I have been to loads of fish shops in search of live food for my breeding of betta splendens, but it seemed that they only stocked them on a very random basis.I replaced live food with boiled earthworm cut up very finely (it works great), but i went to all the hassle of finding or digging them up , scalding them with water , cutting them with a scissors and freezing them for later…. and being always told by my fiancee that I was disgusting. One day my 6 year old daughter returned from a toy shop down the road with “sea monkeys”? I never heard of them either, on close inspection they turned out to be brine shrimp that a child could harvest and keep them for a guaranteed 2 years, they multiply or breed or whatever readily…..I couldnt believe it, happy days, so its the toy shop for pet food and pet shop for pet toys ( i have dogs too).

Thanks!

Feeding live Brine Shrimp?

admin — Sun, 11 Sep 2011 17:32:17 +0000

I’m currently cycling an Eclipse 5 gallon corner fish tank (freshwater) housing a single juvenile Zebra Danio and an African Dwarf Frog. My equipment includes a bio-wheel filter, hood lamp, air stone, large gravel substrate and a 25-watt Top Fin heater that is currently set at low and produces a consistent water temp. of 77.5 degrees. (sorry if this was all useless info!)

Basically, I’m looking to diversify/enhance said Danio’s & ADF’s current diet of flake food and frozen blood worms. Preferably, I’d like to find a local pet store (Seattle area) that sells ready-to-feed live brine shrimp. Setting up a mini-hatchery in my tiny ass apartment seems like a hassle (let me know of any possible mis-conceptions I may have about this!), although if no better options present themselves, I’ll make it work.

Can anyone share their experience feeding live Brine Shrimp? How often/how much should I feed? How do I make sure the ADF gets his fair share of live Brine Shrimp?

Regards!
I’m sticking with a single Zebra Danio just until the tank has finished cycling.

Fish feeding help!?

I have a 10 gallon and an 8 gallon freshwater tank, two separate tanks. They are 6 non aggressive fish in the 10 gallon. I got brine shrimp for the 1st time and wanted to feeding them the frozen brine shrimp. I fed them a tablet of the brine shrimp today. How often should I feed them the frozen brine shrimp. Normally i feed them tropical flakes.

PS: The 8 gallon i got today…i got it because i wanted a planted tank and they don’t make the proper lighting for 10 gallon tanks. At the moment… the 8 gallon is cycling and has a CO2 system, power sand and substrate, and a nice built in filter with awesome lighting!

Thanks!

I just found white/hairy bacteria coming out from air pump in my freshwater aquarium. Is it safe for my fish?

admin — Tue, 06 Sep 2011 01:48:20 +0000

When I saw them, it thought they were brine shrimp, but they weren’t. They look so identical…Why they live inside of aquarium air pump? My fish ate them a lot, are they dangerous?
