I never knew that when I was little, and when I started my job I found out. Maybe that will help.<br><b>References : </b><br> Did you know that sea monkeys are actually baby brine shrimp?

On a hydrometer you would want a specific gravity between 1.011 (15ppt) up to 1.030 (40ppt). So for a one liter tank you should add somewhere between 1/2 and 2 tablespoons of salt (NOT table salt). Ideally use some marine salt as it will level out at the higher pH.<br><b>References : </b><br>Fish Store Owner They are very forgiving in their range of salinity.
