My brine shrimp experience is not very good. I got a packet of them from a store and after a few days i see nothing shrimplike, just a bunch of particles floating in an aerated bottle.

I use to breed BS but it was more trouble then it was worth for my time.
for $8.00 at my lfs i can buy million of frozen adult BS.my fish do love them as a treat.
i had a hard time keeping the colony alive after about the third generation.
here is a link to my notes i use to keep.

I've never had good luck with the little vials of eggs sold at the pet store. The larger containers with a % hatch rate listed are more reliable.
