I first bought myself a really cheap knock-off called SpongeBob Square paints "Plenty-o-plankton" at a local Wallgreens around the holidays to try with my 2 grandsons. Thank goodness I tried it out first because it was total JUNK! I only paid $3.99 for it, so as I always say, you get what you pay for! Anyway, I did a ton of research to figure out what I was doing wrong and discovered that Plenty-O-Plankton was not the same thing as the genuine Sea-Monkeys. Well, this prompted me to find the real deal. I did some searching and Amazon has many different Sea-Monkey kits to choose from. I bought this kit because I'm a SciFi nut any I figured it would be a great conversation piece for my office and it has. I've had people stop by every day to look at them. It really works great and I will buy another one for my grandsons.
Important to note: Read ALL THE DIRECTIONS on the packets and the FAQ's at [...] if you have any troubles. They also have great e-mail support. Water temp and location of the tank is very important. Avoid direct sunlight but using an incandescent light to keep the tank temp above 72° F helps them grow really fast.
Have Fun!!!

This review is from: Schylling Sea Monkeys On Mars (Toy)

I got this for my son, but ended up watching the Sea Monkeys frolic for long periods of time. The Mars tank is the best because it looks almost like a natural setting. At first, some Sea Monkeys keep running into the astornaut, but now they are a little better at avoiding him.

I followed the insructions and the Sea Monkeys are thriving! There are mature Sea Monkeys and babies in my tank. I'm waiting for the next generation to be born, since some females have been carrying egg sacs around for a while now. The babies like to hide near the base of the mountain, while the adults swim all around. Now they are even bold enough to swim under the spaceship.

I aerate the tank every other day with a tiny Capri Sun juice straw that has the bottom 1/4" folded up and taped. I pieced all over the bottom 1/2 inch of the straw with the smallest pin pricks I could make. Be careful to keep blowing and draw the straw up before water (any Sea Monkeys) gets sucked into the straw.

They also love short periods of direct sun (make sure the water doesn't get hotter than 77 degrees F.) If it is the first light of the day, they go wild! That's also what makes this tank so great. The arches and mountain make some shade for Sea Monkeys that prefer privacy and less sun. Since they're so little, it looks like they are flying around. I think this is by far the most comfortable habitat for Sea Monkeys that I've seen.

I hope they make some more like this so I have someplace a little different to put my 2nd generation Sea Monkeys. I want to bring one to my offic!

It's great as a little kid's first pet too.

I like this aquarium because the wide base makes it hard to accidentally tip over.

Here's a tip: for an aerator, I bought a cheap two-pack of airstones at the pet store, and popped one right into the Aqua-Leash.
