The Great Sea-Monkey Project

Plasma Day!

In the end, I did feed them half a small scoop of food on the fifth day, but nothing interesting happened so I didn't write about it. Most of the food floated on the surface until I aerated. The monkeys didn't seem too interested.

They are now officially nine days and 20 hours old, but I added their first serving of plasma anyway - three big level scoops. Most of the monkeys immediately developed 'tails' of poo. Anyway, they seem a bit perkier now, so I think the plasma is doing them good.

As I was aerating today, I noticed that I had some dead sea-monkeys on the bottom, but I suppose that is to be expected since the number of monkeys is now only about 30 or so. Poor monkeys. The dead ones are quite small though, less than 2 mm long, so I don't think I'm going to remove their corpses - it's too difficult to suck up something as small as that without taking out a lot of water as well.
