Something Fishy
Aquarium Advice Apprentice
I got brine shrimp kit to see if I could hatch them and feed them to my betta. They hatched alright, and I poured them in his tank and he set about gobbling them up. The only thing is there were about a million of them. I don't see how he will eat them all.
How long do brine shrimp live in fresh water? I'm guessing not all that long. What I'd like to do is keep them in the salt hatchery and let them grow a little more, and then use the fresh water catcher container to collect less of them. That way my betta will be eating fewer but larger shrimp instead of having a million teeny ones swimming around his tank. Does this make sense? Only, I don't know how to go about keeping a population of brine shrimp alive for an extended period of time. What do I feed them? Where should I keep them? Anyone who has ever tried this, please let me know.
