From Live Brine Shrimp Hatchery Kits available in hobby sizes to commercial sizes, to Brine Shrimp Culture Kits and Live Brine Shrimp Food, we have everything you need to successfully grow and feed vibrant, healthy brine shrimp.

Attention Aquarists,
Fish Breeders and Fish Farmers

Are you tired of the frustration and expense associated with obtaining live brine shrimp? Outrageous shipping costs make buying live brine shrimp on the web too expensive. In addition, the freight handlers freeze or boil the shrimp during transit and you are left with nothing to feed your delicate specimens or fry. Aquaculturist and marine biologist, Michael F. McMaster has focused on large batch culture of live brine shrimp for the commercial sector for the past 48 years. During that time, Mike’s companies have supplied live brine shrimp in all phases of growth and development to pet shops, hobbyists, public and private aquariums, research facilities, and aquaculturists.

The Technology

McMaster has recently developed the technology for the successful small batch culture of live brine shrimp. Now you can grow all the brine shrimp you need at an affordable cost in your own home, shop or farm. It’s simple and easy with GrowBrineShrimp.com’s technology.

What we offer

These Brine Shrimp Grow Kits are currently offered in 1 gallon mini farm kit, (for young marine biologists ages 8 to 18, for school biology classes, for research and toxicity testing, etc.), 10-, 20- and 40 gallon sizes (larger kits available upon request). All you need to do is purchase the recommended tank size that best suits your needs and space. The water chemistry and dry food packets provided take all the guess work and frustration out of rearing brine shrimp in small batch culture.

SAVE YOUR SEAHORSE PETS

FEED THEM LIVE HOME-GROWN BRINE SHRIMP

A message from the Founders:

For over fifty years our various pet fish supply companies have offered wild caught and tank raised Caribbean Black Giant Sea Horses. In fact, our company was the first to offer this species as tank raised ‘Sea Colts’, which was the trade name at the time. The baby sea horses were gathered from mature wild adult male sea horses. For the first time ever, we were able to grow these small, newly expelled sea horses, to 2 to 2 ½ inches long. The only way this could be done was by feeding them various sizes of farmed live brine shrimp. At that time, that was easy as we owned and operated the world’s first (late 1970’s) brine shrimp farm. From there, we shipped live brine shrimp by air freight to distributors and pet stores nationwide.

Unfortunately, over the years the marine pet fish industry has neglected the right approach to feeding and maintaining healthy sea horses of any size or species. Most sea horses that are kept in marine aquarium confinement die of starvation before they are 90 days old. Why? Sea horses, as well as other very sensitive marine species, only want to eat live foods. Fish food pellets or flaks are of no interest to these species and they will not try to eat them. Properly fed home grown live brine shrimp is the answer as to how to maintain healthy and vibrant sea horses as well as other live food dependent aquatic species of both marine and freshwater origin.

The do-it-yourself home grow brine shrimp kits are easy and affordable. They are also nutritionally enhanced due to the special mixture of our Special Brine Shrimp Food.

These kits can be purchased online on our shop or on eBay under the same search name. (Soon to be available at Amazon).

Product Information

Sizes from 10 gallons to commercial sizes 20,000 gallons and larger.

In the science of aquaculture, live brine shrimp are known to be Nature’s best food for the growth of fish and invertebrates. With the GrowBrineShrimp.com Mini-Farm kits, you can now easily raise nutritious brine shrimp at home. The standard Mini-Farm kits are 1 gallon, 10 gallon, 20 gallon and 40 gallon. The 1 gallon kit includes a plastic bowl but for the larger sizes, you will need to provide the appropriate size of culture tank.

The Special Brine Shrimp Salt contains all the necessary chemical components and resting brine shrimp eggs. Just add the salt mixture to freshwater. The Special Brine Shrimp Food has been specifically formulated to enhance brine shrimp growth.

A Mini-Farm kit can produce 500-1000 large, adult brine shrimp per gallon of culture water in 12-15 days at 80 degrees F. To calculate estimated production, simply multiply 500-1000 brine shrimp times the gallons of culture water.

1 gallon Mini-Farm kit = 500-1000 brine shrimp
20 gallon Mini-Farm kit = 10,000-20,000 brine shrimp
20,000 gallon commercial kit = 10,000,000-20,000,000 brine shrimp
