Feeding Brine Shrimp to Angel Fry?

I am breeding angel fish, or tryng to.

I had a batch 2 weeks ago. Hached a weak batch of brine shrimp eggs, not enough hatch rate.

I dont know if I need to rinse the salt from the newly hatched brine shrim before feeding?

I left them with their parents. They all vanished. Did the parents eat them or did the salty shrimp kill them.

I would like to succeed next time. Help please. There were no other fish in the tank.

    I have been breeding Angel fish for the last 9 years i never leave the eggs or fry with the parents they will eat them they go into separate 20 gallon tanks i have 4 separate 20 gallon tanks for fry

    I use frozen brine shrimp i feed my fry the shrimp after they are a week old and can actually feed properly

    If you separate the eggs from the tank when they hatch the adult Angel fish wont eat them a Turkey baster is a great way of removing the eggs with out Damaging them
