I don't know much about brine shrimp but what I do know is this:

if you use the regular type of brine shrimp eggs you have to be careful getting the shrimp out so you don't get any shells with them

brine shrimp need to be rinsed first before being placed in a freshwater tank so you don't add extra salt to the tank

the shrimp will only live about an hour in a freshwater tank so you have to be careful how many you put in so they don't pollute your tank

If you really want to give your "babies" live food you may want to look into another type such as microworms or vinegar eels. Both need alot of work tho.

You could just give them some frozen/thawed bloodworms as a treat. I like the Hikari brand as the smaller size comes in 2 individually wrapped ziplocked packages that are flat. I just break off a small amount and allow it to thaw in a shotglass or eggcup.
