as long as your fish are smaller than the brime shrimp it should be ok

brine shrimp are great food to feed those fish. just make sure that you feed them primarily staple food and brine shrimp occasionally.

They are just brine shrimp, so they would be fine to feed to your fish. They are a pretty good source of protein for your fish. This should not be the only food source though and should be used as a supplement to a well balanced diet.

You can give them and its perfectly ok they should be given as treats and not as a staple diet, i got a betta fish who loves live brine shrimp!!!

as long as they are smaller and are easily able to eat them they will have no problem

Sea Monkeys are a fine supplement. But why not have a container out in the garden to breed daphnia. Then you will have a constant supply of live food.
I have been harvesting a few even in winter in England. I bought a large tub designed for planting with bedding plants such as Pelargoniums, put it in a sunny spot out of the way, added a bit of plant food, filled it with water, covered it with mesh to keep wildlife etc. out and a few weeks later seeded it with daphnia from the fish store.
It has been going for 6 years with only a top up with water in summer. Don’t harvest from a pond as you may introduce hydra or other nasties.
Daphnia are a useful addition to your quality staple flake food.

Not as a staple food, but it is okay to feed them this occasionally, expecially when their colors start to fade a bit.

Sea monkeys(brine shrimp) are fine as a treat ,but they can be a bit of a hassle to breed though. If its getting warm where you live you can try mosquito larva, put a 5 gallon bucket with water outside add a few leaves and mosquitoes will breed in the water. Dump the old water when ever the young start get old though, you don’t want them to become adults.
