[flr410]

I'm interested in making breeding or growing my own brine shrimp I was wondering if anyone had any ideas of how I can do this?

do Neons or Emporer tetras or Black Phantoms eat Brine shrimp

 

[luvfishies]

anything that can fit brine shrimp in it's mouth will eat them. As newly hatched brine shrimp is what is used for a lot of newborn fry, just about any fish will eat them.

Anyone remember Sea Monkies?????  Are these not brine shrimp?  Just curious??

Hmm... that would explain why all the sea monkeys in the bowl with my betta dissapeared....

well i dunno if sea monkeys are saltwater but could be but in freshwater they could be daphnia i had a couple of them in my 10gal when i was raising betta fry they just appeared out of nowhere one day but they were gone after the frys got bigger

Yep, sea monkeys are brine shrimp.
