I have a 4-gallon tank with copepods in it, I am feeding them live phytoplankton/crushed pellets at the moment.
I recently started thinking about starting a small brine shrimp culture where I can let them live out their whole life span rather than feeding them after a few days of being hatched.
I am thinking of hatching the brine shrimp separately and then placing the live brine shrimp in the culture.
Is this a viable option?
From my understanding, they will eat live phytoplankton so I beleive I am good on the feeding part, but I am not sure how the baby pods will fare against the brine shrimp or if the shrimp will be eaten by the pods.
Do you have a similar setup? What would you suggest?
