It only takes 24-48 hours for the brine shrimp to hatch and a full 2L bottle seeded with a teaspoon of brine shrimp eggs lasts me a little more than a week with 3X a day feedings of the little guys.

I have one of those small hatcheries from San Francisco Bay company (I think that's the name), which satisfies my needs. The adult shrimps are for bigger fish like Angels, Tangs, and Butterflies. I don't think those fish would be interested in or see baby brine shrimp.

Well, currently my larger fish are eating Ocean Nutrition Green and Red Seaweed Selects so I guess I don't really need the adult brine shrimp. But it was just something I wanted to feed for variety (and for fun to watch) but I guess it isn't necessary considering the lack of nutritional value of adult brine shrimp.
