Brine shrimp are candy. Fish like to eat them, but they won't be healthy eating too much.

Mysis are different than brine. Mysis are a good choice for feeding, but always feed a variety of foods.
Freshly hatched brine and "enhanced" brine (fed high vitamin content) are better than normal frozen brine.

id say it may be a little tiny bit bettr to feed sea monkies cuz theyre alive and being frozen makes the brine lose some nutritional value

Seriously, is it safe to feed the packaged "sea monkeys" to your tank? I have often wondered...
I don't know if it's safe or not....

LOL! I fell for the comic book advertisements when I was a kid. Boy, was I disappointed when they didn't look like the picture!!!

No, I'm not the one that asked if you can feed them to your fish.

That was me...my daughter got some too..it even came with a "wrist aquarium" so she can wear them to school! :scared: She's 12 and wouldn't be caught dead with it!
And I guess it was more a rhetorical question, following up bill109's.
They come packaged with water purifier, live eggs (as opposed to dead eggs?) and growth food. I don't know if there is salt in the water purifier mixture or not.
I'm going to quote this package, it's quite entertaining! It says:
"Don't ever be lonely again! Just gently squirt them to your Wrist Aquarium (that's a trademark, BTW) and you are set to share your adventures with them--for up to 18 hours. Introduce your pets that date back to the Jurassic Period to your friends. Amaze them with facts like they breathe though their feet and they're born with one eye but then grow two more!"
Charming attributes in any pet, eh? I wonder what happens when that 18 hours is up :thinking:

My daughter is 11, and she would freak if she thought she had to wear a wrist aquarium!

Who are they marketing those to? Anybody that straps brine shrimp to their wrist to not be lonely has a serious problem.
You guys probably aren't old enough to remember these (this was the late 60's) but they used to make platform shoes with live goldfish in the heels. Groovy.
(sorry alyssia, my a.d.d. must have kicked in

Yes..I agree! At 11 and 12, I know of at least two people who do not have a serious problem! Out of the (honest and instinctive) mouths of babes....Children are incredibly insightful, if we listen.
