Editorial Review

"You are about to begin a NEW amazing hobby that is so fantastic, it STAGGERS THE IMAGINATION!... you will create INSTANT LIFE! Yes, singlehanded you will raise up the world's only living, breathing INSTANT PETS--amazing live SEA-MONKEYS!" The instruction book for the Sea Monkeys Ocean Zoo is an entertaining--and enthusiastic--read, packed with revelations about those ubiquitous brine shrimp from your comic-book-reading days. They're fascinating creatures, able to live up to a year or more, reproduce ("dozens of adorable babies!"), even "perform tricks" in their 5.75-inch magnifier-studded Micro-Vue aquarium. The kit comes with eggs, food, plasma, water purifier, and handbook--just add the water. A great set of pets for a smallish domicile, they'd also make a scintillating science project--plus, they're just plain fun! --Julie Ubben

If you're interested in seeing how your kid will take care of these timeless pets definately go with this kit. It is the bare bones basic, compllete with water purifier, eggs, food and spoon, no more, no less. if your kid responds well to this one, then you'll want to upgrade to the more nifty kits.

one word of caution, if your kid has his/her heart set on a red tank, don't hold your breath. I ordered from this listing for the red tank and got a blue one instead. i'm grateful that my son was able to be more flexible when it showed up, after all it was the monkeys that he wanted more than anything.

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Schylling Sea Monkeys Ocean Zoo Colors may VAry (Toy)

it's great and all but there are two flaws that are VERY important:

1. this kit only has the basics, there are others which come with teeny little transportation tanks (sea-bubble pendant, wrist aquarium, etc..) with the same tank model and things (plus they come in kool colors; mine's pink!) this doesn't COME with any teeny transport tanks.

2. this (like every sea monkey tank that looks like this) is QUITE ill-balanced. be careful!
