Brine Shrimp

Brine shrimp are small, tiny shrimp that live in salty "brine" water. They are also the type of animals that are marketed to children as pets under the name "Sea Monkeys."

The cherry barb is threatened in the wild, so it is important for home aquarists to breed this tiny fish in a captive environment.
