My brine shrimp hatched, like 99 percent of them.... omg I have so many of them....I put 3 drops in the water, and there is like, 4 billion of them. Should I worry about the fact there are so many? I wont be feeding the fish untill they are gone... omg what have I done?

LOL.. that's totally normal and nothing to worry about. Feed all that you can from this batch ( they will live several days) and use like half as many eggs next time. Eventually you will get the amount of eggs that's right for you down pat.
Another option is to freeze them. Use a brine shrimp net and siphon the shrimp from the hatching container through the net and place them in fresh water. Then pop them in the freezer in feeding size portions. An ice cube tray is great for this. A little water in each section of the tray and a feeding portion of shrimp in each section, then you have ready to feed frozen baby brine... comes in handy.

What and how many fish are you feeding them too? Are you feeding them to fry or adults? Most adult fish can eat tons of them because they are so small and fry need pretty much constant food so if there is a whole lot of shrimp it is ok, they will survive for a while in the fish tank untill they get eaten. Also if you provide aeration for the shrimp hatchery they will live longer than a couple of days.
