We followed the instructions on the starter kit, adding the purifier to the water, waiting 24 hours, then adding the sea monkey eggs.
They hatched nicely and there were loads flitting about there by the very next afternoon!
We waited 2 days, then fed the sea monkeys with the small end of the spoon, then waited another 2 days and fed them again.
We were a bit worried that there may be less now than a day ago, and the water was looking a bit cloudy, so I’ve just been online and found out it’s best to get them oxygen. I have just used a straw and blown into the tank for about 2 minutes.
I shall do this again every day.
The website that advised this, also says we should not have fed them for about 4 days after adding them because the egg sachet also contained food.
Should we hold off their 3rd feeding for another few days now? The water is looking a bit grubby and I don’t want to overfeed them.
I don’t want to have to buy a load of equipment from the official website if we can use things we have at home, or can get at a local petshop, what tips to you have to save money and keep our sea monkeys happy?
Edit:I got the "Blow though a straw" advice on good authority. The lady who’s website it is also has a book and years of experience. You don’t blow direct, you hold the air in your mouth first.
Where can I get the pump in the UK?
