@Hay Piseth Sea-Monkeys are a breed of brine shrimp known as Artemia NYOS or Artemia Salina.

[@lurkerrekrul]

Congratulations on getting them to grow bigger than a spec of dust, or to live longer than 2-3 days, which is the result that I, and most others got from those kits.

[@sculptorofbones]

Hey dude- I've found that 2.5mm diameter food grade tubing fits into the little holes on the top of the Sea Monkey castle/on Mars tanks, if you're still looking for a way to get in there to aerate them with your pumps! :) I've got the tube in a hole at the back of the tank so it tucks behind the scenery, and it's working great! Also, I LOVE your stuff and your set-ups!

[@treegiant7873]

I just recently started a DIY sea monkey project in a jar I bought from Target and a piece of driftwood I got from the local beach (boiled and treated), seeing the amount of algae in your DIY jar makes me envious! I see a really light covering of green on the driftwood so far, but they only hatched a few days ago so I don't expect to have a forest just yet. Love seeing all these monkies!

[@jmgalaxytab2325]

Take a glass and fill it with water, just clean tap water, put it in front of a window, and Eureka after a time algae will appear out of nowhere! Of course you can speed up the formation of algae using fertilisers, but even without fertilisers algae will show up sooner or later! Water + Sun Light = Life, and once life gets a foothold, life attracts life, and biodiversity will increase...

BUT seeing your 16 gallon is so exciting and inspiring and I just might go set up that 3 gallon right now!

[@FandomLurker]

I remember these guys! Had them for about two weeks as a kid then the tank dissappeared. Either my mom took it away because she thought the monkeys died or one of my "friends" from school swiped it on a play date... not sure why she would though? Lol I thought the Sea Monkey brand ran out of buisness, but I guess not! It's nice to see the tanks together being used for the shrimps again.

[@thebackyardbear]

Cool... I still remember the ads in all the comics as a kid (70s). If you have not expanded your micro universe... let me introduce you to NeoCaridina Shrimp. I have some vids from my home tanks... and yes, I do sell them on Ebay if anyone is interested.

[@bentleytheumbrellacockatoo873]

Amazing Collection !! You inspired me to buy 3 tanks !! Question would you not recommend constantly running the air pumps all day ? Trying to come up with a plan .. thanks so much !! Keep on being you !! You’re awesome !! Good luck with the 16 gallon !!! PS maybe Argonite sand (non live ) rinsed really well !! I believe thats what I used for my opae Ula shrimp !!

Do they ever build those cool underwater kingdoms that were featured on the 1970s packaging? LOL Our cats always managed to find and drink our sea monkeys growing up. The top of the fridge is NOT a good hiding spot! 🤯 Cool channel, new subscriber. Cheers from Texas! 👍🏻😀

[@SeaMonkeyDudeJon]

Thanks for watching! I'm glad you like the videos! I haven't seen them build a castle yet, but one of my Sea-Monkey tanks came with a castle in it. It looks pretty cool. I HAVE seen them play with little pieces of algae though. That's fun to watch.

[@IntrepidFraidyCat]

@@SeaMonkeyDudeJon I can easily believe they play. I just saw a video about bumblebees playing with little balls that the researchers provided. It was very interesting! I'm looking forward to watching your other videos!

[@vanissaberg5824]

That big tank is going to be super awesome once it's set up! I'd go with a dark fine sand so they'll really pop against a dark background and put a cool pirate ship decoration or something in there. Filtration I'd just go with a tiny fine sponge filter or just an air stone. I don't know the right salt level you need for sea monkeys but I'm sure you can buy a bag of aquarium salt and find a recipe to mix your own brine solution for it, then you'd top up evaporation with distilled water. Think of it as your first salt water tank. A test kit might come in handy as well. Next thing you know you'll be setting up a marine aquarium with Nemo! Lol

[@SeaMonkeyDudeJon]

It's set up! I started it in March of this year. Here is a playlist where you can see how it's gone so far: kzbin.info/aero/PLGrCJHHeZg-aXjxcN0RoaW7ssyrQDlgiS

[@leslievillacorte6552]

Great algae growth on your tanks. Me and my kid just started this 2 weeks ago and I'm yet to see any algae growing. We started seeing almost hundreds of babies but now only see 4 to 5 seamonkeys alive. How did you get the algae growing so well?

[@SeaMonkeyDudeJon]

For algae to first grow, it takes a long time. In my first few tanks it took 3-4 months. To help promote growth, keep the water warm and use lights. Plant grow lights out standard LEDs work well.

[@CreepX]

Keep pressing the bubble buttons. Its like a ketchup bottle tip... you have get enough pressure built up to pop it open. Killer set up!!

[@SeaMonkeyDudeJon]

Yeah, it actually worked for a day, then stopped. Some sort of air leak on the inside.

[@CreepX]

@@SeaMonkeyDudeJon oof... love the shuttle too. that big one is gonna be a lot of salt, all mine have been home made, but 16 oz at a time! Perfect for water bottles. Best of luck with that, ill be watching!

[@Naexie]

Have you ever considered setting up a 5 / 10 gallon tank colony for them? a sponge filter would add filtration / air without being too strong and they'd probably thrive, also terrariums come in many shapes / sizes and make good small planted tanks!

[@SeaMonkeyDudeJon]

I actually have the World's Largest Sea-Monkey Colony in a 16-gallon aquarium. Check it out here: kzbin.info/aero/PLGrCJHHeZg-aXjxcN0RoaW7ssyrQDlgiS I've got an air line in there, but no filter. Sea-Monkeys get sucked up into filters and die. Also, they are filter feeders, so it works actually be filtering out the tiny food particles that they eat.

[@pershop4950]

the babies feed on food in the water column so it's recommended not to have any kind of filter at all the adults can eat off surfaces as well as the water column but not necessarily when they're fighting a current (the filter/sponge sucking up all the food particles)

[@rilanajansen1794]

When you want to put the sea monkey's in there you have to put flymase at the inside of the filter. So they cant swim tru it. And some mountain like stone in the middle would be nice, like you put the treetrunk in one of the sea monkey's tanks. 🤗

[@SeaMonkeyDudeJon]

Thanks for watching!

[@jmgalaxytab2325]

Those tanks are deliciously dirty, full of healthy algae which means happy Artemia munching on it, also algae produce oxigen, I've even seen pockets of oxigen bubbles forming that were kept trapped below the mass of the algae. And the smaller the containers, the less problems you will have with oxigen, even on hot days, when water does not absorb oxigen that much, just as long as your surface area is big enough, you won't have issues, won't even need a bubbler...

[@donnabell1122]

Hey your lucky you can grow these monkeys I've tried when I was young iam older then you and I would love to try again

[@SeaMonkeyDudeJon]

Go for it!

[@Noa......]

I read in the instructions that I can aerate with a plastic spoon. If so, how much stirring, and how deep to put the spoon?

[@SeaMonkeyDudeJon]

It's not the ideal method, but it works. Just gently stir for a minute or so with the spoon close to the bottom of the tank.

[@Noa......]

It is okay. I found a syringe instead. Thanks for the response.​@@SeaMonkeyDudeJon

[@Nestol55]

Question. Do I have to put air to them or do they breath alone? How you make them food?

[@SeaMonkeyDudeJon]

You don't have to do anything. Aeration definitely helps them survive though. I don't make any good for them. I use Sea-Monkey brand foods, spirulina, and live phytoplankton.

[@sammy_sand_utubeyt6901]

I was wondering if you’ve ever had trouble with mosquitoes and open lid tanks? I would like to put the lid on my tanks but because of the usb heater I have going into it, it doesn’t really fit.

[@SeaMonkeyDudeJon]

I've never had any issues with mosquitoes.

[@pershop4950]

since the lid is plastic, it should be possible to drill a hole or use a soldering iron to make a hole that will fit the tubing

[@ddrha770]

Do baby sea monkeys get caught in the bubbles coming up from the pump and get spat out of or to the sides of the tank?

[@SeaMonkeyDudeJon]

I haven't seen this happen before but I guess it could be possible if you have your bubbles going way too hard. They shouldn't be going at full blast though

[@bullzdawguk]

I suspect the longer-lived sea monkeys have to do with the species of creature. They are much smaller sea monkeys that are in the other cheap tanks and only live for a few weeks, whereas the larger ones can survive for a year or more because the species can naturally. I'm sure I heard the man who invented them used a short-lived species in order to continue generating income from the idea. Like, you could buy "food packs" which were essentially a new batch of sea monkeys, which would effectively restock the tank and bring them back to life. Have you seen the Ecosphere? It's a sealed glass container with a combination of plant and animal. Apparently, they can last for a year or more and only needs a bit of light in order to keep the biosphere self-sufficient providing a food source for the tiny shrimp. However, you must only expose them to bright light for a limited number of hours a day, I believe. It appears you have a similar species in your long-lived tanks, the difference being, your tanks are not sealed off from the environment. Anyway, an Ecosphere would be a nice addition to your collection, providing another approach to your hobby. It's virtually maintenance free, and they come in all shapes and sizes.

[@bullzdawguk]

I searched for an Ecosphere on Amazon and Ebay after posting but couldn't find any. Perhaps the company went out of business. I couldn't find their site. If they have gone out of business, the Ecospheres I saw on sale a couple of years ago would have been exhausted on the market, which means they have all died. Maybe you'll have better luck.
