    Hi
    You can raise brine shrimp to adult pretty easy and make them very healthy food you just need to be raising micro algae as well. Its pretty easy to do but you do have to stay on top of it. The algae u split once a week it just basically doubles. You have your brine shrimp in a 2L soda bottle upside down air hose through bottom cap bubbling slowly,add algae to it till its green and then when its clear again add more algae.The algae feeds on the shrimp waste and feeds the shrimp at the same time and you get very healthy brine to feed to your fish. You can get the algae from ebay theres nano iso and one other kind that brown which is better for clams.There all pretty common and once u buy one bottle your set.. Im a little rusty on everything as i haven't done it for few years but its not to complicated.
