I was trying to cultivate sea monkeys but forgot to feed them. When I rechecked there were only two babies and then only one. I left it as a failed batch in the middle of December and went on vacation. When I returned, my wife noticed that the tank was filled with sea monkeys and they some were huge. How did they survive if nobody fed them in three weeks?

hi I just got a sea monkey kit and right now it is 10:59 E.S.P and at 5:00pm I have to put in the live eggs then I dont have to feed them till the 22nd but I leave for vacation that day! and then it says to feed them every 2 days but I dont want to put extra work on the person watching my doggs and other pets what do i do is there away they can be fed when im gone? please answer!!!!!
I have a 20 gallon saltwater tank with a clown fish and 2 damsels. I live in a dorm and they are kicking us out from Friday the 21st until Sunday the 30th for Thanksgiving break. I went to the fish store where I bought my fish and i thought you could put like a 10 day or 7 day dissolving tablet so they can eat, but the guy said they wont work in saltwater. So thats my first problem. My other problem is that he has me feeding them Brine Shrimp so they arent “used” to flake food. My mother seems to think there is something you can put in the water. Shes calling it a “pill” but i told her there isnt anything. And if there is, its not for sale around where I live. What do you guys suggest I do? is there actually a pill or something thatll dissolve that i can put in there? Thanks
What does doing the water change before/after i leave and come back do for the fish?

I’m going to Europe for two weeks which means i’d have to leave my fishies alone.. well not really alone, cause my mom is gonna be there.. but my mom fails at fish.
Cleanliness wise, i was gonna do a major clean before i leave and then clean when i get backa nd hope my tank doesn’t get too bad. But for food i don’t know what to do. I have Dwarf puffers and they are soooo picky. They will not eat flake or pellet food, and only one will eat brine shrimp and tubifex worms while the other will eat only worms and sometimes rarly a flake.. but usually spits em out.
I would like to trust my mom with the food but idk if i can.. so is there any way to keep my fish fed for two weeks? like live food?
