i am wanting to grow some baby brine shrimp and was reading up what to feed them it sounded so hard but one thing it said was to put the brine shrimp in a window for light would this work?

Who else has grown brine shrimp up? How have you done this? What have you feed them?

Why do you want to grow them? They are nutritious when newly hatched but not so much so after a few days.

just wanted to make some extrs food (and little pets)

I found I had the most success growing them by not feeding them.

I had my coke bottle hatching BBS in a bucket of water with a heater in it to keep the bottle at the right temp. I strained the bbs out through a net and apparently some slipped through the net into the bucket. They seemed to grow quite happily in the bucket.

how long did they last for?

how long did they last for?

Until about 10 seconds after I poured them into my cichlid tank. :lol:

I don't know, a few weeks.

I had them growing and breeding in a container on the lounge floor. They were in there for about 12 months. I never fed them anything. The water was in full sun and grew green algae so I assume they ate that.

I saw them growing them at the marine lab in Island Bay once. They had these massive tubes full of green water to feed them, so I guess they like infusoria to eat.

I grow them to a large size by feeding them brewers yeast .. more of a mouth full for larger fry

You can feed them infusoria, yeast and spirulinar powder. They grow quite fast and give birth to live bbs too.

I feed mine on no1 liquifry to start with and some of my own receipt made from egg yolk and things.

Also give them spirulina powder on occasions. Make sure you mix these products well with water before feeding.

I believe brewers yeast is also good.
