Brine Shrimp

Cichlidsrule · 01-24-2007, 02:33 PM

If I'm feeding baby guppies brine shrimp, should I just place the cube in the water and wait for it to melt, or will they nibble at it?
I'm using this kind: http://i1.tinypic.com/34hjqye.jpg
except that they are the baby brine shrimp.

Swish it up in water, rinse in a brine net, and put some in. Or, just swish it up and dilute it. They're packed with a lot of juices that can raise phosphates, etc. in your tank.

Thanks! Will they eventually start to swim around, or will my fish just eat them as they're ingesting the water?

put it ina mesureing cup with 1\3 of a cup of water in it. Then dump out as much juice as u can as in my experiances it can realy mess up small tanks. then us a turkey baster to squirt a few shrimp at a time into the tank.
