Brine Shrimp

[quartex2003]

Ok so I ordered some brine shrimp eggs off ebay and put them in a salt water solution with an air pump for circulation and a light source by the side of them.

36 hours later... success they have hatched.

Now comes the question, what do I have to do next. I was just about to suck them up with a syringe with a bit of air tube attached and squirt them in my tank then I had second thoughts. Will the salt water solution affect my tanks water chemistry?

Whats the best way to get them in my main tank without affecting my tank water

Rubber band a paper coffee filter to the top of a cup. Squirt the bbs into the filter, let them drain. Rinse with a bit of fresh water, tank, tap it really doesn't matter, then feed.

If you have a light source near them the temp should reach 25-28c in which the shrimp will hatch in 18-24hr. They need to be feed to the fish within 24hrs to be worth any value. I use a turkey baster to suck from the bottom from my DIY pop bottle, then squirt them into a coffee filter of which i top with tap water, allow to drain turn off tank filter and then add to fish tank
