I set up my BS hatching tray yesterday and I already have live BBS. So I have a couple of Q's as I'll have wigglers in the morning and need to get this all down before long. How long will the BBS stay alive in a container of saltwater after hatching? Should I feed them something or just keep hatching new ones? What about feeding them to enhance their nutritional value? Does it hurt the fry if a few shells get in with the BBS? A little off track but I've read yellow discus fry sometimes have trouble attaching cuz the parents aren't dark enough. Can th newly free swimming discus get any food off the sponge filter if it has parents slime coat and/or BBS on it? Well, I think thats enough Q's for now,
Thanx,
Kacey

North American Brine Shrimp home page says need to feed bbs asap as they start losing food value. I hatch a new batch each day.
