Fairy Shrimp – Brine Shrimp – Sea Monkeys

Posts Tagged ‘frozen brine shrimp’

I’ve had my Siamese Fighter for nearly a week, and for the first few days he was fine and pretty active (was feeding him on dry flakes). Over the weekend I’ve fed him on frozen bloodworms and frozen brine shrimp (he’s also had a tiny amount of crushed peas. He loved the peas and the worms (not the shrimp though). Now though – he’s hiding all the time at the bottom/rear of the tank – what have I done wrong – what’s happening to him. Please help, as I’m a total novice @ this. Thanks guys.

I have a male betta for about 8 months now. Last weekend, my sister left the windows open and the temperature in the tank got down to about 65 degrees. He’s warmed back up now, but now he’s spitting out all ( or at least most ) of his food. I htought that maybe he was still too cold, so have bought a tank w/ a heater and he is in there. The transfer went ok and he seems to be enjoying the new habitat, but something is still obviously amiss as he still is spitting everything out. He was originally eating pellets, but I’ve tried both live brine shrimp and frozen brine shrimp with the same results. It is possible that he did swallow one or two brine shrimp, but this is a far cry from his previous appetite. Does anyone have any idea what his problem could be? His coloration is fine, and his entire demeanor seems unchanged, other than his appetite is gone. Its been over a week like this and I am very concerned. Please help.

i give them the same stuff as the store they came from did, flakes in the morning,frozen brine shrimp at night. they still wont eat! are they still nervous from the move? they arent being as amazing as everyone has said. im getting worried, i dangled it right infront of their noses please help!

Should I try something different or just wait and let time work.

also i recently got another dwarf frog (so that makes the 2) and after he was in the tank for a while i noticed a white little thread of something. is it the fungus or just some skin they shed? im putting the frozen brine shrimp in with fish flakes for them to eat .would that be ok. and after i added 3 more tetras and another african dwarf frog the tank has gotten much dirtier faster even w/ the filter what can i do.now i have 5 tetras and 2 dwarf frogs but should i get another tank or get rid of some. and lastly what if the frogs mate and how can i stop them?
and i’ve looked up info on them but could anybody give me some websites or good info?
ok yesterday one of the neon tetras got caught in a plant and died. so now would it be fine?
ok most of you were right. another fish died so now i have 3 tetras and 2 frogs but that should be fine. i cleaned out the tank and put in a new filter cartridge but the 2 that died were the new ones and maybe they were sick. Anyway they’re all healthy looking and have been fine. Please give a response and maybe a website i could visit to get more info.
