The magic of Sea Monkeys... Fun but it will take time July 5, 2010
JCs (North Eastern USA)
We thought our four year old son might get a kick out of the seaming magic of the Sea Monkey experience, and he did. Sea Monkeys have been around for many years and I had them as a young boy as well many years ago. The idea of just adding water and some packets of eggs to create your own Sea Monkey population is as fun as it ever was. The process is not something you will complete in an afternoon or a day even, this will take time to prepare the water and follow up with occasional aerating and feeding with the supplied spoon. The whole process may actually help teach younger children that everything is not instant gratification and great thing come to those who wait. My son was so excited to get the water ready and pick the location of the small tank , but soon learned he could not add the eggs until the tank was ready. Distilled or filtered water required for the filling of the tank and a temperature of 72-78 degrees works best for hatching the eggs. The following day we added the eggs and the wait began. My son enjoyed the daily, sometimes multiple daily checks for new Sea Monkeys as well as stirring the water with the included spoon for aeration. The eggs hatched around day 3 and he was very excited to see the tiny new additions we had. The Sea Monkeys are very small at hatching and can only be spotted by some in the magnifying bubbles on the tank walls. The feeding starts 5 days after they hatch and the food they supply has lasted us the 3 months we have had them. We have had the Sea Monkeys for 3 months and they almost completely disappeared twice since we have had them, but rebounded on their own with out anything more than aeration and replacing any evaporated water. They do come with a 2 year growth guarantee from Transcience Corp. the makers of Sea Monkeys, in which they will replace the stater eggs and purifier for a small handling charge. The Sea Monkey website gives many tips and great ideas for the success of your new found tiny pets. They also offer additional food packets and other supplies for purchase if you choose to keep your Sea Monkeys going for long periods past the starter supplies. With so many things today being battery operated , computer based games or just high tech in general we felt this was a great idea and learning experience for our little one. If your looking for something different as we were , this may just be a nice change of pace.
Sea Monkeys not See Monkeys June 20, 2010
H. B. Fordham (Huntsville, AL USA)
Your not going to get a giant sized National Geographic picture of a Monkey floating around in your little aquarium here...it's SEA Monkeys dude! Have ya ever been a little kid? These little critters light up my 10 year old and me as well. Keep the tank in sunlight, feed them once a week and gently stir the tank every other day or so and ENJOY! I don't recommend getting any tank other than the one they come in.
 Sea Monkeys Died April 23, 2010

I purchased this for my grandson. We followed the directions and we had lots of thriving sea monkeys. We fed them with the small spoon end and the following day they were all dead. The water got cloudy after we fed them and I am going to leave it be as I did some research on these little guys and they frequently die, but them after a few weeks more of them rehatch. So if you purchase this kit, do not throw out the water if they die because most likely a second batch will hatch. Hopefully we get a new batch since my grandson was so enamoured by them.

I'm sure that brine shrimp might interest someone's child. But they're largely boring creatures, if they hatch at all. They're not very resilient, either, which means you'll have one or two left from the hatchlings that you might get.
I bought this because my daughter wanted a pet. We didn't want an inside animal because we're allergic. They didn't hatch - or so we thought. Then my husband brought home two laying hens (don't ask; I don't know what he was thinking). They're funny and affectionate creatures, largely clean, and provide us eggs. They only need a small amount of space.
Obviously, we prefer the chickens.

All directions were followed exactly, but Sea Monkeys were DOA.
Are you going to replace them? My grandson was very disappointed.
