Help i have started feeding baby brine shrimp

So I started hatching baby brine shrimp I use a gallon of water and 3 and a half to 4 tbsp of aquarium salt. My ph is 6.6 but I raised it for the brine shrimp to 8.6. But I went to feed my fish I didnt think to strain the brine shrimp also I'm not sure the best way to do it. I have cheese cloth is that able to do the trick. Its clean. When I fed the fish I used a syringe sucked up about 5-7 oz of brine shrimp water mix. And sprayed it in the tank then I remembered the tanks ph is 6.6 and the brine shrimps water is 8.6ish. So I tested the tanks water and it was 6.8. So any advice would really help thank you very much. Any tips is welcomed for raising brine shrimp as live food.

Hello so I've started raising brine shrimp, I've been trying to do it for a month now.
I've never managed to keep a batch alive for more than 2-3 days.

My water is a ph of 6.6, no ammonia nitrite and nitrate, I have hard water. Now what I did with my current batch is I filled a 1 gallon water jug I added api ph up.
I got it about 8.0-8.8 then I added aquarium salt using a 2 tbsp measurement but not full as close to 1 3/4 tbsp as I could I did 3 of those. Mixed it very well. Then put some of the water in a brine shrimp hatchery, then added eggs and turned on the airpump.

Now they have hatched I put them in the 1g jug removing some of the egg shells that were floating. Now they are all in the jug with an air pump there is not airstone on the line. It’s only an inch in the water trying to let them swim and stuff but still trying to give them air.

Do any of you have some tips that will help me get the brine shrimp to a good size. My betta wont eat them at this size my neons, ember, danios, and mollies will but I still want to grow them to a good size. What's the best food to give the brine shrimp and how soon should I do feed it. I have whole wheat flour set aside.

I'm about to break up some algea wafers and soak them for a few hours then put them through a cheese cloth when they are soft to break the algea up. But other than those 2 foods which I will feed a little of every other day switching between each food.
So I'd do 3-4 feedings a week starting monday I will feed the flour, then Wednesday I will feed algea, etc. Thank you sorry for the long post any advice will be very appreciated

 

1 micron spirulina powder. Bbs should start eating 30? Or so hours after hatching

A gallon of water to hatch bbs? How many thousand babies are you feeding?

I hatch brine shrimp all the time in low pH water (about 6.7) without any problems.

Although some folks don’t rinse them at all, I use a very small strainer and dip them in a small cup of water from the tank to rinse them before feeding.

The fry I feed BBS to are in a breeder box, so there’s no need to target feed. . . I just dump a small amount of BBS into the breeder box and the fry find them.

Between 2 tanks I have 20ish fish. But I'm trying to have enough so I can try getting some to atleast a teen. For my betta he wont est them with how small they are now. But if I can get them bigger than he should eat them since he eats the bigger detritus worms that used to be in the tank. And I feed a bit to many brine shrimp to my main tank I feed about 30-40 brine shrimp once a day. To my 20g some go to waist but the fish I have in the 20 take a good bit of them to before they stop eating them. I have 6 neon tetras only 2 of them are young, 4 ember tetras all fully grown, 2, 2inch black mollies and 5 zebra danio which are also fully grown. Yes I know I over feed but I'm trying to keep them at a point where they wont kill the shrimp in the tank. Then in my 10g I have my betta and 3 dwarf crawfish. which if I can get the brine shrimp bigger than all of them will eat the brine shrimp

I find I cant get them to stay alive more than a couple of days. And I want to raise them to adult hood or big enough my betta and dwarf craws will eat them.
