    Bro,
    I would like to point out that decap BBS eggs and normal BBS eggs are different. Basically you do not hatch the decap BBS eggs so hatch rade does not mean anything. It is the normal BBS eggs that you need to hatch.

    Luenny, you can also hatch the decapsulated brineshrimp eggs... In fact, they were decapsulated so that the hatch rate can be increased greatly...

    With decapsulated eggs, they can be also be fed directly to smaller fish...

    Hi Justikanz,
    I always thought the eggs wouldn't hatch anymore because of the bleaching process use to remove the shells of the eggs. Won't that already kill the baby brine shrimp? Can it still hatch?

    Hmm ... I didn't know that. I always just dump them in the tank and feed directly. I was told no hatching required and feeding direct is better because the cysts still have yolk. Hahaha ... ok, so sorry for the confusion created.

    there is article in killies (forgot the link, it is in one of the thread) on how to make decap bbs with bleaching. Amazingly it still can hatch. I was always though bleach kill anything.
