brine shrimp

[yoba]

is it ok to feed brine shrimp in rotation with other pellets/ flakes to marine fish.also is it necessary to keep pellets in the freezer and why? How do you grow fresh algae to feed tangs etc.( i tried putting a piece of live rock in a jar with water and left it in the sun. the glass of the jar is getting covered by brown algae but nothing more

After going through the above you should see and understand why:
1. You don't want to feed Brine Shrimp unless it has been gut loaded and then no more than once out of every 10 meals;
2. You don't want to feed pellets of any kind or feed no more than once every 21 feedings;
3. You don't want to feed flake foods of any kind or feed no more than once every 21 feedings; and
4. You want to keep pellets and flakes in the refrigerator to keep them as fresh as possible. You want to buy these things in very small packages and after 2-3 months throw away all that is unused and buy fresh again.
