Storage of Thawed Frozen Brine Shrimp?

Posted on November 9, 2010 by admin| 3 Comments

I’ve had to downsize my betta collection recently due to a move into a tiny apartment: in other words, I went from an active betta breeder (i.e 50+ fish at any given time) to a betta hobbyist (i.e about 10 fish at any given time). Now, in the past, I’ve always enjoyed feeding my fish frozen foods (thawed of course)…but given the number of fish I had left-overs were not much of a concern.

In short–
When dealing with previously frozen (thawed) brine shrimp (or any other frozen food) is there a safe way to store the leftovers for later use?

I currently have the extra in a tub of water in my fridge, and I plan on keeping them for about a week–does this sound “safe”?

Any idea what the saltwater fish (Six Line Wrasse) likes to eat?

I have tried Marine Flakes, Frozen Brine Shrimp, and Spectrum Marine Formula. He doesn’t seem to take interest. He does pick at Live Rock occasionally. He has been in tank for only couple of days so I know he is acclimating, but wanted to see if any ideas out there what food works well with the “six line wrasse”?

I have a 5 Gallon Tank. With a Whisper Power Filter, Medium. I plan to lower the current somehow. Although my Tank is cycling right now, I have a couple of questions. I Put gravel, Silk plants and a little decorations, no Chemicals to water yet, And in my last pH test, a 7.6. I will put API’s Stress Coat. WIll this harm the frog? And if it will, what other Dechlorinizer should I use? I hate a heater in there, and I unplugged it because of the temperature. I Have an Air stone in there. And will be feed my Frog Frozen Brine Shrimp. My Betta some Freeze Dried Brine Shrimp, Blood WOrms, and Frozen Brine Shrimp. And I will add some live plants. Most likely a plant called “Betta Bulbs.” Well.. That’s the product name.

Main Questions:
Will Stress Coat be ok for an African Dwarf Frog?
Is there any sorta food needed for the Frog?
What should the pH level be for both?
Will they get along happily?
Any other live plants that both would like?
How can I lower the current from my filter?
Will Stress Zyme harm any of them?
Does a frog need a varied diet?
If it needs a Varied diet, What do I feed it?
Can the frog live in an aquarium with some Aquarium Salt?
