should I use my old 1.5 gal tank? I have about 1–20 already. I have ones pregnat, which means 40 more! Plus, I gave them Cupid’s Arrow (mating powder). That means even more! Plus i’m thinking about buying more eggs! So, should I stick with the sea-monkey tank, or should I just use my old 1.5 gal tank?
I can take the filter out. PLZ ANSWER MY OTHER SEA-MONKEY QUESTION

I just ordered some eggs from ebay (who knows how many will hatch )and Im just curious what do I need for them to eat/ I have a small 1gal plastic tank i was planning on using. How old should they be before I feed them to the betta? Or can I just use a turkey baster and put some in his tank and he will eat them whenever? Or are they only for betta fry? Cause I dont even have betta fry just saw my betta doesnt like pellets and the shrimp are so cheap soooo I thought he could eat shrimp *shrug* any how any pointers or tips? Is there some home made or easy to find thing i can feed the shrimp for free?

I would appreciate any help or info from those who have bred betta fish. My babies are half sun; the mom is a beautiful red halfmoon and the dad is a green/blue/red crowntail. There are at least 30 babies. I’m first time breeder and I’m keeping all my babies or adopting them into good homes but I am not selling them to any pet stores. They are 6 weeks old (a month and a half) and I’m already starting to see some colors. My question is, at this point can I still see some dead babies? I’m only feeding them brine shrimps because the microworm isn’t available and when we tried “breeding” microworms for my babies to eat they were born dead, so, complete failure. I’ll be changing them to a 10 gal tank next week. They’re in a 5 gal tank with live plants since they were born. Another question, how can I distinguish between baby males and baby females? When do I start separating them? What age I mean?
Any input will be highly appreciated. Breeding bettas has been the most rewarding experience my husband and I have ever lived to tell, especially now that the colors can be seen and all of them look so healthy. 
Anyone has a story to share? Can you tell me about your mistakes in the process so we can all learn here? My cat already loves them, not as food but as kitty tv! !!!! lol
