Confused [*-)] Is this normal?
Reply Quote
Tank has lots of white "stuff" settled at the bottom. Some black dots too. When I stir the water all this stuff starts floating around everywhere.Can someone tell me what it is? Also, long white sringy looking stuff is hanging off some of sm tails. Is this normal? The sea monkeys are getting bigger, and there are a lot of babies, but this is my 1st time raising them, and I'm clueless as to how to do it:)

If they are getting bigger and there are a lot of babies (larvae) then your tank is doing fine. The stringy stuff from the butt end of their tails would be the excrement (it's gotta come out somewhere). But if it's white, it could be they are feeding on the white stuff in your tank.

The white stuff could be fungus which is normal and will go away with aeration and cleaning. Black dots could be eggs or dirt.

The Black dots could be Bacteria , In that case you Have to add one small scoop of Sea-medic
However in your case i don't think it's bacteria so it's just dust and sea-monkeys unhatched eggs mostly , You can always remove some of it By aqua lesh or a spoon , Just careful not to kill a sea-monkey ;)
