You can use an in-tank BShrimp hatcher. These can be used in SW or FW tanks. The shrimp brine stays in the unit. As the shrimp hatch, they're attracted to the lighter plastic by the exit port and swim out into the tank as fresh live food. I used these in my Catalina goby rearing tanks and they worked fine.

And I was going to post a pic of this...But I see I don't need to...They are awsome. The salt and egg shells stay in the hatchery and the brine shrimp babies are free to swim into the fry tank. When the brine shrimp babies start getting low, just add more eggs since the salt stays in the hatchery. They are twenty bucks on ebay.

I have seen them in shops,didnt think it was any good,but if Oddball likes it I will give it a shot.
Thanks
 
and if so how well? How many fish are being feed from this thing? How often do you have to add more eggs? Wow, that is a lot of questions! Thanks
 
just put a cup of your tank water by a window and grow some algea for them to munch on.
