How Do You Know If Your Fry Are Eating The Brine Shrimps?

[Chipie]

Hi,
I've got a few dwarf gourami fry (about 3 1/2 weeks old)in my 37 gallon tank and i have a shrimp hatchery working and there seem to be brine shrimps coming out of it. I also fee egg yolk in case they don't eat the brine shrimp. They are growing well.
How do i know that they eat the shrimps. I noticed tonight that they seem to have redish bellies. Are they sick or just full of shrimps. What i think are shrimps that come out of the shrimpery sems to be white. Hum....
Anybody know more about this ? I'm a newbie so please be patient.
Thanks

Reddish stomachs means they are eating the shrimp. What sort of hatchery do you have set up, and how do you harvest the bbs?

Oh good! Thanks for the answer. This is the hatchery that you put inside your tank. It's a fresh water tank but you add salt and the shrimps eggs in it and plud an air pump so the bubbles aerate and also help the shrimp come out into the tank. You just have to add shrimp everyday. Works great. Just have to clean it once in a while to take the shells out.Works very well.
I'm glade they are eating the shrimps. That must be better for them than the egg yolk. Thanks again.
