    no salt brine shrimp

    Most of you that raise egg layers also hat brine shrimp cists to feed them.
    One of the steps is to rince them off to remove the salt before you feed your fry. But if you use baking soda instead of salt, you don't need to rince them.

    Try 1 tsp bs cysts & 1 tsp baking soda in 2L of dechlorinated water.
    You should get a just as good a hatch rate as if you used salt.
    'Dear Lord,' the minister began, with arms extended toward heaven and a rapturous look on his upturned face. 'Without you, we are but dust ...'
    He would have continued but at that moment my very obedient daughter who was listening leaned over to me and asked quite audibly in her shrill little four-year old girl voice, 'Mom, what is butt dust?'

    There's always fairy shrimp, which are similar but live in freshwater.
    You're crazy if you think I'm gonna fall for that!
