brine shrimp are teensy even when adult; you ought to just use that 2g to quarantine ghost shrimp.

if they are small i would not need a filter than

ah. that makes more sense. yeah, sea monkeys or premixed brine shrimp eggs would probably be your best bet. just follow the directions on the packet.

although they would not need a "fliter" per se, they will need some sort of water agitation. i suggest looking at the 5-minute DIY sponge filter instructions pinned in the DIY forum. that or something similar would probably be a good way to keep your brine shrimp alive and kicking.

 

[samxx]

yes i will make one of them 5 min filters


does any one know the cost of Brine shrimp ( just a rough guide so i no )


thanks

& the food when in about 4 weeks & the things staved to death

Order from Brine Shrimp Direct if you in the US they have really good hatch rates and they provide a free batch of selco to feed them.

Edit : If your not in the US or canada you can probabaly find selco from a brine shrimp hatchery or maybe and a lfs
