Brine Shrimp

[DragonBlade123]

i kept some live brine shrimp in a container to feed my fish but then i am starting to notice some small brownish things in the water near the bottom. They are about as big as their eyes. I kept them and my fridge and they started appearing. I think they might be eggs. If they are how do u separate them fromt the shrimp and how do u hatch them.

in the topic it said plain salt no iodide. an i have some salt that is call morton salt and it says "This salt does not supply iodide , a necessary nutrient." So does that mean i can use it for salt.

I believe so, but read the salt box one more time before trying it. make certain there is no iodide in it.

how do i make a hatchery for the brine shrimp. i've separated the eggs from the brine shrimp and from the water should i keep them in the fridge as well ?
