Sea Monkeys

I got sea monkeys about a month ago and they went well. I find that you dont need to feed them as much once the algae starts to grow and thats why I have mine set up in the window sill. Where it grows heaps of algae. After a while the algae began to grow a bit too strongly so I orderd some coco snails and sea bubbles from another company called itsybitsyseadragons.co.uk. After a few days they arrived and I was amazed at how quickly these little snails clean the algae of the sides of the ocean-viewer. Any way Im nearly out of my growth food now so ill be ordering some more from seamonkeys.com soon. I think these products are exellent.

Sea monkeys are great for young children to learn about keeping animals. They need to make sure they care for them properly giving them the right amount of food and making sure they don't die. Sea Monkeys are a type of brine shrimp and the tank should last up to 2 years - amazing! The creators of these have been working over the past 40 years to prolong their lives and also get more to hatch. When they do hatch you can't see them as they're only the size of a full stop. Within 4 weeks they will have grown to 1/2 to 3/4 inch. This is there full size. After four weeks they will also start reproducing and the lifecycle starts all over again.

I'm sure my children are like most of yours with regards to pets. They moan and moan and moan for a pet and then when you buy them one they show next to no interest. In the past we've had countless hamsters, rabbits and gold fish and a dog. And every time it's been left up to me to feed and look after them. So when my two kids started asking for a pet again late last year I was reluctant to say the least. Then browsing Hawkins Bazaar for Birthday presents one day I saw these 'Sea Monkeys' on special offer so after reading the info on the box I thought this would be an ideal small pet for the kids to look after and help grow. The easy to use and ...  Read the complete review

Sea Monkeys are a great first 'pet' for all supervised children. They are quite 'magic' as the powder turns into little shrimp things but not as instantly as advertised on the front. Wait 3 days before actually being able to see something for real. In the tank pack you get the eggs, powder to add to water, and the food. One thing to remember is that you should not over-feed them by putting in more than one scoop every 2 days. I have forgotten for a week and they have been fine. Another thing to realise before buying is that you will not get 30 sea monkeys in one tank. I have about 5 sea monkeys' in the tank in total which has been for about 6 months. Another free ...  Read the complete review

What a con. These little Daphnia water fleas you magically bring back to life - fair enough and a good educaton to kids. What I'm opposed to is all the riduculous mechandise that goes with it. The castles, the food, the funny stuff that brings them back to life when you forget to feed them, water them and let them dry out. I did have these when I was a kid and despite my best efforts I could never get them to last like they reckon on the packet. These don't really teach children to be responsible either, it doesn't matter if they all die let them dry out and they whet them again and they come back to life and live happily every after until you ...  Read the complete review
