Brine Shrimp Feeding

[devildog999]

New to the whole hatching brine shrimp game but I know my Gorgs will appreciate it (and so will my seahorses). Once my shrimp have hatched and I have separated them from the eggs, do I just add them all to the DT and let nature take its course? Or do I add only some in daily?

You're probably better off adding them in stages, so that you're not significantly impacting the overall bioload or O2 demands of your tank.

That makes sense.

Feed the brine shrimp selcon and spirulina to gut load them otherwise the shrimp have very little nutritional value

The newly hatched shrimp will have the egg sac still. If you wait more than 24 hrs then you'll need to gut load them.
