what happened to my brine shrimp?

I just disconnected my airpump so the egg shells could float. after 1 hour later i came back and the brine shrimp were laying on the ground not moving? But they were moving like 10 minutes after i disconnected the air pump. Does anybody knows what happened. I covered the top of the vase by the way when i was hatching them to prevent any water from flying out of the vase.

How do i seperate brine shrimp from salt so that i can feed them?

Brine shrimp live in saltwater and i don’t wanna get the salt into my fish tank… so how do i make sure that salt won’t get into the tank. Also i need to know how to seperate eggshell from the brine because the egg shells aren’t good for the fish either.
Thanks in advance
will the brine shrimp die from no water when i strain them and rinse them?

My brine shrimp hatched…now what?

I’ve got them in the 1 liter container, and they’ve all hatched. So now there still in the one liter conatiner with the egg shells floating at the top.

Do I just leave them in there, there not big enough to feed yet.

And also, are brine shrimp the same thing as sea monkeys?
