RED SEA MONKEYS | How I changed the colour of my Brine Shrimp!
98,095
Published 2022-06-13
In this video I do a demonstration of how to feed your brine shrimp Haematococcus Pluvialis powder and how it's able to turn them red. Artemia are usually a green colour because of the microalgae they conusme, but by changing their food you can also change their colour. We look at a culture of algae under the microscope and see the phytoplankton up close.

Just got some astaxanthin powder and fed it to my sea monkeys on Mars. I love how it turns the water red. Very Mars like. I’m hoping to get babies now.
-
I'm a little relieved to learn that raising the second generation is a common problem! My tank only has about 8 adults left (1st generation) after six months, and was wondering why no babies ever appeared. Maybe I'll give this a shot! 😄
-
This would be perfect for the Mars tank
-
Thank you for this. I now feed my first two or three feedings with Astaxanthin powder and I have so many more babies make it to maturity than ever before! Thanks again
-
This is awesome , I always wanted sea monkeys as a child and did not know you could still purchase these. Definitely would be interested in watching a nursery set up. Great content thanks.
-
This is one of the best videos the algorithm has randomly led me to in a long time. Amazing stuff 👌🏽
-
I just got my shipment of astaxanthin powder! I am excited to try it out with my tanks. They are my first ones and not quite thriving yet, I’m hoping this will help! Thanks for the helpful research and suggestion 😊
-
How cool, that’s such an interesting find. Keep it up
-
I'm really interested in that video on culturing live microalgae to mimic their natural ecosystem and diet. I'd also like to see you unbox, use, and review that nursery!
-
just watched this and already ordered some :) thank you so much!
-
Awesome vid! Would love to see other ways on changing their colours!
-
I have ordered the sea monkeys and they will arrive today. I have also ordered a heat mat and a small oxygen pump. Sea Monkeys was something I always wanted as a kid. Now that I have watched your videos, I hope that I will be able to keep them. Thank you so much for your videos.

Having just set up my Aqua dragons tank, this was very interesting. I will try this out once my dragons are fully grown. Thank you.
-
I'm going to try this! I've just had some babies born, and sadly died, in the last week or so, and wondered why, as I was feeding them growth food, and oxygenating the tank daily. Now I know the adults were likely eating all the food first!
-
Love love love this video. I’ve been wanting to get back into sea monkeys but I wasn’t sure how to make sure my colony LASTS. I’ll try this.
-
Just wanted you to know that you inspired me to start my own colony! Just started my monkeys on mars tank!
-
I started feeding my Sea Monkeys this product a few months back when I saw your first post about it. They love it. Mine almost seek it out when I feed them with it 😀
-
great advice! thanks
-
So beautiful...

Hey John, loved the video by the way, i found some Blue Spirulina Powder online.... might be another great experiment for you to try? Would be really cool to see BLUE Seamonkeys!
