Default how to separate hatched artemia from egg shells?

Can someone please advise, as to how to separate hatched artemia from the egg shells?

I am currently hatching them using the 1.5L bottle inverted, with bubbling.

Thanks

Hi,

To hatch. Stop the bubblings and shine a light source at the bottom of the bottle where the tube is. Then from there, the bbs(baby artemia) should gather at where the light source is and you would be able to suck them out.

Hope it helps,
Melvin

the artemia only start to hatch after I move the hatcher from living room to the balcony. I guess it must have been something to do with the lights

Hello There,
i just shut down the blubbering 15min before feeding with artemia, and then the artemias´s can sink down in this time, and i can suck them from the bottom of the bottle!
