Here's some pics, sorry for the crappy pics.

Nice! They really are small!

Thanks! They are about the size of a large Pogonomyrmex worker. Apparently Adult female sea monkeys grow to about the size of a Camponotus Castenuas queen.

I'm glad to hear the mix is working out for you.  I had to figure that out because they only send a small amount of chemical to treat the water you put the eggs in.  As they grow, you need to give them more room, more water, so I needed to be able to make more of the right mixture.  Is there any algae growing in your aquariums, or do they keep them scoured clean?

 

I look forward to hearing about your Triops experience.


My father always said I had ants in my pants.
