Frequently asked questions

Can I use normal salt for breeding Artemia?

In principle, iodine-free salt can be used for breeding. However, the composition of HOBBY Artemia Salt corresponds exactly to the salt water of the Artemia's area of origin. It also contains traces of plankton for feeding the hatched nauplii. According to scientific findings, the best hatching is achieved with HOBBY Artemia Salt.

Why are my Artemia nauplii dying?

There are numerous reasons for the death of Artemia euplii, from the quality or contamination of the water used, to the quality and quantity of the food given, the hygiene during rearing and the use of suitable rearing containers. We recommend the reference book "Artemia - Der Urzeitkrebs" by Oliver Drewes from the VIVARIA publishing house. Illustrated with numerous microscope photographs and drawings, the book describes the seven recognised Artemia species according to the current state of knowledge. After describing the special reproductive biology, the most successful rearing systems are presented. A separate chapter "Artemia in aquaristics" provides practical tips, for example on increasing the hatching rate and the survival rate of nauplii and Artemia.
