How often can I feed my tanks brine shrimp?
I bought them some yesterday and split them equally and my fish went haywire over them!
I would love for the kids to see this phenomena take place...can I do it again soon?

Baby brine are great for fry - you can feed them daily in the early weeks - good to offer variety, though, as time goes on. A good quality flake food that is crushed up or quality micro pellets are also good for fry. As fish get older, I will feed brine - live, frozen, freezedried, flake form - several time a week.

Are you talking frozen or live? I feed my fish frozen BS and frozen Blood Worms on alternate nights with no problems.

They eat flakes on a daily basis, with a snack of dried blood worms each night.
I was just wondering about the live brine shrimp, whether it can ever be actually "too much".

Brine shrimp is usually just water and is not very nutritious. Baby brine are different, since they are connected to a yolk sac, but only stay in that stage for a few hours. Just feed away, but its not as healthy.....
