Animal experts....?
Hi everyone...a good idea just posted by tweed (ha ha, blaming this one on
you!!) As we all love to help, share our knowledge etc here, and aren't phobic about people mentioning AOTC (animals other than cats) would everyone who has experience with animals other than cats add onto the list their name and list of animals they know about? That way if any of us aquires/has a problem with a new animal, we know someone to ask. As for some of us, access to animal newsgroups are limited (I can only find cats, dogs and guinea pigs inhabiting mine) it would be great to have someone to ask!And for how this got started, please refer to the post '*sigh*Pearl... Well, here goes..... meee; goats (there you go tweed!), guinea pigs,parrots, chickens, spiders (don't ask) -- There are many intelligent species in the Universe. They are all owned by cats. Anonymous One cat just leads to another. -Ernest Hemingway |

Uh, do sea monkeys count? I am the designated caretaker of the office
sea monkey tank. (I've actually also raised regular brine shrimp to the breeding state when I had a tank of reproducing guppies.) |

Aaah, I had a suspicion that would be the case...i remember i looked them up in a book or something, then wondered how the hell they'd managed to get brine shrimp to do tricks? still wondering....it said so on the box, so it must be true... :^) -- Victor M.

Yep--sea monkeys are, in fact, a species o' brine shrimp (artemia NYOS)
specifically bred to withstand the rigors of attentions (or inattention as may be the case) of their target market--children. Other than that they are pretty much like the wild brine shrimp I've raised to feed my fish. The "trick" referred to on the packaging just refers to getting the shrimp to swim in a certain direction in the tank. The shrimps' principal food source in nature is algae which flourishes in bright light. The shrimp are "programmed" to move in the direction of the food source by following light (phototaxis). More than you really wanted to know, isn't it? :-) Gennie |
