pen_gruntI bet you all are wondering how the intrepid little Sea-Monkeys atop my filing cabinet are doing...
No?
Well, I'm going to tell you anyway.
They're mostly doing just fine. They're now about 1/3 of an inch long and have a strange tendency to swim upside-down (or maybe my Sea-Monkeys are just "special" in that short bus kinda way...). I went from having DOZENS of little tiny Sea-Monkeys to having about 7 full-grown adult Sea-Monkeys. I'm not sure where all the babies went...I discovered no bodies, and the remaining don't seem to have that "I just ate my brother" look in their eyes.
I have a Sea-Monkey grave yard beside their tank. There are exactly seven dead critters that, upon death, look like little pressed fossil-critters. It's kinda neat. A tad creepy to keep dead animals on your cabinet, but still kinda neat.
They've also started...eehhem...being amorous with each other, resulting in several fat, bloated Sea-Monkeys (which look just like regular Sea-Monkeys, but with funny brown testicles). In a few days, these Sea-Monkeys explode in a neat kind of way and leave their eggs all over the tank. No new babies yet.
