Sparky Posted October 27, 2012 Report Share Posted October 27, 2012 lol lots, I just googled your question and all I could find was people recommending you only use 1/4 of a teaspoon for a batch of fry and even that should last 2 days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matmatmat Posted October 27, 2012 Report Share Posted October 27, 2012 If they came from Pond N-5 near San Francisco Bay which has the smallest commercially available eggs, 330,000 to 400,000 eggs/gram If from San Francisco Bay itself, Minimum 280,000 eggs/gram If from the north arm of the Great Salt Lake, Utah, Minimum 260,000 eggs/gram. If from other sources, they can be less than 250,000 eggs/gram. The lower the number of eggs per gram, the bigger the eggs and the bigger the nauplii that hatch from them. Found on google somewhere all credits due to some website dude I forgot before I closed the page;) http://www.argent-labs.com/argentwebsite/artemia.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karen Posted October 27, 2012 Report Share Posted October 27, 2012 lol well done mat, so from there if we know where the eggs come from we can work out how many grams to a teaspoon then multiply by the many thousands from that location and then divide by the percentage hatch rate and know just how many will hatch .. argh think i should have stayed out a bit longer tonight : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
