so…anyone keep these little critters?
How do you keep them?
are they good to feed fish?July 29, 2008 at 7:19 pm #307848as far as i know, they are just a shrimp. i used to see them being sold as pets in markets.lol.
they indeed can be used as a food, but be very expensive as i think you only get a handful of eggs in a pack.July 29, 2008 at 7:29 pm #307849I always thought they were regular brine shrimp, Artemia naupli?
July 29, 2008 at 7:56 pm #307851no Jar they’re not the same thing…wonder if they’re easy to breed and keep, might get a couple for free and was thinking more food for my bettas
July 29, 2008 at 10:03 pm #307859i do believe you keep them in marine water, they need a specialist food, plankton and the like, but i’m told you can breed them, but haven’t done so myself.
July 29, 2008 at 11:24 pm #307860They told me u can keep them in freshwater? and they eat dried algae flakes or normal algae
July 30, 2008 at 12:57 am #307866Karlos buddy they definitely need salt. The “sea monkey” sets I’ve seen usually have salt contained in the pack with the eggs of the shrimp. Sea monkeys are apparently a cross-breed between Artemia salina and an unknown species and a lot of people refer to them as Artemia salina x nyos (New York Ocean Science Laboratories). They grow bigger than the natural form. I think the most popular species we use to feed fish is Artemia salina as well although I’m not 100% on that. These buggers were around with the dinosaurs by the way, quite interesting.
