Live brine raise nutrients?

[rmorris_14]

Just started hatching live baby brine and my fish in the DT love them. However, i know a lot of them don’t get eaten (even after leaving everything off for awhile). I’m assuming they get sucked into the filtration. Do I run the risk of increasing nutrients if I give too many? Or does the rule not really apply because it’s live food. I realize this may be an obvious answer, but humor me and let me know your thoughts

I would think no more then frozen food left uneaten.

I would think no more then frozen food left uneaten.

But maybe less because they are so tiny? My nitrates are always wanting to climb, so that is my main concern. I guess I’ll just have to watch it.

IME it has not put a noticeable dent in my nutrients. I was feeding live brine regularly when I had a mandarin in my 20 gallon tank and had no ill effects. Maybe though, my clowns just ate all of them.
