I thought that it would be a good idea to raise brine shrimp for my ADFs. It would cost less than buying them at the petstore. Does anybody know where I can buy large quantities of brine shrimp eggs? I think I will buy a hatchery at petsmart but what will I keep the shrimp in while I am waiting for them to grow big enough? And where can I buy the food?

Well , I got a whole tube of eggs at this fish store. And you can get their food at your grocery store, they eat yeast. Just keep the brine shrimp in a large jar with destilled water and mix rock salt into the water. They can only survive in salty water. they don't get really big, though. Hope this helps! ;)

Sea monkeys are a scientifically modified brine shrimp, you could try those. I know they are safe for hermit crabs but I'm not sure about ADFs.
