Does anyone know if your able to make frozen brine shrimp cubes or do you have to buy them???
 
if you really wanted to, i dont see why not

if you hatched alot yourself, you could get the tiny ice cube trays made for the mini-freezers/dorm rooms, and freeze the desired ammount right in the trays, adding some water to ensure the shrimp are all frozen together
 
all you need is a lot of brine shrimp.. some water.. a small ice cube tray that and a freezer......

however its a lot easyer to make "sheets" of diy frozen food... just make a layer in a ziplock freezer bag and put it on a cookiesheet/pizzabox/cuttingboard/whateversflat and then put it in the freezer... once its frozen you can wack it against the counter to break it apart into chunks..
 
Not worth the effort. The frozen brine shrimp you can buy are harvested in the wild, not farmed. Or at least I assume they are...if they are farmed, its in a far larger facility than you could maintain, or would want to maintain.
