![]() ![]() Maybe I’ll treat them to a bigger tank once they’re grown up a bit and can appreciate everything this hard-working mother does for them. When he began selling his shrimp in 1960s, von Braunhut marketed them under the name Instant Life. I would do anything for them including not forgetting to feed them their weird-ass green powder food and looking at them doe-eyed as they scoot around their tank with zero thoughts in their tiny dumb brains. They weren’t initially marketed as Sea-Monkeys. I guess I’m the mum to a bunch of tiny little krill children now. They were so small I could barely see them but basically, all those little light-coloured flecks in the tanks are wee babs. I have never focused on a single task so much in my entire life. I was determined to not lose a single unhatched monke.įive days later and the tiny brine krill babies hatched and started scooting around the tank. This indicates that they are eating property and have a full gut. Healthy adult Sea-Monkeys (1/2- 3/4 long or 12mm -19mm) will have a dark streak running the length of their bodies. Show me them tiny sprog-lookin’ guys.Īn Ode To The Chocolate Game, The Worst-Best Way To Eat A Block Of Choc With A Bunch Of MatesĪfter putting the eggs in I had to carefully aerate the water by tipping the whole tank into a jug and back again. Because the new basic Growth Food formula is concentrated, feed your Sea-Monkeys just once a week with only ONE scoop full of food. I’m sure my housemates were fine with it. So for a full day, I just had an empty tank of water sitting on the bookshelf in my lounge room with nothing in it. You have to purify the tank water for at least 24 hours before you even think about the Monkeys. It’s really not just a case of chucking the lil’ swimmers in with some tap water and waiting for them to appear. Lord forgive me im bout to spend it all on sea monkeysĬonsidering it’s been at least 20 years since I last owned a batch of Sea Monkeys (who possibly died after I forgot to feed them because I was a literal child), I also forgot there’s a bit of prep involved. Phew, who knew that Sea Monkeys were so much work? There are Mars and Magic Castle-themed tanks and a big ol’ Ocean Treasure set that comes with a little analog water pump to “oxygenate the water without electricity”. Sure you can buy the little OG cylindrical tank to raise your brine krill babies in, but there are also bigger and cooler options available now. Something that surprised me was the fact that not only do Sea Monkeys still exist but the range has expanded. Who would have thought that after all these years - and the fact their late creator Harold von Braunhut once allegedly said that Adolf Hitler “just got bad press” - that Sea Monkeys still exist?
