Dont buy sea monekys where you get around a 100 max, just buy a pack of brine shrimp eggs, you get thousands, litrally.

No real nutritional value in brine shrimp. Unless there freshly hatches and still carrying the yolk sacks.

But the fish will love them anyway!

"Sea monkeys" - 'Artemia nyos' - are not your run-of-the-mill feeder brine shrimp; rather, they are an artificial "hybrid" (read "rigorously cross-bred") strain developed by the New York Ocean Science Laboratory, Inc. (the species designation is an acronym). See this link for a comparative chart [not exactly what one might call scientifically accurate, I must note] detailing the respective development times and lifespans of Artemia salina and "A. NYOS".

I dont think that I would feed them too my fish, Who knows what they have done to them?!? I would get some eggs, and hatch some your self. Its really easy. BTW, you have a bad link.

You can look on ebay for brine shrimp eggs. I've found some good deals there.

But on the package's picture they are wearing little crowns, won't those get stuck in the fish's throats?
