Anyone have sea monkeys, I have some questions?

Posted on February 22, 2012 by admin| 1 Comment

I’ve had sea monkeys since May of this year. They have all died except for 4 of them. Two males and two females. They have finally reproduced, but I am afraid they will not live long because the tank is filthy! It has algae growing in the corners and is almost impossible to clean without a toothbrush. I was wondering if there was a safe way for me to move them into a bigger tank. I was thinking a round fish bowl? I just didn’t know if I would have to put in more plasma 3 or not becuase I was adding more water. I need some advice!

can i feed my sea monkeys/brine shrimp yeast and algae liquid mixed together?

Posted on February 13, 2012 by admin| 1 Comment

hey ummm i just hatched some sea monkeys and i wana feed them so i heard that when you put lettuce in a jar on a window sill it turns into algae. its been 2 days and its turned into a yellow brown-green colour and i just wanted to ask if this is safe to feed them.

and also i have some yeast here in my room but the yeast itself is like little balls that are too big to feed to the sea monkeys should i crush the yeast so they can eat it?? or will it just dissolve into the tank water… and 1 more thing if the algae is good for them to eat can i mix the algae liquid with the yeast to make a kinda liquid sea monkey food?

thanks :)

I bought them from wal-mart and brought them home.I put the purifier in but I just couldn’t wait 24 hours so put half of the eggs in that same day.the next day when I got home the sea monkeys had hatched so I put hte rest of the eggs in.6 days later i put the food in.some of the monkeys weren’t even moving.A couple of days later i didn’t see any monkeys.I thought the algae were the monkeys until i looked on the internet and saw what they looked like.There is nothing in my tank but green goowy stuff at the bottom.When i filled the tank up the first time i used bottled water but when the water level droped i used faucet water.But that was after the monkeys disappeared.Whats going on?
add an I after “SO in the second sentence

Sea monkeys?

If I can grow enough algae in the bottom of my tank will i not have to airate their tank anymore and not feed them as often. The algae covers half of the bottom of the tank about a half inch thick. I airate them once a day and they seem to be fine.

Can I cultivate Algae from sea monkey food?

Posted on September 14, 2011 by admin| 1 Comment

My sea monkeys died and I don’t want to get any more for a while, I want to cultivate the algae in the food (for no reason, just curiosity) I have the whole packet of algae in the water under a florescent bulb with a bubbler in there… I have the tiny tank tool and a peice of stocking in there to begin the culture, will it grow???
Thanks, I don’t know if the algae will grow because I used a little bit of miracle grow in the water I used to add to the tank (after the monkeys died, they died from low temps) Right now I think the algae cultures haw enough air, because they are in a 20 ounce bottle with a 5 gallon aquarium air pump, I am concerned about light, though, The water is really dark, but I have it right under the light…. I don’t know why I am growing it, I can’t put any animals in it to eat the algae, since they are growing in a small amount of miracle grow.
