 brine shrimp has any of you tried to colonize brine shrimp? i was thinking about hatching a few and trying to get them est. in my refugium. haven't seen any amphipods yet but copepods are about to block my view as they have exploded in my DT. apparently none of the fish i have like them very much. so i was thinking this would make a good supliment and export. never heard if they are hard to keep or anything really other than hatch and feed.

| Re: brine shrimp I dont think they are hard to keep... they make little kits for kids. i was thinking after i read this post if you could order them online from sea-monkeys.com because they have the food, vitamins and growth supplements they would need... well that your fish would need to make them even tastier! |

| Re: brine shrimp Brine shimp -except when newly hatched, are poor nutritionally. If you want to culture something in your refugium and tank, go with copepods ('pods). You can buy them from liveaquaria.com to use to culture your tank. |
