Not to me it doesn't why are you adding salt into your tank?!
I don't think it is salt in the true sense of the word (sodium chloride) but there is no doubt that it has an effect on the chemical properties of the water. I just looked at the bottle and it says it contains Magnesium, Calcium and K whatever that is. It has an affect and changes the microsiemens - electrical conductivity of the water which is exactly the same thing that salt does if you add it to your water. When I used to breed discus the higher the microsiemens - electrical conductivity of the water the less chance there was of the eggs hatching. The salt / mineral would penetrate the membrane of the eggs and they would all go white and fluffy.

Could you suck some up with a turkey baster and zap them into a brakish nano tank?
I did actually try this once as an experiment but even when I used a fine sponge filter over the filter inlet pipe the little blighters still got sucked into the sponge and died very quickly. If I was going to do it again I would probably just use an air pump driven sponge filter and do larger water changes. A bit of trial and error

Feeding them would be difficult but I have used products for feeding the newly hatched brine shrimp for my baby discus which I think would do the trick.

Love this tank
Beautiful, riccia looks fantastic, how are you keeping it attached like that?
Cheers,

I tied all the Riccia on to the wood and redmoor roots using monofilament fishing line and used hairnets to tie it down on to the rocks. Once it adapts to growing underwater bits of it get stuck between the hairgrass and the Tennellus and it spreads. This way it stays under the water by itself and does not need tying down. It does not have any roots so to speak so it won't attach itself to anything.
Cheers,
