My angelfish just laid eggs today, and if all goes well, I'll need to feed them soon.  I've never raised brine shrimp before and I'm trying to do it on a budget  ::)
I was hoping someone might come to my rescue with some brine shrimp eggs - I don't think I need a lot, and all I can find online at decent value is in huge quantities.
I'm not even sure how to raise them but I am planning on purchasing this:

once I find some eggs (not ordering yet in case I need to buy some eggs after all.)

So, any help will be greatly appreciated... I can trade for baby angelfish!  ;D

You can all that stuff at either of the Big Al locations, full on hatching set ups or just eggs in small quantities.  I think they even have packets with the salt and eggs already mixed - just add H2O and air.  In its most basic form hatching only requires eggs, Brine (salt water), an airstone and a jug.

MSN me I have most of the stuff maybe we can come to an agreement on your plants for the needed stuff.  I have the eggs, the salt and the algea for them.  I just have to check if I have the eggs here or if I left them in Montreal and if they are my brother is comming next weekend and he can bring them.

I use frozen from SP to raise mine. Much easier, and grind flakes after the grow their fins.  BTW I have about 250 wigglers right now. You have to move them though before they are free swimmer if you have the pair in community tank.
