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

Is he your ex?  (I know it could’ve been an honest mistake, but I immediately imagined an argument: “WHAT ABOUT THAT TIME YOU KILLED MY SEA MONKEYS?!” What does that say about me? idk  Now I’m nervously laughing to myself and deciding whether I should hit post………………   )

They sure are active this morning!

LOL yes he is my ex

I aerated the tank again after I fed them so they were a little tossed around.

Day 10!

They've gotten big enough to see their little leggies.

That one in the middle is really paddling!

[Heart Of Midnight]

Wow, I can see the little tails and front flippers/fins wagging. Do they all fit well in that pool? How big do they grow?

[BlackCurtains]

They can get about 3-5cm in length. When I had them before I didn't have this many. I don't think they will all grow into full adults. I'm assuming the space given is enough for them. I can always get a nano tank for them. The good news is they don't attack or eat each other.

Day 15!

There's one that's bigger than all the others, but it was hiding behind the design.

Day 20...

No video today as it's too dark to get a good one. Many of them have died The ones left are the bigger ones. I was careful not to overfeed them and I aerate them twice a day like the booklet says, so I'm not sure why so many died. Maybe it was too crowded?

[Heart Of Midnight]

 Oh! That's how it goes in nature too, only the strongest survive. Let's hope that these bigger ones will be able to live and continue to grow. It would be so interesting to see how they develop and live.
I've never heard of these before (I thought this was just some toy thing)! I googled their name and found out that these are also sold in Finland! I have to write a new wish list for Santa!

[BlackCurtains]

They're so cool to watch I have them on my desk. It makes me want to get a small aquarium and some fish.

It's going to be very cold again, and I worry about the sea monkeys surviving. I looked to see if I could get a little heat mat for them but even the smallest ones heat to 100 degrees, and that's too hot. I'm not sure what to do to protect them from the cold.

I counted 9 today. The water is getting cloudy.

Funny and strange creatures..
 Do you have to change the water or do they live in the same water as long as they live?

[BlackCurtains]

They live in the same water but you can add more when it evaporates. I used bottled spring water.

The cloudiness went away when I skipped feeding them. They get fed every three days, like the book says, but I think it might be too much for mine that are left.
