A few small plastic decorations are also useful for them to have somewhere to hide. Start practicing raising bbs with a fairly routine schedule. Basically you will require a new batch every other day. Selcon enrichment and some bbs food is also helpful for keeping the shrimp alive. Either phytoplankton ( expensive if you don't brew your own ) or some home recipe food. A good quick food for bbs is taking a cup of water and adding 2 teaspoons of organic baby food. 1 tsp of sweet potatoes and 1 tsp of peas. Mixed very well and you can use it to feed your bbs.
Thanks for the great infos

Any approximate tablespoon measurement to feed the fries everyday? Like 1 tablespoon eggs should be hatched per day or something like that? That's where I am confused :P
