    Those are brine shrimp. They're used for feeding fish.

    Yes, you can cultivate them but you might want to consider brine shrimp eggs instead You need a simple aeration set up with salt water at the correct salt level. Most information are available online. All the best!

    i think that even from eggs, it will have a certain % that wont survive.

    unless in a big quantity, i think just buy easier
    Moved on from plants to predatory fishes, but still finding for inspiration for a 3ft planted tank.

    Yes i agree with you haha. You can just use a simple aeration set up and do daily water change for the brine shrimp and that 1 bag from C328 can last for a week or so before the next shipment arrive.

    Re: Brine shrimp?

    I made a tank for brine shrimps:
    Its about 6 litres and i floated a feeding ring on the surface and put the eggs so taht it won't spread and look messy..I also used a technique to aeriate them safely without causing them harm ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJy2eV8IAbA ) I also feed them liquifry every day and they've been surviving for about one week now

    Re: Brine shrimp?

    Thought of giving them variety of food.
    Besides don't really have the effort or time to rear the life one, then i saw the frozen one is available so just buy to give it a try.
