brine shrimp
Doing my own BBS for my baby clown fish. Just went to my local fish store to buy the which were about $5. Since I'm only using a half tsp at a time I'm wondering were you store the remaining eggs until your ready to use them. The eggs I bought come in a little jar some what like this.

Just keep them tightly sealed and away from extreme humidity, they'll last forever.

I've always ordered mine from Brine Shrimp Direct. Way better price and quality than the small tubes. They recommend short term storage in the fridge and long term in the freezer.

I hatch them every day and have for decades, they last for 25 years or so, but I never kept them that long. I know there is no problem in 6 months to a year.

I just store mine in my fish room closet. Since yours came with a container with a screw on cap, I don't see why you would have any problem storing them as-is. They lasted millions of years already, I don't think a few months will hurt them.
