This may sound wierd

Post by dolfanjack »

Has anyone ever watched their opae ula play and thought, these are what sea monkey's should of been rather then stupid brine shrimp. One can almost see them swim through hoops, with mermaid tails, and castles. Anyway, I can sit for hours watching them play. Jack

I do watch them for hours. Somehow, the fascination never ends.

I think both species have different sorts of appeals, but opae ula definitely make better display animals.

I have a tank of sea monkeys and I'm awaiting my first shipment of Opae Ula. From what I've seen, I think that they'll be a lot more interactive than the Sea Monkeys. Can Opae Ulas play with sea monkey toys? Has anyone tried this??

:-D You can still order Sea Monkeys and the extra packets on the Sea Monkey website... Not sure if that's of interest to you.
