Can you really overfeed your fish fry with too much live baby brine shrimp? I was wondering because i have 3 2 week old baby sunset wagtail platies and i wanted to know can i overfeed them with brine shrimp? I usually feed them a small net scoop of brine shrimp once a day. Is that too much? Also will snails or emerald cory cats eat brine shrimp?

oh yes you can ...remember a fishies belly is as big as one of their eyes..over feeding will give your tank plenty of worms (planaria) and make the ammonia / nitrates go crazy

even if it is live food?

if live food isnt all eaten up, especially live bbs, it will die...dead food= lots of planaria(trust me ive been there last month LOL) and unless you do a couple gravel vacs a week to clean it, it could cause the ammonia/nitrates to go sky high...
