Salinity for rotifers and brine shrimp?

I have read that the best salinity for production of rotifers and brine shrimp is .019. When I feed my system that is .026 will they quickly die? I know the osmotic shock is very hard on many inverts including larger shrimp. Or is there nothing to worry about?

the brine shrimp won't be a problem regardless. the roti's don't fair well with any change greater then 0.007, if you're tank is at 1.026 or less you shouldn't have a problem with them either.

Nothing to worry about.
Rots are best kept at 1.010 BTW
