So today I set up my first salt water tank. But its not for fish. But for brine shrimp. I am going to be trying to raise them in a 2.5 gallon for a constant supply of food right next to my fresh water tanks. I found out you can buy a big bag of live brine shrimp from a store in Toronto. My brother is coming down as he lives past Toronto and is going to grab and bag for me. And next weekend boom I will instant brine shrimp colony. No waiting for eggs to hatch or baby brine shrimp to grow up. And it only $3.99. So my mini tank that has been running for along time with nothing in it as freshwater and just been transformed to salt water. Hope this works out.

Well I had no problem feeding them and keeping theme alive. But they did not seem to be breeding.
