Well its actually probely cheaper to keep buying the frozen brine shrimp. Most people hatch baby brine shrimp for their fry. But anyway put them in a 3-5 gallon container, put an air stone in there, heat it, and you can feed them powders fish food and I believe they will eat lettuce.

a soda bottle is best and easier to hatch them in,
so their would be no gravel in the soda bottle.

2) i only raise bbs to feed to young fish.

3)in a soda bottle, use a flash light to light up the bottom of the bottle so the bbs will travel to the bottom, un-hachet eggs will usually be on the top where u can remove some of the water and eggs withut alot of the babies being at the top.

4) yea, i did

5)a turkey syphon will be best.

It is possible to raise them to adult sizes for larger fishes.

But to do this, you have to feed them.

Here's a nice page about this

One food that you can use to feed the nauplii is baker's yeast. Alternatively, you can cultivate 'green water' (which quite a few aquarists can do with ease when they DON'T want to! ) and feed that to them. Best way of making 'green water' full of microscopic algae for them to eat is to mix up a batch of salt water, add extra nitrates and phosphates, then leave it on a windowsill in direct sunlight. It'll turn into a nice green soup of suspended unicellular algae in no time.
