Diana,

Newly hatched brine shrimp obtain their nutrition from egg yolk sacs. They cannot eat until they are 36 hours old, or something like that, so feeding the BBS anything is useless.

The egg yolk sacs are what make BBS nutritious, so it is important to have the BS hatch just before feeding them to the fry.

Once the fry get a lot bigger, you can keep your BS longer and gutload them with Selco or Selcon. Doing so any earlier is a waste, ime.

Good luck with the remaining fry
