Best way to feed baby brine?

You can see my stock list below. .

I just turned off all my pumps and added my baby brine. It was alot. There are probably a few hundred of them I can see them swimming around. I see my clowns, gramma, and neon goby actually eating them. But I was hoping my zoos and shrooms might eat them. (helping them to grow faster). .

Would I see them actually close over the brine? Did I feed too many and if I feed baby brine one day should I probably skip any kind of frozen for the day?

Brine Shrimp are about Zero in nutritional value to your fish after they have used there yoke sack which is very quickly, I would suggest either rotifers or green water for good sources of live food feeding for both fish and filter feeders.

It's very easy to "gut load" BBS to increase nutritional value. After they hatch, strain them out and put them into clean water.

Add Selcon (Selco) or micro algae and after a few hours then refrigerate.
