Ok so I put brine shrimp eggs in my 10 gallon nano wit 1 clown and 1 lepord puffer (no aggression) and thay hatched by accident and I thought they were the pre hatched ones.so even Day I feed my fish these and they eat most of them but now the leftovers are hatching and accumulating! I stopped feeding considering my puffer and clown are just eating the shrimp. my question is how can I get rid of a lot of them

no, not unless your tank is completely full of them, but a few wont cause a spike. If you really want them out, just use a brine shrimp net and scoop them out., but I wouldnt bother

Fish usually are pretty good about eating all the brine shrimp available, are you sure they're brine shrimp and not on of the 'bods that live and breed in reef systems.

Has me tempted to just throw some brine shrimp eggs in the tank. I’ve been debating on investing in a hatchery but that sounds much better. Lol

You can check on youtube for DIY hatcheries that use empty 1 litre pop bottles, thats what I do, no need to spend on a hatchery.
