hi, i have a question. can i put spirulina powder/haematochrom powder into bbs hatching container so that baby brine shrimp can eat spirulina and haematochrom, and i can feed apistos with them.
Yes you can, they will filter feed any suitably sized particle from the water column. I've fed Daphnia with Spirulina and Paprika powder, but I'm not sure it really makes them any better for the fish. <http://www.brineshrimpegg.com/apps/blog/entries/show/3180204-raising-brine-shrimp-to-adult> & <http://www.brineshrimpdirect.com/Enriching-with-Spirulina-c89.html>.can i put spirulina powder/haematochrom powder into bbs hatching container so that baby brine shrimp can eat spirulina and haematochrom, and i can feed apistos with them.

You can buy HUFA rich foods specifically for feeding Brine Shrimps. If you are interested in raising BBS and other life food, I'd recommend Mike Hellweg's book "Culturing Live Food" <http://www.amazon.com/Culturing-Live-Foods-Step-Step/dp/0793806550>. It has a good chapter on BBS.

i have read about haematochrom powder that it can not dissolve in water, it can only dissolve in oil. just not sure if i can add it to the hatching bottle.Hi all,
