How do you guys keep your brine shrimp alive?

So, I am finally able to hatch brine shrimp but I don't want to feed them all brine shrimp at the same time. How do I keep them alive for another day? Thanks

 

I believe all you have to do is put them in the fridge and they will last a few days. They sort of hibernate.

It's that easy? I thought I would have to do a lot more than that. This makes things so much easier. Thanks

 

Here is what I read on the Brineshrimpdirect.com site:

“Harvest the baby brine shrimp (BBS) into a fine mesh net and rinse with fresh water. Divide the harvest from 1 gram of brine shrimp eggs into 3 or 4 shallow dishes (petri dishes) with a saturated brine solution. Place the dishes in the refrigerator.


The BBS should remain alive for 2-3 days for later feedings.”

 

What do they mean with "Divide the harvest from 1 gram of brine shrimp eggs into 3 or 4 shallow dishes (petri dishes) with a saturated brine solution"?

 

They mean that when you started you used 1 gram on bbs eggs. So then you can divide your harvest in 4.
But just keep your whole harvest in one jar, that works as well.
