How do I raise Sea Monkeys without buying from the company?
manualsearch asked:
So, I’ve had sea monkeys growing since Christmas. They’re pretty cool, not really a huge hassle… but my issue is that I don’t want to have to spend three dollars or whatever for that TINY little packet of food.
So, I’ve had sea monkeys growing since Christmas. They’re pretty cool, not really a huge hassle… but my issue is that I don’t want to have to spend three dollars or whatever for that TINY little packet of food.
So, what exactly is IN that food? I mean, there’s got to be something in it, right? What is it? I’m sure I could find a better way to get it, more for a cheaper price or something.
Anyway, what’s the purifier, too? As the water level drops, I have to replace it with bottled water, but… will that hurt them eventually? If I keep replacing it with bottled water, will they die from the water? Or do I need to find some purifier for a second tank, and then transplace the monkeys in that one? How do I make that water purifier?
Run down:
What is in the sea monkey food, and the sea monkey water purifier? How do I keep them living without having to pay the company way too much for tiny little pathetic-sized packets?

March 3, 2009 | 2:46 PMjust buy a bunch of packets that will last you a long time and then you won’t have to buy any. The bottled water shouldn’t hurt. It would probably be best to use distilled water (you can get a gallon bottle for like a dollar at any grocery store) or buy drops for it. I’m not quite sure what they are fed because they are so small. Add a tiny bit of salt to the water too but dont use table salt that will hurt. use sea salt or rock salt.

March 5, 2009 | 8:53 AMGo to any pet store and look for brine shrimp hatchery supplies. That’s ALL sea monkeys are - fish food.
They’re BRINE shrimp - which means they need very salty water.
My question is — unless you’re 10 years old, why are you keeping them as pets?
