Dupla Artemix is designed to make hatching brine shrimp as simple as possible. Instead of buying eggs and salt separately and measuring out each component, Dupla Artemix provides a pre‑mixed blend tailored for Artemia hatching. Just add Dupla Artemix to water, aerate and wait for the nauplii to hatch.
This makes Dupla Artemix ideal for busy hobbyists and breeders who want consistent, high‑quality live food without extra fuss.
Why Choose Dupla Artemix?
Using Dupla Artemix offers several advantages:
- Pre‑mixed Artemia eggs and salt in one product
- No need to measure separate components or guess salinity
- Helps achieve reliable, repeatable hatch rates
- Perfect for fry, small community fish and conditioning breeders
With Dupla Artemix, setting up a brine shrimp hatch is as easy as adding the recommended amount to water and turning on the air pump.
How to Use Dupla Artemix
Always follow the specific instructions on the Dupla Artemix packaging, but a typical method is:
- Fill your brine shrimp hatchery or container with fresh water to the indicated level.
- Add the recommended dose of Dupla Artemix.
- Stir until the mix is fully dissolved and evenly distributed.
- Provide strong aeration with an air stone to keep everything in suspension.
- Maintain a suitable temperature (often around 26–28°C).
- After roughly 24–36 hours, your Dupla Artemix batch should produce active Artemia nauplii ready to harvest.
Once hatched, strain the nauplii through a fine sieve (such as Dupla Artemia Sive), rinse with fresh water, and feed directly to your fish.
Benefits of Live Food from Dupla Artemix
Brine shrimp nauplii hatched from Dupla Artemix are:
- High in protein, supporting fast fry growth and strong development
- Easily digested, making them suitable for small mouths and delicate species
- Naturally active and bright, triggering a strong feeding response
Regular feeding of live Artemia from Dupla Artemix can help:
- Improve growth and survival rates in fry
- Enhance colour and condition in adult fish
- Support breeding and recovery after spawning
Ideal for Complete Dupla Artemia Systems
Dupla Artemix works well on its own as a convenient all‑in‑one mix, but it also fits neatly into a full Dupla Artemia setup:
- Use Dupla Artemia Hatchery for efficient, controlled hatching
- Use Dupla Artemia Sive to harvest and rinse nauplii
- Supplement or alternate with Dupla Artemia Brine Shrimp Egg and Dupla Artemia Salt 195g if you prefer separate components
Together, these products give you flexibility and reliability in how you produce live food for your aquarium.
