	storing live food
Theresa_M Moderator Queen of Zoom Posts: 3649 Kudos: 4280 Votes: 790 Registered: 04-Jan-2004	This may be a silly question but how should I store live food? I just found out a lfs near me carries live...nice big portions of brine shrimp are $2 but it's too much for my fish for one day. The shrimp are in a regular bag so how should I store the rest to feed another day?

Use a bent straw (like hospital ones) to suck 'em up - just plug the long end with your thumb, put the short end in the water near a bunch of fish, and unplug the long end. They'll slurp right up in the straw, but you gotta be quick and re-plug it to keep 'em there.
