Brine Shrimp Thought

When do you fortify the baby brine shrimp. I have been told conflicting stories of when you need to. Whithin 4 hours of when they hatch whithin 12 hours of when they hatch when they are not pink anymore. So I had a thought (dangerous I know). What if when I first put the egg in to hatch fortify the water. Then I don't have to guess when I need to and when they get hungry the food is there. Let me know if you think this is a good idea or not. Thanks, Don	breeding stock Posts: 69 Group: Members Member #44 Joined: September 9, 2008

thats what i do. and i just started this method never empty the hatchery just add more water and more eggs so that way there are a age difference and size different when you feed. but this can only go for a few days then some may get to large.	breeding stock Posts: 311 Group: Members Member #22 Joined: August 5, 2008

Shane, that also can't go for too long because the ammonia level will spike and kill all of them. When you take them out, make sure you rinse them off really well before feeding them to the seahorses.	stormy, stormy nights Posts: 2,362 Group: Admin Member #4 Joined: June 29, 2008
