I read somewhere that the nutritional value of brine shrimp is only within their first 24 hrs of hatching, while they still have the yolk sacks. Once they lose this yolk sack and are feeding, the nutritional value to our fish is minimal. I set up a brine shrimp hatchery in the tank the day before I want to feed, add a pinch of eggs and feed as soon as I see at least half have hatched. Empty and rinse the hatchery and put it away until the next time I want brine shrimp. No mess, no hassle, no extra tanks!
