Absolutely. A few minutes ago

You put it in whole? Should I stop chopping mine?

Big ones I'll break up, small ones I drop in whole. More fish get some if you chop it up. My naso gets most when I put them in whole, she's a pig.

Feed them with the dirt and all.


They do , but he asked about "newly hatched" brine shrimp. After about 2 days they start to feed and they are filter feeders but I doubt you would get enough gut bacteria in them to be of any benefit for that purpose.

If you feed them dirt and all, make sure no one's spraying pesticides around. I've heard of a couple tanks crashing that way.

I can feed fresh earthworms to my tangs?

I have always done that.
