sorry to tell you but sea monkeys are technically just brine shrimp that us normal human beings would use as food to feed other animals. Sea monkeys is just a gimic name to sell the idea of these to people. Sea monkeys can reproduce after mating or asexually meaning you only need a female. These brine shrimp that you are buying as sea monkeys have been messed around with a bit to make them slightly larger, about 1 and a half centimeters in length and to allow the group to continue for around 2 years. You can buy kits of sea monkeys ranging in price from £5 to £15 but they all do the same basic thing. You get a small ...  Read the complete review

---An introduction--- When my colleagues asked me what I wanted for my birthday last year I remembered that I had an idea a while back that sea-monkeys for the office would be a good idea. Work is not the most exciting of places for me (it's not for most people I realise!), and morale is often quite low (especially when I'm in a bad mood - my line manager did point out that "when Mary's in a bad mood, everyone is in a bad mood"). So, my thinking behind the monkeys is that they will improve the office atmosphere, and generally keep me in a chirpy mood. I don't get on well with the office plants - it seems to be that I have the role of ...  Read the complete review

Instant Pets! Just add water! As a child in the 70s, I grew up on a staple diet of "Marvel" & "DC" superhero comics imported from the america. One of the most memorable features of these comics was the small ads, flogging an assortment of wierd and wonderful gadgets to the teens of america.

"You are about to begin a NEW AMAZING hobby that is so fantastic, it STAGGERS THE IMAGINATION! With only water and the "crystals" in your sea monkey kit, YOU will create INSTANT LIFE! Yes, single ...  Read the complete review

It is sad I know, but I have wanted Sea Monkeys of my own for about 30 years. The 70's have a lot to answer for! You see, to me Sea Monkeys were the strange mysterious things that were advertised in comics when I was young, along with X-Ray specs and dirty soap bars. So maybe they were just a big joke, but I would never know unless I actually got some. After much deliberating as whether I should take the plunge or not, and trying to convince my boys that they would like some, I gave in and got myself a Sea Monkey set for £4.99. Yes, myself, as the boys had no interest in them at all, and they thought I was mad! Mine came from Tescos, in the ...  Read the complete review

I first got these little critters when I was younger and EVERYBODY had them as pets. It was considered 'cool' to own some sea monkeys! Sea monkeys are a type of shrimp that were originally sold in pet shops as fish food. They then became mystical creatures that turned from powder into living creatures that grew infront of your eyes. When you buy a kit of sea monkeys, there are a couple of small packets and a tank. The tank is not what you would expect and is small, plasticy and quite cheap. There are various magnified sections so you can see the monkeys closer. The packets you get with the tank are the eggs, growth food and water purifier. Obviously ...  Read the complete review
