Partially decapsulated brine shrimp cysts?

[LordJoshaeus]

Hi everyone! I experimented with decapsulating brine shrimp cysts with bleach today (my first attempt...2 tsp of eggs rehydrated in 1/2 cup fresh water with an air line for an hour, then added 1/2 cup bleach and kept the airline going for 9 minutes) but accidentally stopped the decapsulating process too early, while the eggs were still white (vs the orange color they are supposed to be). I believe that means that the shells on the eggs are thinned but still present...I am still going to hatch them to feed my fish, but would these partially decapsulated cysts have any advantages over 'unaltered' cysts? Obviously fully decapsulated cysts would unambiguously be better so long as the embryos were not killed by the bleach...I was just curious. Thank you

(Side note...for now the eggs are being stored in the fridge, in a container with an equal volume of canning salt to dehydrate them)

I'm unsure...here's a bump...
