How to keep BBS alive?

[andrewtyr]

How long can Baby Brine shrimp live and grow up to the larger brine shrimp? What is needed to keep them alive?

I bought too much and is thinking of how to prolong their lives and feed them to the fishes when they are older.

Hello andrew,

Hi, its pretty simple really; storage should be near salinity of marine fishes, using marine salt with airstone for aeration. Feed them daily with crush algae-wafer. It takes about 15days to attain sizes sold in lfs. Hope this information is useful

This is correct. You can also make your own green water culture by taking a small slice of lettuce and letting it sit in a bowl of water on a windowsill somewhere so it gets some light. Soon enough the water will turn a hazy white and then green. This water can be fed to the BS.
