brineshrimp live in saltwater they prefer cyclopese u can get a frozen stick of it at the lfs for about $10 and depending on how many you have i keep anywhere between 100 and 500 brineshrimp everyday and on a everyother day feeding cycle this $10 stick of cyclopese not only give them nutrition to pass on to whatever you are feeding them to but also will last me about 6-8 months if not up to a year i have not mastered breeding brineshrimp because my air pump is psychotically high for the 5g i keep them in supposedly brineshrimp will breed and breed and breed no matter what the conditions are BUT to get them to hatch you should have some sort of air bubbles in the tank creating a SMALL current on the tank floor because brineshrimp will actually drop the eggs onto the floor of the tank personally a whole saltwater setup is too expensive for a stupid meal for my fish so i just set up a plain bare tank brine shrimp will stay alive in this setup without any air bubbles (naturally you can only keep so many) but they dont breed nearly as much brine shrimp are also SEA MONKEYS if that helps you out any some other foods you can give them is live plankton and some other products that your lfs will most likely care and supposedly the more adverse the brine shrimp diet is the more nutrition you will pass on to your fish its like feeding crickets to reptiles you gotta put the vitamins in the crickets to get them in the reptile
