I got them about a month and a half ago. I went with the small “Sea Monkeys in the City” tank. They’ve got quite big now, but their water is low and I think many of them may be pregnant…they have these little sacks or something attatched to their mid-sections. What do I do? Can I just use regular water–I don’t have any of that powder that I put in the water with the kit. How do I take care of them now? Do they need a bigger tank? Help?!?
I bought them from wal-mart and brought them home.I put the purifier in but I just couldn’t wait 24 hours so put half of the eggs in that same day.the next day when I got home the sea monkeys had hatched so I put hte rest of the eggs in.6 days later i put the food in.some of the monkeys weren’t even moving.A couple of days later i didn’t see any monkeys.I thought the algae were the monkeys until i looked on the internet and saw what they looked like.There is nothing in my tank but green goowy stuff at the bottom.When i filled the tank up the first time i used bottled water but when the water level droped i used faucet water.But that was after the monkeys disappeared.Whats going on?
add an I after “SO in the second sentence

the first one is do sea monkeys normally mate.my second question is is it okay if i have a 60 watt light bulb 3 and a half inches away from the sea monkey water just to warm it up and for a few hours P.S. the sea monkeys arent hatched i just have the eggs in.

If I can grow enough algae in the bottom of my tank will i not have to airate their tank anymore and not feed them as often. The algae covers half of the bottom of the tank about a half inch thick. I airate them once a day and they seem to be fine.
I bought some frozen baby brine shrimp but on the way home they thawed out in the car. Why is it bad to feed it if it is refrozen? I was stuck in traffic for and hour and a half and I don’t want to have to throw it away because of it….Stupid thing was $8!!
Awesome thanks!
