The Dupla Artemia Hatchery is designed to take the hassle out of hatching brine shrimp. Instead of juggling DIY bottles and makeshift setups, this purpose‑built hatchery provides a clean, efficient way to produce fresh Artemia nauplii whenever your fish need them.
Used with a good brine shrimp egg (such as Dupla Artemia Brine Shrimp Egg) and marine salt, the Dupla Artemia Hatchery helps you achieve consistent hatches and a reliable supply of live food.
Why Use the Dupla Artemia Hatchery?
The Dupla Artemia Hatchery is ideal if you want:
- A simple, dedicated system for hatching brine shrimp
- More consistent hatch rates than most DIY bottle setups
- An easy way to harvest nauplii without scooping lots of shells
- A compact unit that fits neatly in your fishroom or under your tank
Freshly hatched Artemia from the Dupla Artemia Hatchery are perfect for fry, small tetras, rainbowfish, dwarf cichlids, livebearers and many other species.
How the Dupla Artemia Hatchery Works
While exact design details vary, the Dupla Artemia Hatchery generally works as follows:
- Fill the hatchery with salted water to the indicated level.
- Add the recommended amount of brine shrimp eggs.
- Connect an air pump to provide strong aeration, keeping eggs in suspension.
- Maintain a suitable temperature (often around 26–28°C).
- After roughly 24–36 hours, the eggs hatch into active nauplii.
The design of the Dupla Artemia Hatchery helps separate empty shells from the nauplii, making it easier to collect clean, live food for your fish.
