Okay, just 2 weeks ago, my friends got me a female fighting fish (AKA Betta) for my male betta. Anyhow, they laid eggs and whatnot, but I couldn't grow brine shrimp fast enough to feed the fry, so they all died This week, they laid eggs again (wow o_O) and I came prepared with the shrimp, but they live in SALT water. My bettas are strictly limited to fresh water, so how do I feed the shrimp to the bettas? PS: they can go right through fish nets, the brine shrimp are a fraction of a millimeter. PSS: Some people don't understand what I'm trying to pose, so here's the summary: How do I feed saltwater organisms to freshwater fry, without disrupting the salinity of the freshwater?

I'm pretty sure the shrimp can last at least an hour in fresh water.

How can you even see them if they are that tiny?

do u know how to hatch brine shrimps? u put eggs in an upside down bottle with air stone in it, fill it with water+some salt and put in the eggs then turn on the air pump. after hatching, filter out the shrimps and feed it to the Betta. i don't think betta fry is big enough for brine shrimp try hikari first bites

You karate chop the shrimp, then finish it. After, you wash it. Perfect, no?
