Can you reproduce baby brine shrimp??

I want to have a constant supply for my fry… but I dont want to keep buying eggs.. is there a way to like reproduce the BBS and get eggs? How many tanks will I need?

Fish feeding help!?

I have a 10 gallon and an 8 gallon freshwater tank, two separate tanks. They are 6 non aggressive fish in the 10 gallon. I got brine shrimp for the 1st time and wanted to feeding them the frozen brine shrimp. I fed them a tablet of the brine shrimp today. How often should I feed them the frozen brine shrimp. Normally i feed them tropical flakes.

PS: The 8 gallon i got today…i got it because i wanted a planted tank and they don’t make the proper lighting for 10 gallon tanks. At the moment… the 8 gallon is cycling and has a CO2 system, power sand and substrate, and a nice built in filter with awesome lighting!

Thanks!

what is the easiest way to raise live brine shrimp for my betta fish?

I’ve researched it a great deal and everything seems very complicated… also it seems like nobody makes brine shrimp tanks that do any more than hatching them… i want mine to grow into adults. I’m also open for suggestions on bloodworms…

do brine shrimp do they need bubbles ALL the time?

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.
