I just an old 10g tank. I feed them phyto and some flake food. My fish like the live treats.

so after they hatch you add them to a 10g, feed them phyto and flake food? would feeding them flake food alone be good enough? i saw an article saying something that he feeds them as soon as theyre hatched because they stlil have the yolk attached to them which is good for the fish

Newly hatched brine shrimp do not develop a mouth until 24 hours of age. Feeding them prior to this time is of no value. What are you trying to feed? There is a difference between grow out foods and enrichments. Once past the 24 hour mark their nutritional value is minimal unless enriched.

just wanted to try something new. got a couple of wrasses that might like hunting these down since theyre always picking stuff of the rocks and glass
