Brine Shrimp Tank?

[new_noob]

well, everyone knows that brine shrimp can be used as food, and they are wicked cool, thats why i want to have a tank of them, to have a little sand bed, and maby a little hunk of LR, and some snails, but would i need a powerhead in the tank? and is it wise to just have a tank of brine shrimp? :notsure:

:help:

It isnt a good idea..the brine shrimp will die, and make a mess of the tank...they are hard to feed, and the water quality continuously degrades because of their die off and the food...if you are keeping them as a specific feed, then it is different, but, you will be cycling them in and out.

Just go to the drug store and get a sea monkey kit...it is basicallyt the same thing.
