You’re so nice, John. Actually, it is I that wants to thank YOU for these great videos and bringing attention to the Sea-Monkey brand in such a positive light. Great video and fun for me to finally see this odd little kit opened and up and running. I appreciate everything you’re doing as does Yolanda. Thanks again and keep it up. - Tod 🦐🙊🍼
🙏 Cheers Tod! This was a really fun video to make; still no luck with hatching those eggs though but I’ll keep my fingere crossed 🤞 send my well wishes to Yolanda :) I hope she gets a chance to see these videos some time
As someone who was frightened by the older versions of the sea monkeys… I really really like the art. It’s so cute! They did a really nice job with it :)! I like that they have a “nursery.” It’s just nice to see that they know that starting your colony and maintaining it can be hard, so having the hatchlings by themselves to be more successful! :) It does look so flimsy which is really sad. Tod’s art is so great!! I love seeing his updated versions!
Also, an update on my added grow light… it was definitely a coincidence of my older ones dying when I added the light, and the light is definitely helping my algae growth :)
That’s great to hear Sarah! When I was trying to figure out the secrets to keeping brine shrimp alive I noticed time and time again that those who have the healthiest tanks also have a lot of green algae growing in there. So I’m glad to hear yours is starting to take off :)
I had no idea they still produced sea monkey kits! Ohhh, I'm so excited! I can't wait to get one for my son! Thank you so much for the helpful tips on additional important supplies like a heater, air stone, and uv light.
I actually just found your channel and I think what you teach and do in your videos is actually really interesting. Keep going because, I want more please. :3
Cheers :) I hatched some beavertail fairy shrimp eggs a little while ago that had a few clam shrimp eggs mixed in, but I've never had triops. I do plan on making videos about triops and other vernal pool crustaceans in the near future; sea-monkeys have just captured my spirit for now :) would love to hear your tips for triops / clam shrimp if you have any!
Thanks for the video! Here's hoping the eggs hatch, I would love to see the babies in the nursery. Shame about the quality though. I'm also looking forward to seeing the updated handbook!
@@pico-cosmos oh no, that’s such a shame! I don’t think it’s available in Australia, but hoping to get my hands on the handbook in future tanks! (Hopefully)
I have a knock off sea monkey tank, and they unfortunately ran out of food. My step dad bought the wrong food, and here's the weird part, they died from the food and they somehow resurrected from the dead. And what gets even weirder is, what was their poison, became their prime source of food. I even lost the pipette for them and they do just fine. That makes me believe they evolved somehow.😅
Yeah definitely! I have plans to do clam shrimp, triops, fairy shrimp, daphnia etc in the future. Just working through the Sea-Monkey stuff at the moment though :)
Really wanna get a set of these again but I dont have a place to put it where the cat wont get at it. Also dont think the temperature is good enough for survival. Dont think my last one lasted more than a 2-6 weeks. Pretty sure it was temperature because I did feed them properly and aerated the tank regularly.
Are they mating? I highly suggest watching my video about how to keep your Sea-Monkey alive. If you follow those tips you should be good How to Keep Your Sea Monkeys Alive | Top 5 Tips! ruclips.net/video/ttlYkpcct1M/видео.html
not a collector of sea monkey products, just a collector of sea monkeys. Nothing wrong with that, the brine shrimp are the whole point of the product anyways side note id be fascinated to see how genetically similar these old eggs are to the ones the company sells today. They could be genetically as close as biologically possible for the species or they could be nearly identical on a genetic level, and we wouldn't know till getting some genetic analysis done. Maybe you'd see a genetic clock phenomenon by comparing different eras of eggs, with a proportional genetic difference to the amount of time since the eggs were laid. If that's what would be found, then it would mean the sea monkeys the company sells are essentially clones, with the only genetic variety coming from mutations happening over time.
Wait!!!! U telling me the eggs are in packet 1?! I thought it was just aquarium salt! I was grinding them with a spoon after I poured them in the tank! :( Surely the eggs are microscopic and are unharmed!
@@pico-cosmos yeah I love ur videos:) and I talked to my dad about putting the baby in a different tank. First time it was winter died because of cold So I have an extra tank
Sometimes I do yeah, but it’s not essential. I just clean it up so the tank looks a little nicer. If you remove saltwater from the tank it needs to be replaced with more saltwater though which can be a little complicated
My seamonkey female tale is bent tbh she has always been smaller than all the rest and swam funny and now that she is grown I think she is deformed I cannot work out if she is dying or surviving because she swims but is mostly at the bottom. I only have 7 seak ones the tank is 3 months old I occasionally have babies but they disappear not really sure what I am doing wrong they are breeding but the females egg pouches are dark brown is that normal?
is it a running joke that you always say "i dont collect sea monkeys, i just do this to show collectors the product" cause you have a wall of sea monkey tanks, you know everything about them, you own almost every tank i think you are a sea monkey collector ;) actually scratch that youre a sea monkey EXPERT
🤣🤣🤣 it is a bit of a running joke yeah. It’s true that I still don’t consider myself a collector as I have no interest in holding onto this stuff once the videos are made. Most people would definitely consider me a Sea-Monkey collector though 😅

"I care for a ton of sea monkeys IT'S AMAZING"
😂 yeah this is basically my life now
@@pico-cosmos Haha lol-
I never thought I'd find myself subscribed to a channel dedicated to Sea Monkeys but here I am.
Welcome 🤗

“Don’t have to pay child support if I eat all their food.”- Sea Monkey, probably

Love the videos. Have you ever done anything with triops or clam shrimp?

Tbh, it's so easy for me to raise my sea monkeys. I leave them next to my dunny window, forget about them, 5 weeks later see them, and they are huge!!
Haha sometimes the less you mess with a tank the better the results. Sounds like you’re doing a good job!
Thanks for the video! Here's hoping the eggs hatch, I would love to see the babies in the nursery. Shame about the quality though.
I'm also looking forward to seeing the updated handbook!
Still havent seen any babies and it’s been 4 days now :/ so it’s not looking too good. Are you planning to get the new starter kit? 😀
@@pico-cosmos oh no, that’s such a shame! I don’t think it’s available in Australia, but hoping to get my hands on the handbook in future tanks! (Hopefully)

Could you give a little update on what happened to them? Its says your comment is almost a year old so im just kinda curious tbh lol.
Oh I’m their best friend also they died 😢
Wanted to start getting into raising tiny pets and found your channel, and I am enjoying it, thank you.
When I was about ten I had this nursery set and the robo mover set for my older ones lol
I love sea monkeys you helped me though my journey thank you very much 😊
Woah! I just stumbled upon this channel and somehow RUclips figured out my slowly growing interest in sea monkeys! Definitely subscribing!! >:D
At least he is taking care of his baby Sea Monkeys 😊
Are you ever going to do anything with a closely related ‘novelty’ shrimp, the Triops?
Yeah definitely! I have plans to do clam shrimp, triops, fairy shrimp, daphnia etc in the future. Just working through the Sea-Monkey stuff at the moment though :)
@@pico-cosmos Awesome!
They are easy for me to watch and enjoy
You should do a vid where u try and hatch triops!
Really wanna get a set of these again but I dont have a place to put it where the cat wont get at it. Also dont think the temperature is good enough for survival. Dont think my last one lasted more than a 2-6 weeks. Pretty sure it was temperature because I did feed them properly and aerated the tank regularly.
Get yourself a USB aquarium heater 👍 they’re cheap and small enough to fit into little Sea-Monkey tanks. I show them in some of my other videos
Sea monkeys on the go!
I liked
your video John😄
I had a kit like this when I was 8
:O you must’ve been the luckiest kid ever lol. Did you have any other sea monkey items back then?
@@pico-cosmos a few mostly just a large pack of eggs and triops
If you want large number of see moncky then you need big tank and another tank for the babies and you need to buy a lot of water ferilizer
Little question do all sea monkey tanks have pipettes?
You should email transcience to see if they can ship a copy of the retrostuff to you given you're a content creator.
Ah I probably will in the future! It looks like my friend Tod is going to send me one of the new retro kits so I’m sorted for now 🙌
@@pico-cosmos Most excellent can't wait till you upload your next video
It is almost my birthday I have asked
my parents to get me some Sea monkeys they said maybe I am excited💅
if i buy a tank will it come with 1 2 3 packets?
Yup!
LOVE THE VID!
Cheers Bennyboi! Glad you enjoyed it :)
If I want to transport my 2nd generation babies into a new tank should I add a water purifier?
It’s probably best to set up a whole new tank using packets #1 & #2 - and then just keep one tank for adults and another for babies
What do you do when you're Sea monkeys food ran out?
I feed mine live microalgae that I grow at home
Did they eventually hatched?
Nah :/
I have one of those with a big blue air stone, it’s actually my most recent video
Great video mate! Really cool seeing that old stuff. Let me know if you're be willing to sell it :) I'd love to share it on the channel some day
@@pico-cosmos thanks
If you’re going to do that why not just use a glass jar or something because that’s a lot more sturdy
Lol yup! A jar would work much better 👍
wow never heard of this one
Yeah I don’t think it’s too well known. I only came across it randomly when searching on google one day
@@pico-cosmos and exactly why I follow your channel lol you see a lot more than I do that's for sure
Its been a whole month and my sea monkeys are dying and nit making babies and i worry
Are they mating? I highly suggest watching my video about how to keep your Sea-Monkey alive. If you follow those tips you should be good

yeah packet number 1 has the eggs! Did yours still hatch??
@@pico-cosmos yeah, they've hatched. They're about a week old.
@@ShinyMew151 Glad to hear they're ok : )
I remember Eric's
Ohhh
Here before a year!! ❤❤
Can’t believe this video is almost a year old! Feels like I only made it recently lol
@@pico-cosmos yeah I love ur videos:) and I talked to my dad about putting the baby in a different tank. First time it was winter died because of cold
So I have an extra tank
@@pico-cosmosa day before a year lol :)
@@pico-cosmosA YEAR
Do you remove the poop from the tank?
Sometimes I do yeah, but it’s not essential. I just clean it up so the tank looks a little nicer. If you remove saltwater from the tank it needs to be replaced with more saltwater though which can be a little complicated

I think its cannibalism
i just bought one
:O where from??
@@pico-cosmos Austriala Target
@@pico-cosmos Btw i love your content
@@pico-cosmos Sorry for being late on this comment
@@MadMax6734YT Oh nice, which tank did you get?
So jealous!!!! 😳🤪😝😜🧐
Haha this is one of those rare tanks that I think people only really want because it’s rare. The tank itself sucks 😂😂
@@pico-cosmos so true!
I thought you had to wait 24 hours to add eggs once the pure water . Or you kill your eggs
Nah I always add them both at the same time, it doesn’t make a difference. These ones didn’t hatch because they’re so old
That’s what the instructions say. I always wait the 24 hours to give it time to remove the rest of the impurities in the water.
I should do that from my channel
You’ll be a famous RUclipsr one today 🙌
Are Sea monkeys living animals
yep, they're freeze-dried brine shrimp, it's a type of shrimp that's commonly used for live eating freshwater fish
To bad none hatched out on the last check!
what is a sea monkey
I made a video explaining it here:
ruclips.net/video/rdZyZ2TUaQU/видео.html
Very early
🙌 better early than never Val lol
I threw mine into the toilet… I feel bad lmao
Am I the only one concerned for those sea monkeys i mean I think those eggs would of died
is it a running joke that you always say "i dont collect sea monkeys, i just do this to show collectors the product"
cause you have a wall of sea monkey tanks, you know everything about them, you own almost every tank
i think you are a sea monkey collector ;) actually scratch that
youre a sea monkey EXPERT

do the Sub
I'll probably start the Ocean of Fun kit this week and the Explor-a-sub tank the week after. Both videos should be out by the end of July :)
