HATCHING AND FEEDING BBS
First fill a clean hatching container with tap water with a temp between 80- 82 degrees F.Add enough declorinator to detoxify chloramines if present.Stir mix, if your tap water contains chlorine not removing it with declor. may be beneficial. Aeration will remove chlorine by the time your cyst hatch. We use two liter soda bottles as a hatcheries
Recipe:
Add 1-2 tablespoons of aquarium salt per one liter of water to obtain a 20-30 ppt salinity. A starting PH of 8.0 or higher is recommended. A teaspoon of baking soda may be used to buffer your water.
Add 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of brine shrimp cyst, mix cover with a lid and begin to aerate.
Use a 40 watt incandescent light bulb to maintain a temp or 80 to 82 F , place the bulb 4 to 6 inches away from your hatching container. (place a glass thermometer inside the container.) Adjust the bulb as needed.
Allow the hatch mix to run for 24 hours ,hatching will start within 14 to 18 hours but wait the full 24 for the best harvest.
After all have hatched , stop the air flow and place close to a light source.
Wait 5 to 10 minutes then drain mix into a paper coffee filter , rinse well with water then place in a plastic container until your ready to feed .
You can keep your BBS in the fridge for up to three days .
FEEDING THE BBS TO YOUR FISH
We use a turkey baster to siphon up the BBS and feed our fry this way.
Caution : do not over feed , only feed what your fry can consume in 5 minutes. Then remove any un-eaten BBS .

Tomorrow we will post a Genetic log and Angelfish gene abbreviations.
We have an Angelfish Gene Mutation computer program so if anyone wants to know what the possible outcomes of their pairs will be Pm me and I will let you know.
This program is spot on!! It has not failed yet.

I've looked at you site, it looks very nice.
I litteraly fell in to having breeding angels, I had 5 angels, ended up with 2 pairs, and had to find a new home for the 5th angel cause the pairs where picking on him. each pair has choosen a end of the tank, and guards to the 1/3 mark the middle my cories and otheres are happy to live. My gold male (Goldy) and silver red eye femail with black fins (Sterling) have free swiming fry. I'm looking forward to seeing how they turn out. At the other end of the tank I have another gold male that has a speckled pattern (Dots) and a silver with black stripes and red eyes femail (Stripes) that are cleaning to lay eggs soon. BTW my kids names the fish.

We will continue this project hopefully sometime mid July , we have been super busy preparing for the busy season . We want to bring some of our new strains to the market in time for the season. Business is project to be less than last year but we are still hopeful that people will wake up are start demanding quality locally breed instead of the crap that has been imported lately.
I did not forget as soon as we can come up for air, we will make this a priority.
