Babies!

I'd about given up on my sea monkeys. After hatching what seemed like
half-a-thousand of them, they rapidly dwindled to six over the first week.
This week the survivors got bigger (probably helped that they had all that
high-protein cannibalistic fate) but even the tiny tank they came in seemed
rather empty. Today I noticed half-a-thousand specks floating around in
there. It would seem that I should have been watching their antics a bit
more closely.

There's at least three distinct sizes of seamonkeys swimming around in there
at the moment. With luck, the Jumbos won't eat all the minis over the
weekend.

Well...

MOnkey's being monkey they'll eat each other or nuke each other.

I did notice though that you've not linked my blog to your website. I'm slighty peeved about this.

In fact, so much so, that i hope you sea monkey's cannabalise themselves into obli vion!

Actually, thinking about your sea-monkey (or is it aquaria-monkey) problem, isn't it possible to segment off part of the aquarium.

Get the big monkeys on one side and the small ones on the other and only allow the wee ones over to the bigger side when they're large enough to defend themselves?
