Sea monkies Anonymous
So I got the little kit for Christmas (unfortunately, it was my coolest present..), and I hatched my monkies.

They're getting pretty big now. The biggest one has developed some lumps on its back, though. Big bumps.

Is this normal? What is it...? Is it pregnant or something?

Dat is.

Any thoughts? I'm not horribly worried about it, but I just want to make sure my awesomely large shrimpy isn't going to die.

It is scoliosis, you might want to see a chiropractor.

sea monkies + semen = seaciety

It's normal, all monkies go through that. It's probably the dominant male monky. In a few weeks the bumps will go down on its back and its back will turn silver (hence the term "silverback"). Then it will start beating its chest and scaring away all the other male monkies.

BTW, you might need a bigger tank soon.

This is artemia + eggsack.
If it is similar to yours, you know what it is.

Take it to see a vet. Tell a vet that you seriously want him to do a check up on your brine shrimp.

Do it.

DO IT.

I always wondered what Seamonkies actually were...

So they're just brine shrimp? How the fuck does a shrimp look like a godamned monkey?

Bleeeeh Triops are disgusting once fully grown.
Fascination animals, especially due to their encysted Embryos being able to live for years without water or anything, but still a disgusting pet ;-)

Fuck yo' couch. I believe Triops are awesome. They always end up eating each other til' there's one 2-3 Alphas left. THEY EVEN HAD BABIES ONCE, AND THE BABIES ATE THEIR PARENTS. HARDCORE CRUSTACEANS.

Triops are awesome. They get pretty big and it's fun to toss screaming little daphnia into their tank.
