Hello rainbowfish folk,

I have been using a product, Kent Marine Liquid Calcium, which is
basically deionized water and calcium chloride. It's advertised as
having "bio-available" calcium. I have a
couple of questions about it:

1) can baby brine shrimp (once they have past the instar-2 stage and have
developed mouths) absorb this stuff?

2) I soaked some Hikari baby pellets with the calcium chloride solution,
and my juveline parkinsoni ate it up. Is the calcium available to them and
is it good for them?

Thanks.
