Can I cultivate Algae from sea monkey food?

My sea monkeys died and I don’t want to get any more for a while, I want to cultivate the algae in the food (for no reason, just curiosity) I have the whole packet of algae in the water under a florescent bulb with a bubbler in there… I have the tiny tank tool and a peice of stocking in there to begin the culture, will it grow???
Thanks, I don’t know if the algae will grow because I used a little bit of miracle grow in the water I used to add to the tank (after the monkeys died, they died from low temps) Right now I think the algae cultures haw enough air, because they are in a 20 ounce bottle with a 5 gallon aquarium air pump, I am concerned about light, though, The water is really dark, but I have it right under the light…. I don’t know why I am growing it, I can’t put any animals in it to eat the algae, since they are growing in a small amount of miracle grow.

ive had a female bettafish for about 3 weeks and she wont get fat?

Can I own a male and female red claw crab in the same tank?

Okay so i have a 2.5 gallon tank. I know male red claw crabs are very territorial, but will a male and female get along? Also, the fish store said that the reason the crabs don’t fight in the tanks that are in the store is because there is soooo many that it actually offsets them being territorial. So can I get like 4 or 5 in the 2.5 gallon tank or will it be a blood bath? I want more than one, so hopefully i can get a male and female, but if a male is too territorial, can i get more to offset it?

Also, if i can squeeze another question in- am i able to raise brine shrimp in the tank so that they have a constant supply of food or will that not work out? Thanks.

How long will betta fry live if they are not eating?

I have betta fry it has been 7 days since they hatched. There is about 50. They are swimming around and seem to be doing really well. The reason I ask how long they will live if not feed is – I only have frozen baby brine shrimp, the reason for this is the girl who works in the fish shop I go to said they would eat it no problems, she has always given me good advise, but when I was doing my research before breeding everyone said I should have live food like microworms or brine shrimp etc. The fish seem to be growing well, it is hard for me to see if there stomachs are full or not. I would like to know if they would be dead by now if they were not eating. I also did the boiled egg thing yesterday and gave them one feed of that.
