My Platy had babies.?

I have 12 babies. I have them in a birthing net. I crushed up some brine shrimp and sprinkled them in the net. A few of them pecked at it. How often and what should I feed them?

How do I keep decapsulated Brine Shrimp eggs?

I just for the first time decapsulated some brine shrimp eggs, but I found a big problem. My brine shrimp net leeks the eggs out, so what do I use to strain the eggs out of the luqids? and could I just leave whats left of the eggs in the net over a vent to dry? Thankyou >__< Melonie what'd you do with them? o.o sorry for complaining v_v
Thankyou Lala<3 for finally answering waht I was asking ?_? and I took my kilis and put them into a small plastic aquarium, because its easier for me to change water, without losing them. I just want them to grow faster, because I have one fry that is not big enough to be with the molly frys( I have 3 kilis that are the same size as the mollys in there) but big enough to eat like two of the frys where they are( I think it already ate one of them :(
And I'm trying to feed them to my pencilfish, because they seem to like it. The flakes go to the bottom and they don't eat them, but the extra brine shrimp I fed them kept on circleing around, so they can eat them from where their hiding.( they seem to be sceared of the current from the small filter)

What animals are OK to test on?

I need to know what animals are OK to test on. I need to do a science project, and the teacher is unavaible. I was unable to find any resourses on the net.
My friend is experimenting on brine shrimp so I know that is legal, but I also know you can’t expirment on anything with a spine. Can anyone point me to a list of animals that I can test on? I’d do brine shrimp, but they are so small and difficult to work on for what I’m doing.
Thanks.
I haven’t thought of the experiment yet. It wouldn’t involve any cutting of the animal or anything. I was thinking something having to do exercise like making fish swim for long periods of time to test their endurance.
