What’s the best way to hook a live shrimp for pier fishing?

Trouts and reds are what run this area this time of year. What hooks/jigs etc. work best with live shrimp?

My 7 year old wants to know why shrimp and lobsters have to be in water to survive, but not crabs?

Breeding brine shrimp?

Last year I bought a packet of brine shrimp eggs. (To feed freshwater fish) Now that I have a marine tank (65gallon with 4 percula clowns and small corals)(it’s fully matured so now i’m starting to add corals) Will brine shrimp lay eggs in the tank. Last time I fed my percula clowns brine shrimp was last week and last night after I turned off the light and looked into my tank with a small torch I could see some brine shrimp swimming around.
Will they breed themselves? Or is there anyway to promote breeding? I want them for the perculas and coral.
Any advice would be much appreciated.

PLEASE help me w/ my fish!?!?!?!?

First off: R.I.P. BENNY FISHKINS!!!! He was my 3 1/2 year old australian rainbow… :(

Okay now that that is out of my system, I am going to be adding a few more fish to my tanks. Here goes:

5g: 1 male betta and a snail. WHAT CAN I ADD???? Maybe some shrimp and about 4 corydoras? What do you think?

10g: 2 platies, 2 guppies, 2 golden danios, 2 otocinclus. I was thinking of adding 1-3 freshwater clams(small,about 1.5 inches) and a small fiddler crab. Yay or nay?

15g: 1 australian rainbow fish(poor Mrs.Fishkins all alone…), 6 corydoras. I was wanting to add 3-5 of some kind of tetra around 2-3 inches big. Any you think would work?

PLEASE TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK AND ANY SUGGESTIONS YOU HAVE ARE WELCOME!!! THANKS!
