When I saw it in the store I just had to get them. I read the handbook many times. I was very excited when the sea monkeys hatched. They are very tiny and white.They are the perfect pet but you have to follow the directions on the box carefully. You need to to 3 tasks each day to their cage. So it may be hard for younger children to care for them. I am going to get more sea monkeys because they taught me a lot about reading all directions. Also because you do not have to take them on walks or give them a bath like other pets.

Sea Monkeys are truly amazing! They hatch right when you add bottled water!! They are really gentle and swim in perfect whirls! I highly reccomend this set because this is the tank that started it all!! It is every kid's dream to actually hatch and grow instant life!! It is really true what the manufacturer says! Sea Monkeys do not require high maintenence! They are really fun to watch, don't take up a lot of space, and are easy to set up and care for!! Any Sea Monkey Set makes the greatest gift a kid could ever ask for! Just remember never to place the tank in direct sunlight, and never place it on an unstable surface or where it can get knocked over or they'll die. Carry the tank with both hands but never ever pick it up from the lid. When they hatch, they are only about the size of the period at the bottom of the exclamation mark end of this sentence!

Sea Monkeys are a great buy for kids or older people. I bought them for my mother who is 83 and unable to get up and move around. She has enjoyed looking at them grow; they are still living after moving around from the rehabilitation hospital, skilled care, and back home! It is definitely a good buy.

Sea-Monkeys are highly educational and children really enjoy them and their sceintifical features. While playing and having fun with a colony of Sea-Monkeys, children learn to have responsiblity and they hardly even notice it! While gaining so much responsiblity parents really gain childrens trust. Every aspect about the Sea-Monkeys are educational, because the children really want to learn how to take care of their pets without too much help, so after reading so much about them, they expand their knowledge!

I live alone and I can't really have a cat or a dog because they demand a lot of attention and care. To be honest I can't even take care of myself properly LOL what to say of a living creature friend. So I decided to listen to some friends and buy sea monkeys. They are fun. If you follow the instructions in a few days you have some living ones swimming in the bowl. It's a nice way to have a little life in your apartment. And trust me, they are easy to take care of. Food once, maybe twice a week. Never change the water....that's it....Easier than flowers...And you always have the feeling you have something to watch.

Good for kids too, to teach them to have responsability when taking care of something. It's fun!

I remember having these as a child and loved them. To my surprize my boyfriend had never even heard of them. So as a gag gift for 2008 Xmas i bought him this exact set. He laughed it off when he opened it. So first attempt didnt go so well, he "accidently" fed the little guys a LARGE SCOOP... (he didnt read the directions well) so it ended up in a big green mess with no survivors... so i thought. After changing the water ever so carefully as to not lose the stuff on the bottom of the tank, possibly future eggs. I added more water and aerated the tank by blowing bubbles in the water with a straw...it was kind of like CPR because after a few days WHAMMO little sea-monkeys started swimming again. Needless to say its 06-21-09 and they are still around.
Its a trip to watch them swim around and fly into each other. They grow really fast. How you can not get this for a child is just wrong, and if you never had them as a child you should splurge now because they are just as fun now as they were then. They also make a great conversational piece. Super Easy and Super Fun!

I bought sea monkeys for my younger cousin last christmas and he loved them. Just the fact that he is the one that read the directions and "did it all by himself" was realy neat. He realy enjoyed watching them hatch and grow, and remembering to feed them. All in all these pets are great for younger kids who would like to have a little responsibility but without giving parents an animal to have to look after

I begged my mom when I was around 8yo for these! They only lasted that summer cause they were accidentally knocked over :( Came across these again 16yrs later and HAD to have them! So far they are growing nicely. After about a month I have 4 adults and 3 to 5 babies swimming around! Only problem is trying to keep our cat from getting too curious LOL!

s.i had them for 3 months untill i lost the food ( but then seretly i put it in my moms pond). i also brought them on the airplane in a water bottle and they survived. They even got through security. i really didnt have any problems with them. you just got to follow the directions carefully.

Hi, anyone who thinks it is kind of weird to have them hatching after water, it reallly does work. They live for around 1 and a half years,well mine did, they are little fascinating creatures,great more for a very first pet for kids.
