Aqua Dragons

[BlackCurtains]

Not exactly a toy but a fun thing.

I had Sea Monkeys years ago and they lived for a while, maybe a year and half. They were fun to watch. I recently bought an Aqua Dragons kit after doing some research. Aqua Dragon are supposed to be better quality in terms of hatching and lifespan.

Everything it comes with; tank, eggs, food, magnifying glass, spoon, air bubbler.

It even has an LED light.

This is after adding the eggs and aerating the tank. The booklet said some will hatch right away but they'll be too small to see. They should double in size over the next few hours. Tomorrow they get fed for the first time.

I'll keep this post updated on my little shrimp

I've heard some interesting things about aqua dragons.  I'm looking forward to the updates.

Oh cool tank. Looking forward to seeing the...are they basically just sea monkeys under a different name? Or a different species entirely?

[BlackCurtains]

No they are the same little brine shrimp that sea monkeys are.

The tank is nicely oxygenated.

This was after I added to food and used the bubbler to spread it around. Not much difference from the first pic.

I found some tiny shrimp! I took some video. Sorry for my shakiness, I had to hold it up to the window in order to see them and I have a tremor. Look in the middle and up a bit, hopefully you'll be able to see them.

I’m impressed with how oxygenated that tank looks.

Well that was fast! Give it a couple of months and you'll be seeing their grandchildren's children.

There's a guy on YouTube who has a colony that's three years old. My original Sea Monkey tank was about a year old. Then I went on a trip and my boyfriend forgot to feed them. When I came home they were all dead
