Greenwaterfarm Moina Macrocopa Eggs (Water Flea) Live Fish Food for Hatching and Culture, Suitable for Feed Betta Fish

None of the eggs hatched this time .

Good hatch rate abt 70 to 80 percent.

I used half of the capsule on a sump with plants, algae, and soil but it isn't hatch well until sufficient lighting is added. The hatching process needs close monitoring, because the first creature hatched is a hydra, which would have eaten all the larvae if left alone. After a couple days, the moina egg started hatching, but I will continue to monitor to see if anything besides moina are hatching. So far I am happy with the purchase, but would have expected better pest control for the price I paid.

I saw a few reviews saying these eggs didn’t hatch, but I can confirm: they absolutely do hatch if you follow the right setup. I had Moina swimming around in less than 24 hours! Please read this before you try—it will save you frustration and wasted eggs: 1. Use clean, dechlorinated tap water. Avoid pure RO or distilled water—they lack essential minerals. Tap water is perfect unless your water is from a well or has very high pH. If your water is too alkaline (above ~8.5), you may have trouble hatching. 2. Water depth: Keep water at about 3–4 inches deep. Shallow water improves light penetration and oxygen exchange. 3. Light is critical: Place the container near a window with good indirect sunlight, or use a daylight-spectrum bulb (white light) about 3–4 inches above the container. Aim for 12–16 hours of light daily. I used an old aquarium white LED light. Yellow light is not as good. 4. Temperature: Around 75–85°F works best. Room temperature worked well for me. 5. Let the eggs float: Floating is normal and helpful! Don’t try to sink them. The eggs hatch best near the surface with light and warmth. 6. No aeration needed: I didn’t use any air pump or aeration, and they still hatched fine. Aeration might help, but it’s optional. 7. Don’t overdo the eggs! I used an entire capsule because of some other reviews, and it was way too much. I wish I had not done that. Half of one capsule is plenty to start a good culture. 8. Be patient: Hatch time is usually 24–72 hours, but I saw mine start moving in under 24! 9. Feed once they hatch: Use chlorella powder or pure spirulina powder, dissolved in water. Start with a very small amount—just enough to lightly cloud the water. Don’t overfeed! I’m really happy with the results. If you follow these steps, you should get a great hatch too. Don’t let the negative reviews discourage you!

Meinen ersten Versuch habe ich leider in die Blumen gegossen 😂 weil ich dachte da schlüpft nix. Aber man muss genau hinsehen, oben schwimmen die leeren Hüllen aus denen sie kommen und darunter sehr klein die Wasserflöhe. Zum Füttern hab ich Hefe oder Haferflocken verwendet. Viel Spaß beim nachmachen.
