I'm getting more Sea Monkey supplies because the second on died today. I started them 130+ days ago. These aren't going back to cyst to hatch in better conditions. They just don't last forever. I'm afraid the rest might go over the next month, so I'll need to start new ones. Also going to try Aqua Dragons, which are a varient of the same species of brine shrimp.
There have been days when I got out of bed because I needed to pump air for them and add to the video diary. Then I might as well start the day since I'm up.
Many things bring me joy, but they do it even on days when nothing else does. I never expected to be raising brine shrimp for mental health, but it seems to work for me.
