The video shows the growth of brine shrimp, also known as "aquatic dragons," 15 days after hatching. The shrimp have grown to various sizes, with some reaching up to 1 centimeter in length. The host, Mike, observes the shrimp under a microscope, noting their compound eyes, digestive tubes, and other features. He also examines the remains of dead shrimp, noting the decomposition process. Additionally, Mike looks at eggs and baby shrimp, speculating that some eggs may have just been laid. He also feeds the shrimp and observes their behavior, noting that they seem to eat at their own pace and may catch food as it falls. The video concludes with Mike encouraging viewers to subscribe and activate notifications for future videos on the growth and evolution of the brine shrimp.
