I found this on ebay:

I bet they're great for fry, and it's pretty cheap. It would be nice to use them as food for adult fish as well. Do you think they would be easy to breed? The poster said to feed them chlorella sp. if you want them to live past 3 days. I assume that's green water microalgaes. Correct me if I'm wrong. How exactly does one go about cultivating chlorella sp. If it is algae, god knows it can't be hard.

Here's a pic:

I think they look really tasty!
 
chlorella is probably the culprit we see when there is an outbreak of green water.
phosphates and nitrates , sunlight and just enough CO2:evil_lol:
 
Yes but like any other newly hatched feeder the best time to serve them as din din is shortly after they are born. Brine shrimp are nutritious not because the shrimp itself is a baron of protein but because of the egg sac that is still with them that has not yet been consumed.
 
I have heard that before about brine shrimp, but is it necessarily true for these as well? I wouldn't think they would be completely void of protein in any case. While I imagine they won't be the best source of food for the fish, I wouldn't feed them exclusively. I was thinking more along the lines of a supplemental diet. Too bad they don't come with a nutritional facts chart.
