Fairy Shrimp – Brine Shrimp – Sea Monkeys

Posts Tagged ‘problem’

Okay..so my friend and i are in charge of the class pet, sea monkeys. so that means, i am in charge because she hasn’t done a single thing so far. she did not do the research. she did not help me pay for them. she didn’t even stay to watch them hatch! her twin sister did. We are sopposed to feed them 5 days after they were hatched and that is Friday. I am gone on friday to leave for Chicago [Band Trip!!] and i put one of my other friends in charge of feeding it. Of course, she told my partner and she is mad at me. again. I am worried if she over feeds it because she is mad at me and she over feeds her betta. she thinks that “my fish is a fatty, i have to feed it 4 pellets a day” the packet only says to feed it 2. What should i do? feed them on thursday? Get someone else to do it? HELP!
Um..another thing is that my parents will not take care of them because 1. they are divorced and 2. my mom (who i live with) wont let me have any sort of pet what so ever.

I have a healthy female, which i have had for several several months, and an equally healthy male betta fish. She has a large tummy (eggs) so i am trying to breed them. the only problem, mr. big stuff makes bubble nests all the time but now he wont do it. I put a styra foam cup in there and … nothing. He’s in a 10 gallon aquarium……

so whats the problem. I have brine shrimp hatcheries ready to go for the baby’s.
the temp. is around 80 degrees

Whenever I test the ph in my aquarium, it’s always like 7.6-8.0, which seems awfully high. I can’t determine what is causing the problem. I do a weekly 40% water change. I vaccuum the gravel as best I can, but I don’t want to remove everything because otherwise my Cory won’t have anything to eat. I feed the fish every other day, either bloodworms, brine shrimp or Tetleys flake food.

My aquarium is a 6 gallon and I have 4 fish in there now and don’t plan to add any more. 1 female betta, 1 little albino cory and I added a couple little otos who help keep the algae in check. It’s a marineland system 6 that came with a pretty powerful filtration unit that seems to do a good job. I’ve also added an airstone and a heater and keep the temp pretty steady between 78 and 83 (it goes up a bit during the day). I have a couple plastic plants and some smooth gravel. Fish all seem happy and energetic.

Maybe my tapwater is just naturally alkaline? I do treat it before adding it to the tank.

My sea monkey just evolved into a sea man. It is starting to pollute the water around itself and will kill itself and its children in ignorance. It won’t acknowledge me, but I decided to save it at its last moments. Did I do good?
so not one of you even got the analogy of evolution’s dark destiny and God’s intervention? wow! no wonder society is, well, wack!

I have a tank with a blue jack dempsey and a “bla bla” cichlid (thats what they called it, i dont know if its the technical name) it has a lot of colors around his eyes. The problem is that they arent eating. I tried cichlid sticks and granules, i also tried brine shrimp but they arent eating much especially the jack dempsey…what should i do?
