Hatching

Pour the egg/sand mixture into a half gallon of distilled water, stir well, and put it in direct sunlight (recommended) or under an 100W incandescent bulb. The eggs will begin to hatch within 24 hours, and it may take up to 72 hours for all eggs to hatch. Once the first eggs hatch, maintain the water temperature to 72ºF ~ 80ºF. When they are eggs, the temperature doesn't matter much, but once they hatch, it does a lot. They will not grow if the temperature is below this range, and will die if it's above the range.

Raising

After the first eggs hatch, put the aquarium 1 ft. under an 100W incandescent or fluorescent bulb. Keep the light on during day and light off on night. Maintain the water temperature to 72ºF ~ 80ºF. Feed them bakery yeasts. Mix well very very very little yeasts (10 pieces) with 2 tablespoons of water, and pour it into the aquarium. Feed them once a day until they are 5 days old, and then twice a day or more. Fairy shrimps can grow up to 3/4 in and Clam shrimps 3/8 in. Their color and size change depending on environment and food.

This is the easiest way to raise them, but even this will be a challenge to beginners. We can not guarantee that you will succeed with this method, and many experiences and practices, and even failures, will be needed on your side.
