I depends on the size of fry. Live bearers will be okay, but smaller fry may be hard pressed to digest, and pass to eggs. Of course many fry are too small at birth to eat brine shrimp any way.

Yes. The babies thinking its food, will eat the eggs and the nauplii. However, they won't be able to digest the eggshells which will remain stuck in their gut and they will starve to death. I've seen it happen and I've known a lot of breeders who have had this happen, If you'e lucky, you'll only lose a few but I've seen whole spawns die off overnight. Be very careful.

No as long as they were all rinsed together it is no big deal.
