diy brine shrimp farm- how do i?

all4funwfish · 02-23-2004, 01:38 AM

Trying to get some brine shrimp to keep in a small "tank" as a food source. hopefully breed them to have continuous supply...can i just buy marine water froma fish store, and then as the water evaporate just add distilled? use fry food to feed along with yeast and keep water room temp? all advice or links would be helpful..thanks!

Buck, great link. I wish I had that source seven years ago when I tried my hand at breeding angels.

Anyone have a link on how to raise BBS to adult stage?

I didn't see that at that site.

most people dont raise them to adult because if the ridiculous amount of work that it entails... Its easier in the long run to simply buy frozen

Not to mention that they become less nutritious with age.

My betta and dwarf puffer don't notice the BBS. If I buy adult live BS at the store they eat those.
