sea monkey help?
wolf.viper asked:
I just sea monkeys and I read all the instructions. I put the water purifier in and now I am wondering; would it be alright if I put my sea monkeys in right now? I got the tank set up at 2:00. The instructions say after 24 hours, but I was wanting to put em in now.

I have had to make batches for my own fry and need them soon. What you can do is take a bottle of purified water, add some salt (preferable aquarium salt) and put your air stone within the jar or however the water is being airated, because of how forcibly the bubbles come from the airbubble I cover mine with clean pieces of pantyhose,it makes the bubbles come out finer. Let that sit about an hour and then take your eggs (aka brine shrimp eggs) and put them in, about 1/4 tablespoon per 8 oz of water. They should hatch around 22 hours. I’ve had a few hatch around 14 hours. But yes, unfortunately you have to be patient.
