Fairy Shrimp – Brine Shrimp – Sea Monkeys

Posts Tagged ‘few days’

I’ve just bought the bulldog discus home a few days ago.
I don’t know what’s wrong with my bulldog discus; he seems to be bumping into things when he’s swimming. It looks as though he can’t see what’s in front of him.

Do you know what’s wrong with my discus? What can I do help him?

I posted a question a few days ago about my angelfish (marble angels) and I said they had laid eggs and now all of the eggs are gone (they ate them) none hatched. Well there are these weird off white “things” alive and swimming around in my tank. At first they looked like lice? They are so tiny its hard to really tell what they are even with a magnifying glass. Well now they are taking the form of something that looks like a tiny tiny inch worm. (Again, very hard to tell even with a magnifying glass) They are crawling around on the glass, and the other form (looks like lice) swim around in the tank. One person said maybe it is a “Hydra”? i’m not sure since its hard to tell what these things in my tank look like. If they are Hydra, I thought someone said you had to have brine shrimp to cause this and I dont have any. ANY THOUGHTS WOULD BE HELPFUL.. Other than that I’m gonna try to kill the beasties before something happens to my fish who seem clueless.

my guppies arnt used to brackish water and i want to make it brackish cause i heard htey like that better, how long should it take to get them accostomed to it and also in brackish water could i just put enough brine shrimp for a few days for the to eat because my bro will probably forget to feed them. Will the brine shrimp live long enough?
oh and are there any bottom suckers that can be in brackish water?

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!

My boyfriend and I just bought these sexy shrimp online a few days ago. They are pretty cool but they are A LOT smaller then I thought they’d be. Right now we have them in a catch cup with a piece of rock but we want to know if they’d survive if we let them out.

We have two blue yellow tail damsels, a domino damsel, a 4 stripe damsel, a ocellaris clownfish, a clown fairy wrasse, a snowflake eel, a serpant starfish, a cleaner shrimp and a Condylactis Anemone.
