someone mentioned earlier and i've heard this before, that brine isn't nutritious enough to be fed very often.
I hear a lot about how this or that live or frozen food is not very nutritious, but this isn't true at all. Prepared foods are still recommended as a staple diet because they've been created with everything the fish needs to live. Live and frozen foods like brine shrimp can be very healthy supplements, but the scope of their nutritional value is more limited, the reason they wouldn't work as a staple. But to say it is 'unhealthy' is misleading.

not that it's "unhealthy" just that brine shrimp don't have much substance, ie nutrition. i prefer mysis for my sw fish to brine. but i've had the cichlids on spirulina enhanced flakes plus some daphnia i got them and they eat it up! as they mature i will try weaning them onto the cichlid pellets since i've been unable to find baby pellets.
