In approximately December 2010, I mixed some (artificial) seawater in this beaker (1.5L) to mix with brine shrimp eggs for hatching….. After mixing, I only used about 1 Liter of the mixture in my aerator to hatch the eggs the next day and feed the fry. The beaker was then put on the top shelf (with some 500ml of salt water & BS eggs) and forgotten about…….
Yesterday, My wife called me to come observe….. there are some 100 BS (artemia) various sizes swimming around in the (yet) un-evaporated water…… Here is my attempt at photographing them…..
I know I posted this before, (with no reply) but I really want to know……
1. How to I keep them alive…. (do I feed yeast)?
2. How big do they get
3. Will they breed??...
4. The water has evaporated to about 2” deep…. Do I just top up with sea water??.... (I have some very old bottled sea water)
I’d like to establish a culture of these if at all possible, (although never heard of it), but would appreciate some help…. Most of them are currently about ¼” long, but there are bigger ones as well…..
