Here's some pics, sorry for the crappy pics.

Nice! They really are small!

Thanks! They are about the size of a large Pogonomyrmex worker. Apparently Adult female sea monkeys grow to about the size of a Camponotus Castenuas queen.

Is it just me that likes the look of ant brood? It just reminds of you how well an ant colony is doing.

I'm glad to hear the mix is working out for you.  I had to figure that out because they only send a small amount of chemical to treat the water you put the eggs in.  As they grow, you need to give them more room, more water, so I needed to be able to make more of the right mixture.  Is there any algae growing in your aquariums, or do they keep them scoured clean?

 

I look forward to hearing about your Triops experience.


My father always said I had ants in my pants.
