Did you see Sia Meng using a mother of a eye-dropper?... THAT's a turkey baster!
5. Do local fish shops sell brine shrimp net specifically as opposed to a normal fish net?
Filter through a fine-knit men's hankerchief and save the money on BBS instead.
6. How long can the decapsulated eggs be stored in the fridge before they die off, if they do die off?
I use mine up before the eggs go bad... so someone else will have to answer this
I'm back & keeping 'em fingers wet,
