I would most likely try the rotifer sized particles. Most commercial shrimp farms use baby brine to feed zoea. Dry feed like golden pearls are used to stretch this. Live micro algae seems to help reduce mortality of larval shrimp. See http://copepod.com for a variety of micro algae concetrates. Try running a search for breeding lysamata should bring a lot of sites.
