Hi,
Absolutely NOT. The brine shrimp eggs will create a
severe blockage within the intestinal tract of the fish
and become impacted. The fish will die w/o surgery and
I doubt any of us are skilled enough for that.

You must hatch the brine shrimp and then carefully siphon
off the shrimp and NOT the egg shells (that will eventually
settle to the bottom) before feeding.
