Can you culture shrimp as feeders?

I have never heard of "white" shrimp before but because you are useing them as feeders I'm going to go ahead and assume that they are ghost shrimp. And they can be grown It is easyest with two 10 gallon tanks and a breeder trap (hevily planted Is prefered but a bit of java moss in each will grow in time). You put your adult shrimp in tank "A" and then when you see a predgnant female (with eggs in her swimmerets) that is about to lay her eggs (I dont know how long it takes but you should be able to figure this out) then toss her in tank "B" and when she releases her babys put her back in tank "A" when you have babies growing out in tank "B" you can put the pregnant mother in the breeder trap so she cant eat the juveniles that are already in there. When the juveniles get large enought to pose a threat to the new borns you can take them out of tank "B" and toss them into tank "A" then feed from tank "A" of corse.

And the best brand of fish food is live food and some vitamin rich food for the feeders.

I'm trying to raise brine shrimp (artemia) my fishies love the hatchlings (my swordtail plays whale, just inhaling water and whatever shrimp happen to be nearby) I'll let you know how they like the grown ones.
