Sea Monkey Food gone bad (?) causing possible deaths

In the space of an hour my fiancé and I have lost two sea monkey tanks and our best guess is its due to their food - it is sealed in a small jar that hasn't had any detergent or other chemicals in it. The food has got balls of stuck together food in it, which it seems to always do despite how we store it (airtight, in the dark). We have thrown away a lot of sea monkey food previously due to this. We feed them earlier as we always do and suddenly within an hour two tanks are gone, and the other tanks have sea monkeys that are struggling. Has anyone else experienced this? We are devastated and desperately trying to figure out what has gone wrong. Up until now there have been no problems - they have been breeding and babies have been hatching without issue.

How can I increase salt and water intake without feeling so nauseous and having an upset stomach? 😭

If anyone has good suggestions for electrolytes available in Australia please let me know too!! I am out of ideas on how to feel better without getting bad side effects afterwards.

Seahorses in deplorable conditions

Saw these poor fellas at a local (ish) pet store. I was HORRIFIED. Some old lady owned it and obviously knew nothing about fish or seahorses. She also had birds in tiny cages... yikes.

My 17yo cat Lucy REALLY wants a marshmallow (and a sip of hot chocolate) but it's not for kitties!

I'm drinking a hot chocolate and Lucy is demanding one too (she did not get one, but she got pats instead)

Is he cooked? What is wrong with him 😭

This sea monkey has been swimming in a C shape for almost 24 hours now. He will occasionally spasm into the normal swimming position but then immediately curls back up. Is he on his last legs?

I have four sea monkey tanks and have never seen this happen before. Is he injured?

Constant heart palpitations when relaxing/lying down

Hi everyone, I'm looking for any possible advice or ideas on how to lessen the constant heart palpitations I get when I'm lying down to go to sleep or am just relaxing. I can't sleep with my upper body too elevated due to having neck issues, but even when I have tried it, I didn't get a lot of relief. Does anyone have any thoughts or similar experiences, or am I the only one 😭

Thanks in advance ♡

Is my sea monkey pregnant??

My female sea monkey has tiny white balls inside her near her tail - they weren't there before. Do I have my first pregnant sea monkey?

Sorry for the shitty photo, she is still a small girl. You can just see the white balls.

Why are my younger sea monkeys dying? 😭

One by one my youngest sea monkeys are dying and I don't know why. Only my oldest ones are going strong. I only feed when the poop trails are gone or mostly gone, aerate the tank twice daily, sometimes a third time, they get sunlight, light from a desk lamp and also time in the dark.

It is winter so I am trying my best to regulate the temperature without a heater. I am purchasing one soon. My tank water never gets cloudy either. I used spring water.

Does anyone have any ideas, I'm getting a bit disappointed by all the losses. :(

I think about 6 have died now, possibly more.

Increased Activity With Bad Weather?

Does anyone else get a very dark, negative and malicious energy in their home during bad weather? Sometimes it doesn't happen, but last night at me and my husbands house we had heavy winds outside and saw black shadows moving. We are not spiritual people in the slightest and are not religious either and yet the energy in the house was so dark.

Is this a common thing?

Thanks in advance for sharing experiences.

So much dust in my tank!

How do I get all of the dust out of my tank 😭

I just ordered a long pipette to remove little hairs that my sea monkeys keep getting stuck in, but god the dust is just terrible. What can I do? The water is borderline polluted at this point. Help appreciated 🙏

Hi all, I just wanted to share an accomplishment I made thanks to my wonderful fiancé.

I have been struggling a LOT with waking the last few months but was so embarrassed to get a cane. I had completely ruled it out, and was just going to suffer instead. Being 21 and looking well on the outside, I thought I'd be judged.

But my fiancé has been so amazing and has given me the confidence I need to get one. I just ordered it today and it is a beautiful floral pattern.

I'm sending strength and confidence to anyone else experiencing this ❤️
