Can I feed my fish Sea Monkey’s?

I have 3 Platys, an Albino Cory, and two fancy guppies. Can I feed them a few Sea Monkeys? Like the ones that you buy the little package of sea monkey’s, put them in water, and they hatch? They are usually used for kids to have some super tiny pets and not have to take care of them, but can I use them to feed my fish a treat?

I have baby platys, now what?

I have them in a breeding net. I have 10 of them. I am taking flaked food and dried brine shrimp and crumbling between my fingers.
How long will should they stay in the net, and when I do release them should I get some floating platic grass just in case?
I have a peacefull tank wiht various tetras and platys. I also have endlers which are very very tiny and have not been devoured by other fish.

New fish questions?

Okay, yesterday I got 3 scissortail rasboras. They are doing great. They were the only fish in a 55 gallon tank, perfect water conditions and a temperature of 75 degrees fahrenheit. I have an undergravel filter, plants, rocks, driftwood and gravel. Today I got 2 red platys and 1 pleco. We got the pleco algae wafers. I have a few feeding questions:

Can I feed both the platys and the rasboras tropical flakes, frozen peas and some iceberg lettuce (last two sparingly). Would the platys like brine shrimp like the rasboras?

Will the pleco be okay with the small fish as he gets older?

When should I start feeding the new fish?

Thank you so much!

my female guppy just got really skinny, I don’t see any babies and her gills are a little red. Is she sick?

I have had her for 10 days. She looked like she swallowed a pea. I was told she was pregnant. I don’t see any babies and now she is really skinny. I have fed brine shrimp to them. She wont eat and her gills look a little red. I am so worried can anyone help. She is in a tank with 2 platys 1 molly 1 gold fish a male guppy and a silverfin shark. If she did have babies would I have noticed? Or would the other fish eat them before I could see them?
