Artemia, more commonly known as brine shrimp. My animals go through three bags of them a week. Good luck with them, they tend to breed rather quickly.

Update, was leaving tank on windowsill (now not) to help grow algae and the cold killed off most the sea monkeys, only 5 survived, 2 females and 3 males, lucky one of the females "poofed" out about 20+ baby sea monkeys at some point over past couple days so there lots now and the other female will be doing the same any day.

I think the lettuce leaf I put in killed them within 30mins of putting it in there, they were doing really well, ah cri era tym. The shrimp in there died too. My sea monkeys are in a thing next to them on the verge of generation changing, old ones dying and new babies everywhere *fingers crossed* they survive

I don't know if this has anything to do with their deaths, but lettuce can be poisonous. If eaten enough it can effect humans and I know my canaries musn't have it either.
