Enriching brine shrimp

Hello all! Before I can get my dwarf seahorses, I need to learn how to enrich brine shrimp. Here is what I thought I had to do;

1 - Hatch the brine shrimp

2 - Move the BBS to a separate enrichment bottle

3 - After 24 hrs, add the enrichment substance (I am planning on a 50/50 mix of krill powder and spirulina)

4 - After another 12-24 hrs (feeding more at 12 hrs) feed brine shrimp to seahorses.

 

Any modifications I need to make to this? Thanks :)

I think you want to feed them shortly after enriching, as the brine acts as a "package" of the enriching food that the seahorses will recognize. 

 

Kind of of like gut loading crickets by feeding quality veggies right before feeding to a lizard. The lizard eats the whole cricket, enriching food and all.
