Food to feed baby brine shrimps

[junyong84]

what kind of food can i used to feed baby brine shrimps after hatching them?

[gothia]

i once heard ppl use baking soda or something...(not very sure cos i never try)

look out for more response...

[chinmo]

can raise them with algae water.... can use DT's phytoplankton or use Aquaz algae paste, keep the water a slight greenish tinge only, gotta change water almost everyday!

Sis Gothia, think the food u trying to mention is "instant yeast"

Yeast does not provide sufficient nutrition at all unless you grow them on a medium with will enable them to uptake HUFAs like EPA and DHA.

Microalgae would be a better choice for artermia. Newly hatched nauplii only begin feeding 12 hours after hatching from the cyst. Feeding before this would only affect your water quality.

It does'nt matter..artemia take both dead and live feeds.

I have tried using egg yolk, after 4 days the shrimp still swimming actively. The con partt is that u got to change water after 6 hours after feeding them with the yolk. Just a bit of yolk, smash them up with a bit of water and you are done pour them in, u can see those BBS swimming around the yolk. MAke sure you smash them up or else those BBS cant eat those big chunck

Sejiro,

Raw egg yolk or cooked? Raw egg yolk broken already mashed so cannot understand the chunks part, unless you mean hard boiled egg yolk... more powder form... can help explain further?
