Where can i get them? How much do they cost? Do I have to clean their tank, feed them, if so how often? Would like as much info as possible.

Water quality was bad but after numerous water chanmges and a few changing of things it is almost perfect now, but he is still sick. I was feeding him only cichlid sticks, but now I am feeding him bloodworms some other kind of tropical fish food, and he occasionally gets a few brine shrimp when I am feeding the other fish. Please help me, if he does not get better soon, I will have to give him to the pet store.

Is it ok to chug a glass of sea monkeys?

Remember sea monkeys? Those cute little pink people with tails in their pictures of aquatic cities and jumping through hoops… turned out they were brine shrimp. X-Ray goggles with this picture of a mystified kid looking at his hand which was drawn as real bone? Just cruddy plastic lenses that made you see double… or even worse, more often than not just paper lenses with a swirly graphic on them and a tiny hole in the center! Don’t even get me started on the Charles Atlas dynamic tension workout system… “Just sit there and flex, and you’re ripped!”

How badly did you get ripped off as a kid?

Also, in Marvel comics from 1963-70, there were advertisements for a REAL LIVE MONKEY for just $19.95. Was this real, or just another horrible scam? 20 bucks was a LOT of money back then, especially for a kid! When a comic or a loaf of bread was 10 cents and a dollar could get you groceries for a week, it seems pretty criminal!

The only good deal I got was on fake dog poop!

OK What exactly is a sea monkey?
