Brine shrimp and copepod feeding.

[clifg]

I breed them are you talking adults or BB? Adults hold zero unless gut loaded . BB on the other hand are probably the ultimate food source

Question, why can't we just add the brine shrimp eggs to our tanks? Are the casings no good for the system?

Correct

Yeah in my opinion nothing can beat BB this goes for fish and coral . The egg sack they contain can't be beat .

Honestly I have no idea I've never went in depth with it before like that . I hatch mine In a diffrent salinty then my DT tank plus I think CUC might take some out along with they would most likely get blown into the filtration system before they hatch . But I mean I guess if you can fine a completely isolated still ( or contained) area of your tank you could experiment

When I feed baby brine shrimp Im inadvertently putting some eggs in as well, it wont hurt your system, just be taken by your filtration.
