What to do with Live Baby Brine Shrimp

I was at JO JO's yesterday and bought some awesome purple and green acons and a frag of birdnest coral,great prices 32 for both!!!!They gave me a bag of live baby brine shrimp,but I am not to sure what to do with them.Can I feed the to my corals and fish in my reef or will this cause bad water problems?They also had koralia powerheads for the same price liveaquaria has the on sale for!!!I picked up a korallia 3,I hoping they get 4's in soon as I need 2 of those.Thanks,Chris

Just filtered it out through a fish net and feed the brine shrimp to your fish.

Your fish would love the live treat! Just be sure to turn your filtration off

I second the idea of pouring them into a net first. The yuck is in the water. Use as a treat too, not your staple food.

They give you sooo much, how're y'all keeping them alive between feedings?

If you gut load them first they will be much more nutritious.

Definitely strain them before adding to your tank.

(If you want to hatch BBS regularly then you can raise baby Banggais!)
