[Killietalk] Feeding Brine Shrimp

[George Slusarczuk <yurko at warwick_net>]

Hello,

Which island are you on?

Aquatic Eco-Systems (877-347-4788, <aquaticeco.com>) sells "Dry Brine 
Shrimp Feed" 1 lb for $29.95, item BS16.

Years ago, I used an equivalent German product with moderate success. 
To achieve a dense brine shrimp culture you need a biological filter 
and LOTS of sea water. Instead of sea water one can use regular salt 
with MgSO4 and other additives, depending on the source of your BS 
cysts.

Best,

George
