Brine Shrimp |
The brine shrimp in your local pet shop probably came from the Great Salt Lake area. They are one of the best food sources available for fish of any type. And of all the live food available, these are the safest, because they do not carry diseases and are extremely safe and easy to care for. And goldfish love them!
If you want, they can also be raised from a culture. Here are the steps to follow if you wish to raise brine shrimp from a culture:
1. In a plastic or glass container, add twelve ounces of salt per gallon of water.
2. At the bottom of the container, place an operating aerator and place a stone on top of it so that it doesn't move.
3. Add two ounces of Epsom salts and one ounce of sodium bicarbonate to the container (per gallon of water).
4. Empty the container of brine eggs into the mixture. They are small and fine and should be handled with care.
5. Given a temperature of around 75F, you should have brine shrimp in two days. You can continue to feed the shrimp brewer's yeast to keep them going until the culture is finished.
