Baby Brine Shrimp

[shortymet55]

I have a few questions on Baby Brine Shrimp

1.) Should I get the San Fransisco Bay eggs or Great Salt Lake. I realize SFB has smaller babies, but not sure if necessary. Ill be feeding them to Cherry Barb Fry and Swordtail fry. Also, I would like to see if I cant raise any to feed to adult fish.

2.) How much should I get and from where?

Thanks

You can aquire brineshrimp eggs from almost anywhere these days (1lb tins)
Even the russians have got in on the act (cheaper)
But the way we do it over here is to import a carton of 12 tins from

and share amongst ourselves to cut the cost

The link did not go to a specific tin. Which ones do you usually get? San Francisco Bay of Great Salt Lake. Also what grade is good?

ok, so the larger cheaper ones are fine? I know they would be for livebearers, but smaller fry are they good too?
