[jamiejay09]

hello all,

i hatched some brine shrimp but they are too small for my fish to eat at the moment. will they get bigger?and can i move them to another jar which is bigger than the hatchery for them to grow up in? but because all the water is measured to the correct amount to go with the amount of salt how do i add more water without killing them ?
please help me as im rather stuck

You would need to add more salt to the larger volume of water. Lots of articles on the 'net about how to feed brine shrimp to adulthood, such as this one:

Growing Adult Brine Shrimp, by William Berg

Adult brine shrimp have little nutrititional value to your fish, however. As newly hatched shrimp, they are a good source of food for fry, but after 12 hours or so, they lose most of the food value they had.
