Feeding of live brine shrimp

[Toshika]

Fresh brine shrimp? You meant freshly hatched brine shrimp?

Don't you rinse the brine shrimp with freshwater before feeding them to your fish? Rinsing them should clear the tiny particles, whatever that is.

The water in the bag of brine shrimp is saltwater, using them together when feeding your fish may be detrimental to their health, not to mention potentially introducing bacteria and pathogens into the tank. They aren't called brine shrimp for nothing, brine = saltwater.

i scoop up the brine shrimp and rinse it with tap water...before prior to that, i saw quite alot of white tiny moving particles....was wondering what is it...

Those white moving things should be the baby brine shrimps.
