What if sea monkeys were actually the size the comic books depict?

What if sea monkeys were actually the size the comic books depict and they actually evolved enough to think for themselves and hated being entertainment for comic book reading kids and broke out of their fish bowls and aquariums and took over the world? But the apes from Planet of the Apes (which is actually earth apes) became jealous and didn’t want a sea monkey movie because that would be stupid so they killed all sea monkeys and everything went back to normal. Wouldn’t that be odd? What if they kept a couple of sea monkeys alive in a fish bowl jail just for the sake of a sequal?

Don’t you think it’s wrong that brine shrimp are sold at toy stores?

I mean, sure, they’re tiny, but they have rights too! They sell the eggs as well as small aquariums and food for a couple of months at pet stores. My brother once bought a set of them at Target (he’s nine.) He thought they were really cool for a couple of days, then he got bored and they were left to die. It’s just not right. Smaller kids can’t be expected to hold the responsibility for any pet alone.
I meant toy stores, not pet stores…
Just because there’s a lot of them doesn’t mean that they can be allowed to die. There’s a lot of dogs. Why don’t I just take yours and starve it to death?

My aquarium fish look like they are starving?

My one aquarium of platies (also called moons) are dieing and I don’t know what it is from. I get them and they are healthy looking with no normal signs of being sick or stressed. They have the rounded bellies (like platies have), but after a couple weeks their bellies get flat looking and when I see that, they die within a day or two. I have had fish and aquariums for years, but have never seen this. I have done several treatments of binox (broad spectrum for illness) and also had done several treatments for external and internal parasites. But they contiue to look like they are just waisting away. I feed them good quality flake food, vegetable base foods, frozen brine shrimp, frozen blood worms, and frozen tubafex worms. Also put in fresh veggies for them to eat. I give them a well varied seletion of foods. My ph and ammonia levels are fine,as is all the other levels for a good healthy aquarium. Anyone have any idea what is happening? How to stop it?
