they're not useful, if that's what you mean. i think they're part of a whale's diet in the wild. that's kinda useful. i had them when i was a kid and they were called 'sea monkeys'. they just swim around, eat, poop, and reproduce. if you think about it, their lives aren't any more pointless than ours, just smaller.

Live fish food! Yum!
Brine shrimp are good to teach kids to feed an animal but mainly they are good for fresh water fish to dine on.
As for why this is at all useful? I have no clue! I had a brine shrimp breeder so I could have fresh food for my fish! They love brine shrimp!
Hope this helps! BYE!

Brine shrimp eggs are sold to be raised as live food for fish. Baby brine shrimp are harvested as food for fish fry because they are tiny enough for the little fry to eat and are highly nutritious.

Why not? Kids are weird that way. The simplest things can enthrall them.
I say let her have her fun. Soon enough she'll be asking to borrow the car to go out on a date with some loser. You might as well enjoy her innocense now! :-)

Sea Monkeys! They are entertaining for kids who want to watch them grow and can help teach her responsibility for feeding them.
I don't know how old your daughter is but it could be a away to teach her the life/death cycle.
