Aquarium Advice Addict
I am about to have quite a few GBR eggs hatch if I am lucky. (I need to move them from my 55 gallon tank to a 10 that is being set up at the moment.) I have a few questions about feeding them baby brine shrimp though as I have never done this before.
I stopped at Petsmart today and I picked up some San Francisco Bay brand brine shrimp eggs. I was just curious as to how these baby brine shrimp have worked out for others that have used them. I was wondering how fast the BBS will grow and if they will be too large for the fry to eat after a day or so. Do I need to make a new batch of BBS every day? Two days? More? I am lost on this and I could use some expert advice.
How often should I introduce new BBS into the fry tank and how much at a time? Should I do water changes in the fry tank and should I rinse the BBS before feeding them to the fry? I just filled the tank with distilled water so I should have very little in the way of ammonia, nitrites, nitrates, and TDS. Don't worry I have a seeded sponge filter in the tank so I am all set there. I was just wondering if the salt from the BBS water would eventually contaminate the fry tank. I think I remember hearing someone say that it is okay to dump the BBS w/water into the fry tank, just minimize the amount of water put in at each feeding. Any and all help is appreciated. Thank you in advance.
