Okay so I have been feeding my fish brine shrimp for a while and I switched to feeding them live brine shrimp, my problem is that I always end up hatching way more than my fish will eat. So now I have all of these questions about these small little creatures.
How long can baby brine shrimp live without eating?
Can I get away with keeping them in the hatchery for a few days?
What do brine shrimp eat?
What is the best way to store them?
Does anyone have a tank dedicated to raising brine shrimp to keep a constant food source for their fish and if so are there any tips for this? I imagine that the baby's would get sucked up in just about any filter. I have a 10g tank that I'm not using so I was thinking I might dedicate it to that but I'm not sure of how a long term brine shrimp farm would work since their life spans are so short
