I have guppies, a molly, neons, and a couple cat fish. I want to know if I can feed them all live brine shrimp? I found a small hatchery online that let's them hatch and swim out to be eaten, but will my types of fish eat them?

yes provided they can fit in their mouths

I don't have a clue how big brine shrimp are...LOL. I'm pretty sure my molly will be fine, but what about my guppies and neons?

neons probably wont mess with them..but ya never know..they are great food source tho...

Hi dorcy: your fish will love you for that treat!

I have been looking around for those ready to hatch shrimps (there's a good brand that mails them from San Francisco, CA, but I can't order living organisms down here). No LFS sell those down here. I ended up purchasing Ghost Shrimps, and if they ever produce fry (which apparently, if you put five in a species only tank, will happen) I intend to feed everyone with them.

Glad to know you're taking good care of your crew! way to go!

just so you know, ghost shrimp need aquarium salt in the water in order to successfully hatch fry.
