RE: [Killietalk] Feeding Brine Shrimp

["Drummond Howard" <drummondhoward at hotmail_com>]

I don't know anyone who raises brine shrimp to adult.  Everyone I know of 
feeds newly hatched brine shrimp.  At one time I was feeding flake, daphnia, 
micro worms and newly hatched brine shrimp.  Fry received micro worms and 
newly hatched brine shrimp, adult fish received flake, daphnia and newly 
hatched brine shrimp in that order.  If I gave any fish brine shrimp first 
they wouldn't eat anything else.  All my fish, even 4 inch dwarf cichlids 
would eat flake and daphnia till they were stuffed then go crazy over brine 
shrimp.

> From my understanding the nutritional value of brine shrimp drops very 
quickly after hatching.
