live brine shrimp

[fish_keeper2]

one of my lfs sells live brine shrimp and i was thinkin of picking up some if its not too much and i can get a small amount of it. i was wondering what is the best way to house them and seperate them when its time to feed my fish and whats the best tool to use to feed them to my fish

I usually poor them into a very fine fish net, rinse them, and give clumps to the different tanks

be careful mine caused a massive ammonia spike. if you do use them make sure you feed same day

I prefer to buy the Artemia shellless eggs and hatch them as required. That way I dont have to look after them and worry about them dying off. Also I have read that once grown, brine shrimp lose their nutrition value. They have most nutrition when they are naupoli (not sure of spelling)
