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.

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
