brine shrimp?

[krap101]

is it possible to make a working culture of brine shrimp? like they lay eggs and get mor babies and u feed the older ones, the younger ones get old, lay eggs, are fed, on and on?

 

[Blucat]

yes.
when i was little i had sea monkeys (brine shrimp) as pets. they mated had babies died, and then their babies grew up etc

ic... so i dont have to change the water i was thinking about putting ammo-carb in.. and then like keep adding salt and stuff as you go along.

did you do anything special for them?

To create a working culture of Artemia large enough to use as feeders will take more room than you likely have....probably about a 400G round (so they don't get caught in the corners) aquaculture tub. As a simple curiosity, a large round fishbowl will work.

How do i go about growing brine shrimp ?

hmm... theres a 400 gallon fish bowl? because 400 grams is too small.. and i dont think you measure water in grams...
