Default Help - Breeding brine shrimp

Hi all,

This is my first post here, hopefully someone can help me out.
My blue ram start breeding last week any I start looking for clue to feed
the fry.
I've looked into many thread regarding breeding brine shrimp, and decided
to try it.

I've use the similar method as on this website
http://www.aquariumhobbyist.com/endl...arer/page4.htm
After waiting 48 hours, I took a sample and looked them under 400x
magnification, and see that the eggs are all
"open up" and tiny crystal like stuff are stuck with the egg shell, but no
baby brine shrimp.

My mixture is as follow:-

1 liter of tap water
1 teaspoon of salt
1 teaspoon of salt

I've disposed the mixture of my first attempt. Now my second attempt, after
28 hours
The eggs are all "open up" and with tiny crystal like stuff again. The
whole mixture are still
brownish and unlike the orange colored as publish on many website.

What I've done could have went wrong.
