If they havent been dead for a long time you could, and if you intend to save some of them to feed later, put them in plastic container and freeze them

Yes they are dead, and if you are going to feed them tomorrow, then I would stick them I the freezer.

K ill do that. And tomorow before feeding them should i take them out of the freezer some time before? Or feed them straight from the freezer?

Either way would probably be fine but it's not always the best for your fish to eat ice so you might want to thaw it out a little

And i forgot to ask. Before putting them in the freezer, i throw away all the water in the cup and put them in the freezer in the cup by themselvs right?

No. You save some of the water. It's not worth the effort to try to strain them. When you're ready to feed, use a small Tupperware container of tank water to thaw them in. After they're thawed, place them in the tank.

Side note: Frozen brine shrimp are available at many places and used very often. (They're always dead.)
