I was trying to cultivate sea monkeys but forgot to feed them. When I rechecked there were only two babies and then only one. I left it as a failed batch in the middle of December and went on vacation. When I returned, my wife noticed that the tank was filled with sea monkeys and they some were huge. How did they survive if nobody fed them in three weeks?

So there I was .. Had my hatchery all set up, had the eggs ready, the fry were hungry and waiting, and them Bam! when I got home from work the eggs had hactched. What all of the dozens of sites explaining brine shrimp forgot to mention was that a small batch, (1/8 – 1/4 of a teaspoon) = Like a Bazillion A** brine shrimp. I Just wanted to throw that out there. Make sure anyone setting up for the first time knew. I mean, the fish are happy, my platy’s are gorging themselves on brine shrimp, they love it. To say all end all I guess, Just be very careful when deciding how many eggs to throw into a batch.
and then the crystals appeared, and I added water again and its taken about 8 weeks and at last I have 1 sea monkey, but thats all. . .will it have to be a celibate sea monkey?What should I do now, get some more and add Mr Lonely to another new batch?

I have Fry (finally…2 attempts)…now…I have small fry food, and research says to feed them this from 2-5 days…can I feed longer?…also says to feed microworms 5-9 days or so…can I feed the small fry food for a few days longer then start feeding Baby Brine Shrimp (frozen…tried to hatch, but I am not good at that…lost whole batch!)?
All suggestions will be appreciated!
The fry were spawned on Thursday morning and hatched on Friday…removed Dad Sunday…I think he may have eaten some of the fry…that is why I removed him….Fry are doing good this morning!
