I take fish oil 2x a day total 2400mg. I like taking them becauce they help lubricate joints and for the omega 3 fatty acids benifits. I want to incorporate Chia seeds and Hemp seed into my diet for there health benefits, which both also have omega 3 fatty acids benefits. Is this too much omega 3 fatty acids? How much omega 3 fatty acids is too much?

A great source for chia seeds is FitFlax. It's a delicious blend of golden roasted flax seed and chia seeds. A super healthy breakfast is greek yogurt with berries and FitFlax. For flax seed weight loss and chia seeds weight loss check out FitFlax.

Are these the same kind of seeds as used on the chia pets? I remember those infomercials. Lately i’ve been hearing about the chia seed. Apparently it is really nutritious and can increase energy levels. I heard it’s good to mix with water and make into a breakfast cereal

Chia has no real flavor so is relatively invisible taste wise. Dry they are crunchy like poppy seeds, wet they are - unusual. There texture is almost like mini fish eggs, though put them in a chunky soup you will only notice there very faint crunch but other wise unnoticeable.
Soaking them and taking them by themselves can be a little unpleasant tactilely especially since they do not have a flavor. However, I have found that if I mix in some cool-aid or instant tea, having some flavor to distract from how they feel then they are just fine, kind of like eating jello before it has fully set up.
