How to clear windows in a tank

This current tank seems to be going 4 months strong with currently 4 members left and no new generation surviving...

But that aside, how can I clear the tank windows so I can see my little sea monkees more visibly? Does someone know how to squeegee the thing?

Are they too big?

Hi all, I am a complete and utter noob but my boyfriend put some more distilled water in it and it seemed ok? The tank was really low now they are huge and swimming lots but I’m not sure if you’re allowed top up the tank

Are they breeding or stuck🤔

One of my sea monkeys seem to have his mouth attached to another sea monkeys tail. I can’t tell if they are stuck or breeding . Sorry for the blurryness and shortness of the video they are fast asf

Can I Add New Eggs to An Already Existing Colony?

Hi! I have a standard Sea Monkey tank - they did very well and there is a beautiful layer of algae on the bottom of the tank but unfortunately, after 4 months of it absolutely brimming with life, this colony only has 3 last members swimming around. I noticed that after mating, the eggs that followed hatched but for some reason they didn’t survive past a few days of swimming around. I put an air pump in there daily for oxygenation and keep a grow light shining directly in the tank because it warms the water substantially and promotes algae growth, which there is quite a lot of. My question is: can I add a new packet of Sea Monkey eggs to this tank or should I start completely anew with a different tank? Any insight would be appreciated.

They survived!

Super happy, they're getting big now (almost teens I think?) and I'm happy with the current setup :3

I'm a lil worried that the old eggs could become a problem but no matter how many I suck out they still keep appearing in clumps at the corners

Is it possible to salvage eggs (cysts) from the tank, dry them, resubmerge and have them hatch?

Theoretically, could I use my pipette to suck up some of the sediment from the bottom of the tank (which, I assume, contains cysts, based on sighting black dots only), dry that out, then reintroduce to the tank and possibly have a hatching?

Ive brought a tank :)

I have a 21l tank off fb mp, and now i have reef salt? bubbler my friend sent me to get (he has sea monkeys for years) and a heater what came with tank.. Is this any good for brine shrimp and how do i know how much salt to put into distilled water (i have a lot of distilled 5L bottles lol) to make it correct, what’s a ratio for it? Salt to water confuses me as ive never owned fish before 😂

Going to start the sea monkey tank for a week til they grow then put them into the tank while it cycles itself & going to buy some brine shrimp eggs / aqua dragon egg kits maybe depending on if i use the reef salt or not..

Babies keep dying

Been going since Jan 1st, only a few adults left. I thought maybe it was too much algae or too cold. Only recently put a heater in but the little ones keep dying after a few days of appearing. The adults all lived a while and seemed healthy. Any thoughts?

Memorialising my original tank of at least 8 months ❤️

My original babies have been slowly dying over the last week so I’ve been thinking of their importance to me and the JOY they’ve brought me. They are so cute!

To the hordes of uneducated my breakneck flow tank of artemia demise

Sponge filters have an air stone in them and you can just use a limiter to make it functional

I think I added WAY too many eggs...

My 8yr old bought a kit from Walmart but unfortunately only a few hatched and immediately died (I suspect it was from her moving it constantly)

We bought some new eggs, I added what I thought was a small amount and well..... A LOT have hatched already.

WHAT DO I DO THERE'S LIKE....A HUNDRED

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.

The Micro Jar

50ml of Green Water, a sprinkle of rock salt and a dash of brine shrimp eggs.

Love watching these micro jars come to life.

Green water is the goat of colony starters.

Because people will ask this green water. https://ebay.us/m/QtbMYI

White algae?

My tanks have formed lots of stuff(?) at the bottom of my tanks and I’m wondering if it’s algae however it’s white. Do any of you know what it could be?
