Oddly enough, brine shrimp are desert animals. Their eggs (or cysts) can survive for at least ten years in a dehydrated state. They lie in wait for the occasional rainfall and develop in the brackish puddles that form

Brine shrimp that you buy to feed your tropical fish live in the Great Salt Lake in Utah. The lake is so salty that nothing else can live in it. The eggs that people hatch to feed baby brine shrimp to their young and small fish are collected from the lake and dried for sale. This is the only place they live.
There are many kinds of shrimp and many of them live in the ocean, but not brine shrimp.

Ok, yes, sea monkeys are a variation of brine shrimp, but for cryin' out loud, they don't live in the frickin' jungle.
Hmm.. upon doing some research, I see they're commonly found in salty lakes (such as the Great Salt Lake), but not oceans.

Water ought to be close to Perfact. sluggish choosy eaters so save a species purely tank (seahorses and pipefish) or they could no longer compete for foodstuff.(slowly starve to lack of existence) DO a range of of analyze beforehand jumping in.
