hmm.. decap eggs seems lots of processing to do..
i bought my 1bottle 100g eggs thru ebay(used like 3-4years).. hatch rate 90^ % still..
using sieve i forgot whats the micron sieve size/number, from taiwan, which the sieve removes the hatch/unhatch eggs shell.. then drips the bbs to SERA/hobby artemia sieve..
wash the artemia with clean water.. ready to feed..

Are you also decap BBS eggs using bleach? Is there any good brand of decapped BBS eggs? Any idea on the hatching rate for those off the shelf decapped BBS eggs? TIA.

The eggs are "wet"...they are bubbled for a period of time to soften the shell so that when bleach is used...it is easier to burn away the shell.

Yes I use bleach...normal household bleach to decap and uses normal cheap vinegar to remove the bleach...same like in the video.

You can buy decapped eggs from Af Buy/Sell...some bros like Ozone does carry extra quantity as they into breeding.

Good bbs on shelf...please note that bbs eggs best kept in vegetable compartment of fridge...those you see sitting on shelf especially sitting there long time...chances quality of eggs deteriorate...try get those that are recently imported and try store eggs in the fridge. Hatching rate varies on the quality of eggs and how long it been sitting on shelf. I ever through an American friend airfreighted some direct from Salt Lake City...the hatch rate was fantastic....bought direct from Salt Lake manufacturer.
