Re: Brine Shrimp

Thanks for everyone's advice on brine shrimp.  I tried some (to be 
prepared for other fish) and fed them to my small guppies.  They loved 
them.  I also had my question, which I didn't ask, answered.  It was, 
"Why can't we just feed brine shrimp eggs to fry?"

I used only a fraction of the recommended amount, and I had way too many 
brine to use up.  I'm thinking about adding some small food particles (a 
pinch of flour, maybe) to see if they can stay alive longer, so they can 
at least be used up.
