This is the 3rd day since they have hatched and they are doing great!The brine shrimp that I hatched are incredible! They make a huge difference for the shrimp. I was starting out by feeding them frozen mysid shrimp, but the live brine shrimp is like 10 times better. I never saw the baby peppermint shrimp eat it, but when I checked up on them three hours later, about 4/5 of them had pink bellies of brine shrimp!!! Its amazing to see 40 baby peppermint shrimp all huddled up and energetic from the brine, they are literally swimming around twice as much as the ones that haven't had any live brine. It just goes to show, that live food is better.

Anyway, the baby peppermints changed for the third time. There already big eyes have grown small black pupils and it is much easier to see their outline, it has gained more color. They are now about 3-4 mm long, but still not big enough to take pictures of.

(I will be updating this every 1-2 days on the status of the baby peppermint shrimp)
