As above. I have a tropical tank and using an NT Labs brine shrimp hatching kit inside the tank(which is using salt water). Can i pour the whole solution into the tank or do i need to filter out the shrimp and just add them. (The prob is i dont have a brine shrimp net) Any ideas would be appreciated.

It is an easy process, but I’m finding it hard to keep up as there are so many. The parents hatched out one batch 3 weeks ago, which I removed into another tank to care for, then they laid and hatched out another batch last week, which I have left with the parents. There are thousands of them!!! Is there another way to feed them apart from the “small fry” liquid suspension? To me this is not good for them as they like to see the food moving before they will eat it. Any suggestions?
You have to keep in mind that these fish are the size of a match head, so the frozen shrimp you buy in the store are bigger than the fish I’m trying to feed.
