So upset 💔
Hi everyone.
I posted a few days ago about one of my sea monkeys that had a black horn, or it was on the end when I posted, then the whole thing turned black and he passed away a day later 💔
I bought a refractometer and the salinity in both tanks was perfect, so I assumed something had happened to the poor little guy. But over the last 2/3 days I have noticed more of the adults have passed away 💔 none of them had any black spots, and now today I have woken up and all are dead in both tanks, except for 1 adult in each and some tiny babies in my original tank 💔 I'm so upset. I feed them only once or twice a week, and I have an air stone I use daily for about 20-30 seconds in each tank.
The only thing I can think is that I had to use flea spray on the carpets two days ago (thanks to my cats and very hot weather, and I've never had to do that before) but I saw some on there and didn't want any in my house. I read that it is very toxic to aquatic life, so I moved both tanks into the bathroom all night and most of the next morning, before putting them back on the bedroom windowsill.
I moved the air stone out too, but I am gutted to think somehow this stuff got in and that I caused all my little babies harm 💔💔 nothing was sprayed near them, but something has happened to lose all of them like this 😓
There is one in each tank swimming around right now, and some little babies in my original tank, but I know I am likely to lose them soon 😓 I was really careful not to spray with them in the room, but I don't know if somehow it got in despite my efforts and I feel so sad.
