And since they are saltwater animals instead of freshwater (like worms or insect larvae), you generally don't have to worry about them giving your fish diseases or parasites. I'm not your neighbor, you Bakersfield trash.

I know they can be breed at home just follow all the instructions and have some doing it. Keith Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.

Either buy adult brine shrimp Artemia salina (some LFS will sell these) or if you really want to raise them yourself, get sea monkeys Artemia nyos as they are far easier to raise to adulthood IME For animals, the entire universe has been neatly divided into things to (a) mate with, (b) eat, (c) run away from, and (d) rocks. - Terry Pratchett
