 Subject: Keeping LFS brine shrimp
 
 i bought these $1.47 brine shrimp in a small container
 at the lfs to change the diet of my killifishes.
 (since I can not seem to hatch my own)
 why do you need a light on top of the bbs hatchery?
 I always feed my fishes bloodworms and I thought a
 change would be good for them.
 anyway, is there any way to keep these shrimp i bought
 to live a little longer than the lfs told me?
 they said I have to feed it to the fishes before a
 span of a week before they all die and go bad.
 Can I feed the shrimp anything? Can I change their
 water? How?

Brine shrimp can live to maturity easily.  Provide a lot of aeration and feed 
them yeast on the first day, and every day add some flour to the yeast until 
in two week you are feeding a 50:50 mixture of yeast:flour.  The amount to 
use is about the size of a pea per gallon of water.  I have raised quite 
large quantities in just a large mouth pickle jar.  The complete instructions 
are contained in an old AKA Killie Notes.  I will request permission to copy
