Your best bet is to just purchase a large supply of brine shrimp eggs. Unless you gut load them, it's best to just feed the newly hatched brine shrimp to the fish.

I have grown out brine shrimp before and the results were OK, but the tank really started to smell bad after about a week or two. IE if you plan are trying to breed them, it will take a lot of work to maintain the water in good condition. Again, it's better and easier to just purchase a large amount of eggs. Look on www.aquabid.com for sellors of large quanities of eggs.
