I hope you are not referring to hatchable cysts. Do not feed unhatched cysts
unless they have been decapsulated. The shells will cause intestinal blockage and
the fish will die a painful death as well as the unhatched cysts decomposing and
fouling the water. The decapsulated eggs will be an orange color like newly
hatched brine are in the first 24 hours, not grey or brown.

My 2 cents,

Tim
