I have been hatching BBS every day for many years with no problem. I made the hatchery which is very simple. I use a plastic container that is about 8" long by 4" wide and 4" high. One side is black and the other side is clear. There is a partition seperating the two sides with a 3/8" hole in it. The hole has a door so it can be closed. The shrimp eggs are put in the black side (which has a black cover) The next day when they hatch I open the door between the compartments and cover the black side. I put a light over the clear side and in an hour, all the shrimp swim through the hole to the light side and all the shells stay on the black side. I close the door and siphon out the shrimp.
Simple.
