I picked up 2 BRS brine shrimp hatcheries and I have to say, this thing is dang amazing (no jars, no DIY contraptions that requires smarts I don't have). The BBS leave the eggs behind and congregate in the center skieve where I can lift just the BBS out to feed my dwarf ponies.
Now I realized a week after (due to either lack of reading or too much info for me to follow), I need to gutload or enrich them after 24 hours for more nutrients. So I got Spirulina powder.
My question is, after I mix it up, can I squirt it right into the hatchery after 24 hours of initial hatching for convenience (which I clean out once a week and start over hatching), or do I need to remove the BBS and put in a separate jar?
if I need to separate them into a jar, do I need to aerate the jars?
I am also reading on water changes in BBS water- how without losing the BBS? So confused.
Help please?
