Re: Brine Shrimps

["Michiko Kita"<michikokita at earthlink_net>]

I was thinking about feeding brine shrimps to most of the fishes if I hatch
the eggs anyway. I have seen something that is not soda bottles before at a
well-known aquarist's house, but it is hard to explain (since English is not
first language.. excuse excuse). I kinda wanted to raise brine shrimps for
adults too. I just live with a neat freak roommate from this month, so I
wanted to make it as neat as possible. (a little impossible for aquarium
hobbyist :) I just wanted to see if there is anyone who has other than soda
bottles. 

Thanks for the advice, 

Michiko
