What to feed baby/adult brine.

[stickx911]

I bought some live brine from Petland the other day, and I am curious as to any over the counter food I can give them to keep them alive. I know I should feed them the seachem or other reef made product, but there has to be something I already have (cornmeal, flower, sugar) they may eat...I don't do the live food thing often so I really cannot justify buying another chemical (that costs more than the brine did).

sorry that was a rant and question at the same time...like a power question!

hatching brine is as easy. they are are healthy to feed in their first 12 hours or so.
I spent like 20 bucks for an unlimited setup.

I have a hatchery, I used to use it for my FW fish, but they all outgrew the baby brine so I switched to freeze dried. Now I have some live, and they all love 'em. I have them in a little 2.5 with a heater and air stone, but I don't know how long they can go without something to eat...

my brine go about a week without food but when i do feel like feeding them they eat green microalgae so i get some from my tank and throw it in... this was back when i had a freshwater.. right now my hatchery isnt running because i have no tank setup

just hatch enough for a day or 2. then do it again. & again.
