I bought some frozen stuff today from Fishrock. BS and Spirulina. Threw it in the tank and it got demolished! Unless you raise BS yourself I wouldn't bother feeding live BS for big tanks. Too much hassle when frozen is just as good.

Newly hatched BBS (Baby Brine Shrimp) is nutritionally better than the adult. However they can be a bit small for large fish.

So it really depends on what type of fish you're feeding.

Raising BS is too much hassle - just get it from a LFS near you. There are several brands, I usually use Hikari.

Thanks Guys,

I will go and buy some frozen BS and will also try the spirulina.

My wild discus at the moment is very picky so hopefully he/she will take a liking to the BS or spirulina.
