   Yes, there is a way to keep it longer :)  I have had mine last me 3 weeks 
after purchase!  I typically keep them in a 1 to 3 gallon container, and 
airate them, using a fine bubble airstone.  Remember to keep the salinity 
between 1.022 and 1.032 for optimal results (I add a little bit os salt each 
week to be on the safe side).  Also the powdered aretmia food (Sometimes 
labled Brine shrimp food) works great for feeding them.  About what I said 
before about adding salt... I normally prefer to make fresh saltwater 
everyweek for the brine shrimp, but adding a tablespon or so to freshen up 
the mix works alright.
I wish you the best of luck with keeping your brine :)  Oh! and Btw, I keep 
mine room temp., not in the frige.  I prefer using the frige for blackworms.

          Sincerely,
            D. Zwicky
