Those websites should give you all the info you need!
Brine shrimp are really hardy little critters, they tolerate a lot of mistakes.
As the first poster said, yes "Sea Monkeys" are just dried brine shrimp eggs, they will rehydrate and grow out to become living brine shrimp and will reproduce and grow with onlyy the level of care a typical 6-year-old would provide. By using the methods in the linked articles you will be able to vastly improve on that.

I agree get the frozen brine shrimp, It is easier faster and pretty cheap. great for breeding really fattens up you fish just don't over do it . I feed mine brine shrimp about 3 times a week in addition to the regular food
