Well not sure if this is the right sub-forum but my question is

How long will brine shrimp survive in a cup of water without air stone or air pump?


I bought them yesterday around 8 PM, put them in a plastic dixie cup. I dumped them out into a net and dumped the murkey water out and put in new saltwater from my tank so they are in clean water now.. Will they survive in there say 9 hours or so? They have been in the cup overnight and only had a few die and I took them out...

I put them into a large tupperwear container with tank water some pyto and selcon and they last for 6-7 days.

I think they last awhile longer. What about those sea monkey kits? Those brine shrimp live for weeks and its just a vessel of water.
