I am putting yeast in my tank as food for my brine shrimp and I have 2 questions:
1. Does yeast need to be fed? If so, what?
2. Does salt kill yeast? I have a lot of salt in my tank, about 25g per litre.

My Brine Shrimp Grow Out Project!
Ok so this video is summarizing and explaining my latest project. Growing Adult Brine Shrimp. This has been very difficult for me for the last couple of years but this time I think I’ve really nailed the formula. This video is taken on an update of week 2. I will put up another update once they reach a reasonable size.

Fairy Shrimp by God or Fairy Tale
Psalm 136:4 To him who alone doeth great wonders: for his mercy endureth for ever.” There are about 300 species of a delicate creature known as Fairy shrimp. Unlike the shrimp that might end up on your plate for dinner, Fairy shrimp are typically very small. Fairy shrimp usually live in pools of water that may dry up and remain dry for years. When the pool is dry, they exist as egg-like cysts, sometimes for years, before the rains begin to fill the pool. Early in 2005, biologists announced the discovery of a new species of Fairy shrimp swimming in two lakebeds of the Idaho desert. The new species is much larger than most Fairy shrimp, growing as long as three inches. It has spines on its front legs for capturing prey. While they look frilly and delicate, they prey on smaller Fairy shrimp. When the larger Fairy shrimp finds a smaller shrimp, it bites it to immobilize it. If it’s not hungry at the moment, it stores its catch by attaching it to velcro-like patches on it abdomen. A full-grown member of the new species can store up to four smaller shrimp for later use. The beauty of these Fairy shrimp is a testimony to God’s unlimited creativity. At the same time, its cannibalism is a witness to the effects of sin. We thank God that He has sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to save us from the ultimate consequences of our sin. Prayer: Thank You, Lord, for carrying my sin on the cross and bringing this Gospel to my ears and heart. Amen. Notes: Associated Press, 3/16/05, “New fairy …
can i feed my sea monkeys/brine shrimp yeast and algae liquid mixed together?
hey ummm i just hatched some sea monkeys and i wana feed them so i heard that when you put lettuce in a jar on a window sill it turns into algae. its been 2 days and its turned into a yellow brown-green colour and i just wanted to ask if this is safe to feed them.
and also i have some yeast here in my room but the yeast itself is like little balls that are too big to feed to the sea monkeys should i crush the yeast so they can eat it?? or will it just dissolve into the tank water… and 1 more thing if the algae is good for them to eat can i mix the algae liquid with the yeast to make a kinda liquid sea monkey food?
thanks

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.
