first you will need to purchase brine shrimp eggs
from your LFS or the internet

1 . a two liter plastic drinks bottle
2. aquarium salt or cooking salt
3. a lenth of airline and a air stone
4. a small air pump

fill drinks bottle 3/4 full of cooled boiled
water add 3 tbl spoons of aquarium salt
and shake till dissolved add one tea spoon
of brine shrimp eggs drill two holes in drinks
bottle top place air line through one of the holes
and attatch air stone make lenth of air line long enough
so it is just of the bottom of the bottle now attatch air pump
and turn on this all need placing in a warm place with in 24 to
36 hours you should have baby brine shrimp feed on ground up
fish flake only a very small amount

baby brine shrimp can be fed to most fish fry and is
a good source of protein for growing fish brine shrimp
can be growen on till it get to about 2 mm long

That's a good idea. I used to use demi johns stood on the top of a hood in front of the window. The light on the hood would keep the water warm in order to help with the hatching.
