brine shrimp

[joe2003]

I want to get some brine shrimp to feed my fish, they come with 1,000,000 eggs, I have an old 5 litre tank that I want to grow them in, how many should I add to this size tank? Also, I heard that I can use sea salt or rock salt to make the water suitable, if so, how much should I add for 5 litres?

It's hard and fairly pointless to raise brineshrimp to adulthood. When they become adults they tend to have almost no nutrional value, like chips. Therefore most people just hatch them and feed them right away to fry. If you buy aquarium salt on the side they give the amount needed to raise them.

So how long should I wait before removing the newly hatched shrimp, and how do they re grow once they have been removed, is it from the old eggs or something ???
