Brine shrimp...

I have a bunch on brine shrimp eggs and I was wondering how you feed them? Raise them to baby stage and give them to the crabs or just give them the eggs?

The crabs will be much more interested in baby brine shrimp than the eggs. It's been a while, but I remember feeding my brine shrimp tiny pieces of hardboiled egg yolk. That worked well. There is also commercial fry food for egg layers such as liquifry.

Can you feed them tiny pieces of fish food?

When they first hatch they will be too small. Some people do worm cultures and such to feed them.

Well....change out the water and start all over. Make sure you water is prime for hatching them and then go from there. If it fails after a few trials then maybe you have a bad batch of eggs.
