I was at my usual pet-shop some time ago and decided to get some Artemia naupli for a little experiment.
I hatched the naupli and transfered them to a container with aproximately 18l of salt water. I´ve been feeding them yeast and a microalgae powder. I didn´t use any aireation because well...this was just a test, and i hate air-pumps xD
The results so far are ok. There isn´t a large amount of individuals, but there are enough for me to be quite happy with the experiment. They are growing well and some are nearing adulthood.
I´m definitely going to try again with improved conditions in the future. I want to build up experience with these, and then try with fresh-water species.

Anyway, i just thought i´d mention this, because it proofs that with very little, it´s easy to raise them. Maybe it will encourage others.
