Schylling The Original - Instant Life

Sea Monkeys are so cute and entertaining. They are a wonderful “low maintenance” pet, and will thrive if cared for correctly. This kit doesn’t come with a tank, which means if you don’t already have an Ocean Zoo tank, you need to measure out the correct amount of room temperature distilled water. Each pack of water purifier works for 12oz of water. The purifier adds the correct amount of salt needed for these little fellas to survive. The second important thing is water temperature. My tank stays at 25°C , and I had eggs hatching in less than 24 hours of adding them to the water. Not all the eggs hatch at the same time, be patient! Use a small aquarium thermometer to monitor the temperature. Aerate the tank! A small pipette to make bubbles is the perfect thing, do this a couple times a day to keep the tank oxygenated. Follow the feeding guide, keep the tank out of direct light, and your new friends will thrive happily. They don’t need any tank decorations, however if you want to use some, make sure it’s aquarium safe. They might not all survive, if you notice they all disappear after a few days, don’t get discouraged or give up! Check the temperature, aerate the tank, and stay patient, more eggs will hatch. :)

Eggs didn't hatch

These seem to take quite awhile to hatch, so be patient

I've purchased this twice now. I had these as a kid and thought this would make a fun and simple biology project for the kids. We followed directions perfectly. Neither package hatched. A useless waste of time & money.

Bought two packs and neither hatched. Have had sea monkeys for 2 years so do know how to hatch. Bought two packs to start a new one, but nothing at all hatched.
