I am looking to feed my tropical freshwater fish, and can’t find anything offline. Do they sell them at petco, petsmart, or are they only at specialty fish stores?
Thanks!

Brine Shrimp??
I want to buy some Brine Shrimp to keep as pets but I don’t know what water to keep them in, I have aquarium salt for freshwater fish, can I put some of this in the water? Or do i have to buy sea salt? or can I use tablesalt? how much? do I even need salt? thanks

Feeding live Brine Shrimp?
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?
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?
