Re: [Killietalk] Feeding Brine Shrimp

[Gary Hoover <gmh52389 at yahoo_com>]

Hi all,
The method of raising Brine Shrimp that Ed Warner
wrote about in his book is to increase salinity
(between 1.030 to 1.040) and to feed blenderized
lettuce and yeast.  I have not tried this method, but
I did raise adult shrimp a couple years ago when I had
dwarf puffers.  I used the SF bay brand shrimpery kit,
and when it seemed like I was getting no babies, I
just left it alone.  a few weeks later, I took the top
off and had about 20 or so adults (enough for my
puffers, but I'm sure that's not enough for anyone's
fishroom).
Hope this helps,
Gary
