Some random update based on the 5+ months of the Exec Suite tank including the latest increased feeding schedule of most of the tanks, while using the lates version of the Check to avoid Overfeeding and the Check to avoid Starving.
This should apply, no matter how few, or how many Sea Monkeys/Aqua Dragons/Brine Shrimps; how young or how old; or how big the tank is.
- Check to reduce the chance of Overfeeding:
"Just have in mind for when they multiply, or they grow older, if you want to increase the feeding rate, is fine if the water gets a little cloudy, as long as it is clearer before the next scheduled feeding.
If it start to get murky (Meaning that the water is the same level or darker before the next feeding day) or starts to smell like swampy water or like rotten eggs then you need to reduce the frequency/quantity of the feeding."
- Check to reduce the chance of Starving:
"But you do not want the water pristine clear before you feed them again.
One way to confirm that you are feeding them enough, is a dark line in the back of the Sea Monkey/Aqua Dragon/Brine Shrimp.
The only thing, is that although the line should be always visible on the adults, the juveniles need to grow for a while, before you can see the line on their back.
But if you see a well defined pair of eyes, or you can see the ripple of their fins when swimming, then they have grown enough that you see the dark line on their back.
Also, if weeks or months go by, and there are only adults and babies, but you never see the babies growing to juveniles, you might want to increase the feeding rate, even if the adults have a dark line on their back.
Because they are filter feeders, the adults can eat larger pieces and the smallest micro pieces of food. But the babies and very young juveniles can only eat the smallest micro pieces of food that they can swim through in the water.
That is why you need to put more food in the water, even if the adults do not need it.
In addition, stirring the gunk from time to time helps to raise into the water column micro pieces of food that have settled at the bottom and increases the Aeration"
