I had just gotten LIVE sea monkeys from a pet store and although not hatched from eggs, i’m pretty sure they’re either sea monkeys or brine shrimp. Anyway..
1. Will they survive on small food items like guppy food?
2. I read that they do not require any cleaning of the tank since its an ecosystem type of thing, but won’t their feces produce the toxic ammonia?
And can anyone verify this particular species of sea monkey?

I bought brine shrimp in the pet store. They were sold as feeders. How much salt do I put in a gallon of water??
I have not bought the sea monkey set… I bought only the sea monkey so how do you take care of it.
Not using it as feeders!!!

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!

I have posted about this before. I went to the pet store today and they told me they fed my indian dwarf puffers frozen brine shrimp. Ive been trying to feed them that for several days. They will not eat it. I got one to try it and it spit it out so im not sure if it ate any of it or just spit it all out, but one still has not eaten and its been 5 days. Ive tried frozen brine shrimp, shrimp pellets, flake food, I also put a snail in there about 2 days ago and they have had no interest in it and the snail is still alive and moving. I went today and bought frozen bloodworms to try that and they have been very lathargic and didnt want anything to do with the bloodworms either. I tested the water and the ammonia levels are perfect. So dont know what to do now. Please anyone with some good information help me.
