What would you be feeding these cory fry? I bought brine shrimp but don’t have a small enough heater to hatch them :/

Hey there! I have success hatching BBS in my 65-78 degree home. Sure they take longer to hatch and won’t have the advertised hatch rate but as long your hatchery separates the eggs from BBS ur gtg.
Oh also, use an air stone!! This is way more important than a heater. The air bubbles tumble the eggs keeping them suspended thus noticeably increase your yields.
Tip: How I make my solution. This is just using what I have around the house and they hatch, DYOR.
-1 Quart of water
-2 Tablespoons non-ionized salt (I use kosher salt)
-Treat water with dechlorinator
-Test PH and adjust to over 8 (baking sodium raises PH)
-Mix till homogenized and test for PH
Hi! I've got an air stone, I separate the cory eggs when they're laid and keep them in the dark, temp is about 73-74F. They're in a hatchery net with two air stones on either side. But I don't think it's enough and I keep trying. I've tried methylene blue and the alder cones people have suggested and have no luck. They turn light brown so I think they're fertilized but they still get the mold.
Your salt water treatment - are you putting the eggs in that water? Is it a separate tank? Can you share what your air stone setup looks like that allows them to tumble so well? Please as advised, I've tried so many methods and nothing has worked.
Oh I’m talking about baby brine shrimp in this comment lmao
Ah, I was hoping you had more information!
Ohh no sorry, I’m retarded when it comes to breeding care. I’ve stuck to plants most my life lol
Lol! No worries, thank you for your honesty!
