feeding/growing brine shrimp

[jamiep]

I'm starting a grow tank for brine shrimp and read up on feeding and found feeding brewers yeast is good. Did a search on ebay and they'll all tablets it seems. Is this the right thing? I was thinking of feeding brewers yeast and spirulinna. Does anyone else here grow out brine shrimp?

I tried ut no success. So I just hatch enough and feed like hat.

It is my understanding that baby brine (nauplii) eat phytoplankton....

I also don't try and raise brine shrimp..........just hatch and feed to the tank. The Nauplii still have their yolk sacks and are actually very good for just about everything in your tank (coral to filter feeders to small fish), but the ironic part is that adult brine shrimp are very low in nutrients.

I have heard adult brine shrimp referred to as "popcorn" for fish
