Some types of fish, such as
baby Betta Fish, are too small to eat baby brine
shrimp and must eat smaller food first. A few types
of baby fish, such as Plecostomus Catfish, will
not eat baby brine shrimp.
But most livebearer babies
such as Guppies, Mollies, Platies, and Swordtails,
will eat lots of baby brine shrimp and grow much
faster to become stronger and healthier fish when
fed baby brine shrimp. Almost all types of Cichlid
fry benefit greatly, when fed baby brine shrimp.

Different Types of Brine Shrimp live in many
places around the world. They grow to a maximum
of about 3/8", which is about 1 cm., in length.
These adult Brine Shrimp are often harvested and
sold as food for small fish.
The eggs of the Brine Shrimp are also collected
and carefully processed. Hobbyist and professional
fish breeders can purchase eggs, hatch them, and
feed the newly hatched baby brine shrimp to their
baby fish.
