I am assuming at least someone in this forum has kept a sea monkey habitat at home right as a kid right? Tiny little weird fish that come out of pellets in water and they swim around, yeah?, those kind of guys. Look it up on google if you're omish. Alr I am going to order a kit of them on amazon tomrrow cuz why not? Also if someone is worried abt sea monkeys crossing state lines, its ok I have done my research. Feel free to comment. As well as if anyone would like to post a journal of their sea monkeys, you can post it here. Okedokey?

I only kept them for as long as it took my fish to eat them. They are a staple live fish food available in most aquarium supply stores.

I'm pretty sure they are brine shrimp

I had some a while ago, but it got too cold for them in my house and they died.

I can't explain it but I feel like the ant force has died down. I know many antkeepers that just don't keep ants anymore. I don't know just keep following this journal and let's see what happens with the sea monkeys.

Well that's because (imo) they don't the meaning of.... hey,why do we all love ants? i don't know why i do.It just came to me since i was 12.Anyway as i was saying,maybe they think it's wasting of time and have more important things to do.But let's keep the hobby going to maximum [also the forum].Thank you for lending me your eyes{i mean you use your eyes to read} my fellow ant-keepers.

It's off season for a LOT of anters and it is a forum.. Those two things alone are why it feels like that. Wait until people are out catching ants again.. This place will have more new journals, vlogs, pictures etc.

Also, what is there to document about Sea Monkeys? I'm genuinely curious, as I have only heard very little and have not observed them myself.

Do you have any plan for them in particular?

There's more to them than that gcsnelling, you could say the same thing about ants. Am I right or am I right? You could say ants are overpriced ants. My aunt told me I bought an ant and said overpriced ants. Soo for all we know bribe shrimp keeping may become a thing. Why don't u guys get some? Their like 5 or 10 dollars and there's many species of them,

I don'thave P. badius yet, however I plan on going insane when anting season starts and I will be blacklighting during the night and in the mornings while the sun is down.

Edit: I forgot to mention P. badius, at least I think, are day flyers. I will have to hunt them separately from my blacklighting queens.

I use the mobile website, not the app or the full browser website so that may have something to do with it
