Baby Brine Shrimp

[DeepSeaFishin]

Sounds like a dumb question but,

how long can baby brine shrimp survive in your aquarium (after taking them from the hatchery to the tank and placing them in), and how long is it possible to keep them alive in the hatchery?

(lets say my guppy female for instance was going to have babies, So I prepare the brine shrimp for the fry and I expected them soon, but it turns out she had them later then I expected, how long can the brine shrimp survive until dying?)

In the aquarium they don't last but a couple of hours. They will last around 12 hours after hatching in the hatchery. When feeding fry, I hatch a batch every 24 hours, putting the remainder in a container with the brine solution in the frige. They will keep for 24 to 36 hours this way.

You can also freeze the extra in plain water, it's no different from what they sell at the lfs. Just get an old ice cube tray, or save the packaging from some frozen fish food, and freeze them. Feed some to the adult guppys too, my adult livebearers will eat the baby brine.
