Tips & Warnings
If the water is still cloudy or becomes cloudy soon after you change it, stop feeding the Sea Monkeys for a little while, suggests SeaMonkeyWorship.com. This will encourage the monkeys to eat the algae that is likely causing the cloudiness. If their body color becomes pale, start feeding them again, although sparingly.
According to Sea-Monkey.com, Sea-Monkeys are a hybrid of brine shrimp that have been developed by years of cross breeding. Sea-Monkeys can live about two years, if they are taken care of properly. They will constantly reproduce and continue the life cycle.
Changing the water may kill baby Sea-Monkeys,as the process eliminates some of the brown algae and brown diatom that sustains them. Therefore, only change the water sparingly, and do so with caution.
