‘Sea Monkeys Cupids Arrow Mating Powder’ ?

I’ve just read this:
‘add a small scoop of “Cupid’s Arrow” with a Sea Monkey feeding spoon. If you see a boy Sea Monkey ardently hug his girlfriend and hang on tightly, you’ll know it’s “working”. But if more than one Sea Monkey grabs the same girl, you used too much’

Is this real?

What on earth is in this ‘powder’?

My sea-monkeys might need a bigger tank so…?

Posted on August 31, 2010 by admin| 1 Comment

should I use my old 1.5 gal tank? I have about 1–20 already. I have ones pregnat, which means 40 more! Plus, I gave them Cupid’s Arrow (mating powder). That means even more! Plus i’m thinking about buying more eggs! So, should I stick with the sea-monkey tank, or should I just use my old 1.5 gal tank?
I can take the filter out. PLZ ANSWER MY OTHER SEA-MONKEY QUESTION

SeaMonkeys Trio – 1

Posted on August 21, 2010 by admin| 3 Comments

We just received our FedEx shipment of our SeaMonkeys from NiftyCoolToys in Utah. We mixed de-ionized/reverse-osmosis water of zero conductivity heated to 84F for use with the SeaMonkey 1-2-3-4 kit. We are going to try it using just a 100Watt incandescent bulb situated 12inches above the 3 SeaMonkeys sets to see if the hatch times are faster than using our waterbath method.

Today the temperature of the SeaMonkeys tanks which have been 12″ away from under a 100w incandescent bulb was ~78F. We are adding “packet 2″ which contains most of the eggs.

SeaMonkeys Trios – 6

Today is Day 10 after hatching. This is the day to add 3 large scoops from the “Plasma III” packet. This is a “formula booster” according to Transcience, designed to help more sea-monkey eggs hatch. Artemia nauplia hatch better as the solution becomes more salty (up to a certain point). Hatch rates also improve if you keep temps 25-30C, pH 8-8.5, and if you add certain chemicals like a low concentration of peroxide (h2O2) or xylene, or ethylether.
