Does anyone know what the scientific name for fairy shrimp is? And what are the specs for breeding and caring for them?
 
Anostraca
They are easy to care for and will breed on there own. I raise them and breed them to feed for my killi fry. All you need is a light source ( i used a heat lamp since i had it left over) some powdered spirulina algae and some regular tank water. I hatched mine and about a week or 2 later they were already carrying eggs and baby's were hatching.
 
Eggs and good available on ebay.

I've been considering starting a colony for a long time. Hatching brine shrimp all the time isn't practical.
