Brine shrimp

[mdcordeiro]

ive just got some frozen brine shrimp for my fish whats the best way to serve it? any other delicasies anyone can suggest for mostly tetras

myself I usualy defrost it then drop em in near the tetras. for other food most fish seem to eat daphnia but it depends on what kind of tetra you have. what kind do you have?

thaw it in a cup of tank water, then just slowly pour it in along the length of the tank

Tetras are tetras, they'll eat brine doesn't matter what species.

I prefer it on a ritz cracker with a squirt of cheese whiz, but you can serve it any way you want.

I've also found that putting the cube in a small net and rinsing it under tap water for a few seconds cuts down on all the cloudy "shrimp bits" that are frozen in with the shrimp.

I defrost is in a cup of warm water. Then, I pour it into a strainer in my sink and rinse. That way, only the food, either brine shrimp or blood worms, go into the tank and not the nasty water and other particles. You'd be surprised at what you could possibly be pouring into your tank if you do not rinse.

i do the same thing with a fine mesh net
