My 8 year old daughter had a friend round and they were mucking about – my daughter denies all knowledge but the water in the seamonkey tank is higher and it smells of PERFUME! the sea monkeys were swimming frantically yesterday – today they seem ok although the water is cloudier than usual. I’m guessing that if they didn’t die yet they may survive? Any ideas/advice? I have thought about getting some more ‘purifier’ and just starting again (rescuing the surviving monkeys and putting them in the new water) what do you think? worth doing?
(poor little critters!)
Do I need to use the purifier? or will ordinary salt do? does anyone know the quantities of each?
No reason you cant set them up in new salt water.
Well that would be my plan if that happened in a normal fish tank.

I would use the purifier that normally comes with the sea monkeys as this would help to create the perfect living environment for them.
Goodluck

I wouldn’t bother with trying to save them if te water was polluted with perfume.
Best to just start it over it again, just buy a vial of brine shrimp from the pet store.
But if your the kind of mom who replaces a pet similar to the one that has died, start a seperate container of sea monkeys, when they are the same size as the one in the perfume tank. Switch waters and move the seamonkeys, after throughly cleaning out the perfume tank.
