My mother-in-law (no fishtanks) grows these "sea monkeys". She asked me if I liked them and I said no, but my bettas sure would! :wink:

Weren't the seadragons the picture of the month in December?

Not only is it illegal, but no one has succesfully been able to breed these fish in captivity. They are so slow that you really can't have any other fish around.
 
We have austrailian seadragons at the Seattle Aquarium. I watched them for nearly an hour last time I was there because it was for a privated party and the entire aquarium was rented out. They're just amazing! :)
 
just got back from vacation and while i was there went to tampas aquarium they had a few sea dragons !! i sat and watched them eating live mysis for an hour or so !! funny they slowly swim up to them and then lightning fast its gone :) amazing wish they could be bought !!
 
Last time i was at the long beach aquarium and was watching their leafy sea dragon tank, an anouncer person came up to my girlfriend and me and started telling us all about them. We were astonished when he told us that they were the only successful dragons to actually spawn in captivity. at that time they didnt know if the eggs would hatch or the fry would survive, but that they were getting closer to breeding them. it will be a joyous day when they are able to breed in captivity and we can see them in bigger populations.
