The concentration of salt in water affects the hatching of brine shrimp eggs. A scientist want to determine the best conditions in which to hatch the shrimp eggs. In a laboratory, brine shrimp will grow at room temperature in small glass containers of salt water.
-Describe the steps of a controlled experiment that would determine the best saltwater concentration in which to hatch brine shrimp eggs.

In your response, be sure to indicate
-the materials that would be used
-the type of data that will be collected
-how the data will be used to answer questions about the salt requirements of brine shrimp

PLEASE HELP.
Just…help me start off?
I’m not sure how to start this and where to go with it…

Is this a good diet for my betta fish?

Posted on March 19, 2010 by admin| 5 Comments

I feed my betta twice a day. In the morning I feed him two Hikari Betta Bio-Gold pellets – here is a picture of it: http://www.aquatichouse.com/Fish%20Food_files/betta%20bio-gold.asp

Then in the afternoons I feed him a small chunk of frozen food. For the frozen foods I thaw the small chunk in a small amount of water for a couple of minutes.

Here is the schedule of his afternoon feedings:

Sunday – frozen brine shrimp

Monday – frozen blood worms

Tuesday – fresh batch of live black worms I get from a local pet store.

Wednesday – frozen blood worms

Thurday – the same live black worms.

Friday – frozen blood worms

Saturday – frozen krill

Keep in mind, I feed him the pellets every morning. For the black worms, the pet store gets a new shipment every Tuesday so I feed him a fresh batch on Tuesday, and then on Thursday where I throw out the remaining black worms.

He eats everything and still looks healthy and active..just want to make sure his diet is ok

Do you feed your betta brine shrimp that you’ve hatched yourself?

Posted on December 19, 2009 by admin| 6 Comments

The baby brine shrimp are so tiny, I don’t think my betta even sees them! I’ve been feeding them Hikari Bio-Gold for bettas, and he has been eating it happily, but I thought I’d provide a variety of different foods in his diet, so I hatched my own brine shrimp (San Francisco Bay brand) and fed them to him … They are like little specks (and yes, they’ve hatched. They are SWIMMING). The betta does not even seem aware that they are food!
