Bright red sea-monkeys?

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?

Brine Shrimp (Sea Monkeys) do they live in salt water of spring water.

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!!!

brine shrimp?

i got some brine shrimp from my pet store and was hoping to breed them for my fish do you need to put anything in normal tap water and wat do they eat.

Early signs for betta fin rot? [pics]?

I purchased my betta last week from a local pet store and also a nice square half gallon tank, (small I know but I live in a dorm lacking space) He seems to like it anyway.. His name is Narong, derived from the siamese language meaning “to make war” lol

He hasnt eaten hardly at all since I brought him to the dorm, but I think it may be an issue of the room temp water. I have just recently purchased a small heater and two kinds of foods (brine shrimp, and bloodworms) but they will be arriving in 3-5 days. Hopefully this will help him start eating…

But my real question is does he show early signs for fin rot? I have been noticing small black dots on the ends of his fin extensions and some back fin damage that was there when I first brought him home. Take a look for yourself.
