I do to feed to baby cardinals. I hatch out new and grow some out to feed everything else. I usually enrich with vitamins and also feed phyto. They usually get eaten (at least that I have noticed) when they are added to the tanks

I've hatched them using Rod's brine shrimp hatchery made out of a pop bottle.
To feed to the fish and corals I just suck some up in a turkey baster and squirt into the tank...everything goes crazy for them and they're usually eaten right away. As far as growing them out I think you can feed them phyto...but don't know how long they take to grow up. Plus I've heard/read that adult brine shrimp aren't very nutritious as they are mostly water whereas the babies are very nutritious. |

Adult BS are 97% water--almost no nutrition at all.

somebody on here uses this: http://www.brineshrimpdirect.com/c1/...Dish-p183.html
I will probably be getting one of those in the future... looks easy and feeding live is always fun... just watched my fish go crazy for some baby peppermints.. LOL |

I feed them to my tank right away while they still have their egg yoke. They are still very small, but have the most nutrition. I use a sieve so I don't put the hatchery water in my tank.
Some people feed or supplement with Selco, but the baby brine will not eat for at least 18 hrs since they are still eating their egg yoke. As puffer stated, they aren’t very nutritious after that. I use the dish in the link above and like it because it is so easy. I don't get as high of hatch rates, but it is just so simple. I've even switched to using tank water + eggs.

That's odd, since brine water is above 1.030.

Tim @ brine shrimp direct sd he has his best success @ 1.018, which is what I used for a while. My hatch rates are similiar using tank water. Jason (Yznhmr) gave me that tip...thinking that when you transfer them to my tank they are at the same salinity and have a better chance of living.
Heat is a bigger factor, with higher hatch rates as you get warmer. Tim suggested 75 up to even 80 degrees.
