has anyone attempted to breed brine and were successful,
and if i get a batch of live brine will they breed?
or do i have to keep byeing eggs?
 
They will breed easily. But it is impractical to produce large quantities.

Buckets outside kept at about 78 degrees with greenwater and occasional cleanings should work.
 
I spent alot of time and money on raising brine shrimp last summer... here is what i learned. I fist started with a 10 gallon tank, water 1.014, temp 80, 24 hour light, with a huge airstone. Added two teaspoons of brine shrimp eggs, and started feeding wheat flour on day four. All went ok, and at two weeks i had adults, and shortly after i had adults carrying eggs, something that my local fish store said was impossible. So i then purchased 18 gallon rubbermaid containers to try more, and had about 10 total containers bubbling. Around day 8 everything would crash. I then switched to prepared t-iso, and things still crashed around the same day, which was expensive tests. I tried all different salinities, temps, lights, but to no avail. I think the trick is smaller containers, and lighter feedings. All in all, i switched to black worms as a way to feed my clown broodstock live stuff. Good luck. bunker
