How much salt to hatch brine shrimp eggs?

How much salt (non-iodized) do I need per liter of water? I have sea salt which is in grinder/shaker, but no aquarium salt.
Also, how many teaspoons of eggs in 1 liter if I plan on raising them. I have strong, coarse, bubbles and 74 degree water.

i recently got a brine shrimp hatchery 2 weeks ago for my JD fry, which died cause the daddy went haywire and killed the mom n then the babies.. (they spawned 7 times before idk what got into him…) anyways, the brine shrimp are still alive.. i got the kit where you stick them in a 2 liter bottle and attach it to this base where you put the bubbler tube at the bottom and all.. i read u can feed them yeast.. so i gave them a pinch of it, and will do every week until the algae starts to grow.. butttt.. i want to move them into a ‘gold fish’ bowl. i know gold fish cannot possibly live in one, but i seen it in walmart, bought it for the BS, and was wondering if i could put them in there.. and not put bubbles in it? or do they need full on bubbles? i know they need heat, and my house is real warm, especially in my room where all my fish are.. their tanks are a constant 75 F. but yeah could they live in a goldie bowl with no bubbles? or what could i do? info on BS would help alot!
sorry about typing an entire book hahah.

My brine shrimp hatched…now what?

Posted on August 21, 2010 by admin| 3 Comments

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?
