    What are the ways to keep those adult brine shrimp alive? Usually when u bought those packet of brine shrimp feeder from lfs they come in a small packet of water, what kind of water condition will keep them growing and breeding? I need to keep them alive to feed my 2 badis who are very picky and will only feed on live food...

    Some suggestion will be gladly appreciated!

    I think they can live for 2-3 days with aeration and some table salt (a pinch) in XS size bucket. Check with celticfish, the moderator. He know how.

    excuse me for asking, but brine shrimp is those shrimp u buy a bundle for a dollar to feed larger fish right?

    I dont think those shrimp need that much aeration though...
    just a few bubble would definitely keep them alive

    Brine shrimp don't need much aeration, but it helps, you would definitely have the water oxygenated to a certain extend. If you have a larger tank/pail, that should be sufficient, excessive bubbling isn't good for them. They mostly feed on algae but yeast do keep them alive for a longer duration. Do change a certain amount of salt water to keep them in good shape.

    use marine salt mix.
    i use water from my marine tank wc and with airstone aeration. can last about one week plus. then do some water change again.
    feed my clownfish with it.

    So they need marine salt ah... Luckily I didn't use those normal salt we eat.. I tried before using normal salt, they die the next day. Now that I don't have marine salt and there is no lfs around my area, I guess I just leave them as it is don't touch their water.
