Feedling Live Brine Shrimp

[magpie]

Hey there,

I feed a variety of things, and when I feed live brine shrimp every single fish goes nuts over them (excepting the farlowella catfish). When I get a portion, it can last me a week. I'm used to giving a little something different every day, but do you think it's OK to give brine shrimp daily until they're gone? Or would this be a potential issue with constipation or the like? If so, I might just get a half portion next time I go.

Also, I refrigerate them as I read they last longer that way. Do you all do that? Any other live brine shrimp tips? I know I can potentially grow them but I'm not quite there yet.

Thanks.

Feeding every day is fine, shouldn't cause any problems. Refrigerate them for them to last the longest. The other option, is setting up a 5-10 gallon tank, with a sponge filter and algae covered pieces of drift wood for them to feed on.
