Do not guarantee hatch rate because it depend on several factor that is beyond our control.
We recommend using water temperature of 86 - 96°F (30-36°C) to hatch the eggs
How to easy hatching Moina Macrocopa eggs
step 1 : open zip lock bag.
step 2 : pour the Moina Macrocopa eggs in pure water .( de-chlorinated water) 1 liters
step 3 :hatching them with temperature around 86 - 96°F (30-36°C)
step 4 : wait for 2-7 day. after that, they will hatch!!!
Step 5 : feeding Moina
*Moina food: you can use Chlorella sp. (green water), alga, yeast soup
Moina
are small freshwater crustaceans that are suitable for feeding small
fish and fish fry. With mature Moina measuring only 0.5 mm in length,
they are smaller than Daphnia magna and Daphnia pulex . , Moina
constitutes a staple food source of fish fry in oriental aquaculture. In
fact, the widespread use of Moina is so extensive that it has replaced
the use of Brine Shrimp in various aspects. Newly hatched Moina average
430 micrometers, which is very similar to the size of newly hatched
brine shrimp. The ease of culturing and their prolific nature makes
Moina a suitable candidate as a food source for various species of fish
fry.
Moina are resistant to extremes in temperature and easily
withstand a daily variation of 41-88°F (5-31°C); their
optimum temperature is 86 - 96°F (30-36°C) . The high
temperature tolerance of Moina is of great advantage for
both the commercial fish farmers and
hobbyists culturing live food at home.

Culturing Moina
Moina
can thrive in low oxygen environments and wider water parameters, Moina
are relatively easier to culture than Daphnia. Moina's ability to
synthesize hemoglobin allows them to thrive in conditions that many
other organisms can not survive in. Moina feed on various types of
bacteria, yeast, and phytoplankton. A reliable staple food source for
Moina is green water. Moina will start reproducing within a week of
birth and each female will produce of brood of 4-22 female every other
day. Optimum conditions for Moina lies at a pH of 7-8 and a temperature
range of 86 - 96 degrees Fahrenheit. In addition, water used in Moina
cultures should be chemically dechlorinated or properly aged.
