Hi. So in my new community tank I have 2 scarlet badis baby fish. They are less than an inch long, but at full size are only about an inch long. Anyway, they weren't eating flakes or micro food or frozen food, so I am resorting to live baby brine shrimp.

Question: What do I do to feed them? I know they have eaten some already, but should I dump the whole little container of shrimp into the water or should I just put in a few every day? How long do they last? They don't need to be refrigerated right? How should I store them? Do I need to buy new ones every week?

Thank you for all answers!!!

Dont dump them all in...fishies belly's are the size of one of their eyes...overfeeding will throw the tank out of wack...I would feed small feedings 3 times a day to fry...I think the live ones are good for a few days ...did you buy a hatchery ?

No, I did not buy a hatchery. Just about 1/4 cup of it in a little plastic cup. But thank you for the link
