(More customer reviews)I missed out on keeping Sea Monkeys when I was a kid. So, when I saw this kit online, I tossed it into my shopping basket thinking it'd be a nice kitch-y piece for my office. Little did I know how much I would enjoy this little kit!
It takes about a week for the tank to truly be hopping with Sea Monkeys (fairy/brine shrimp). At first, when they hatch, they aren't much to look at - tiny, almost invisible moving specks of white in the water. Within a week, they become about 4-5mm long, though, and easily viewed with the naked eye. They reproduce and hatch even more little ones, creating a perfect never-ending aquarium that requires little maintenence.
This kit has been the topic of much curiousity with people in my office. "What the heck are those?" they marvel at my little pets.
To truly help your sea-monkeys to thrive, do occasionally aerate the water. You can bubble air into the tank with the included 'aqua leash' in the kit. I tend to do it once or twice a day when I'm in the office, but that's probably overkill. A spoonful of food once a week, and your sea monkeys will be happy and healthy. Currently, my Magic Castle contains about 20 large-sized sea monkeys and many infants. Occasionally, you may want to use the included aqua leash to vacuum up some of the debris that will form on the bottom of the tank - algae and other stuff - but that's more for appearances than anything else. (Be sure not to accidentally vacuum up one of your sea monkey pals in the process like I did!)
While sea monkeys are not 'pretty' like tropical fish, their ease of care makes them a perfect cubicle companion. They're fun to watch - they become the most active in late afternoon. I've enjoyed this tank and plan on getting their "Sea Monkeys on Mars" tank when it is available.
