Therfore have you met the following criteria: 1. temp 28-30c 2. pH min 8 3. Aeration to ensure all eggs are in suspension. 4. followed the salt/egg mix per volume of water. 5. Used a "pyramid" shaped container. After 24hrs (usually), turn off air, wait 5mins & the unhatched eggs will fall to the lowest point. Just above this area will be an orange mass....live baby brine shrimp....your a daddy. CAREFULLY syphon off the orange mass, rinse them & feed them to your fry/fish. Restart, & you may get another hatch in a further 12hrs, albeit less qty. Throw everything away & sterilize out your container in readiness for next time. graham
