24 hours ago my daughters seamonkeys had something added to the water?

Posted on November 6, 2011 by admin| 3 Comments

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?

question about sea monkey water?

Posted on September 6, 2011 by admin| 4 Comments

I bought some sea monkeys for my daughter (well…and me cause I love those stupid things lol) and put the water purifier in, but this morning I spilled it.
Can I just use distilled water or something? I know that if I let tap water sit for a couple days it’s ok, but I don’t want to wait that long. I was looking forward to hatching them tonight!
What kind of water would be best?
Crap…does the water purifer have the salt in it?? I thought that came in the eggs.
Dang it…HELP!

Allergic to Dwarf Frog food, frozen blood worms… Now what?

Posted on January 22, 2011 by admin| 3 Comments

My daughter has one of those tiny dwarf frogs in her aquarium. She’s had him for about 4 years now, and he eats (thawed) frozen blood worms every other day from a brine shrimp net. For the first several years that we had him, I was the one who fed him, and I developed a horrible allergy to the blood worms. It severely affects my eyes and makes me extremely congested. So my daughter took over feeding the frog, but now she’s getting allergic reactions as well. It makes her skin break out and affects her breathing. It’s probably not safe for us to keep this frog, but we feel sorry for him. He’s used to our tank and our feeding methods… What are our options? Would a pet store take him back? Would that be cruel of us to try to find him a new home? What’s your advice? Thanks!
