Hey I'm sorry to hijack the top comment but I'm hoping someone can answer a question I have? I have an old tank that I've been keeping in the window sill (everybody has died in it) and it's finally grown a decent amount of algae on the bottom. Would it be okay to empty the water, refill with spring water then start again with a new colony of sea monkeys? Any advice would be much appreciated thank you!

Heating elements and motors are cheap, and it could be advertised as a "truly self sustaining pet" or something like those kitchy ecospheres. That way, it would minimize user error... even if it would cost a bit more.

This video makes me sad. It’s a big flashing neon reminder of what could be possible with Sea-Monkey tanks and themed kits. The product is cool and, of course, the video is awesome, John … but, it’s also a great example of missed opportunities from the Sea-Monkey brand. How is it possible that Sea-Monkeys have been around for more than 60 years and we don’t have cool tank options like this available to purchase? SAD! If there is anyone out there who wants to see new tank designs, deluxe boxed themed kits, larger capacity tanks, vintage themed retro products, travel accessories like watches, USB powered additions like bubblers and heaters … voice your opinions. PLEASE!!! I know from behind-the-scenes conversations that the time is right, there is power in numbers and your expressed thoughts just might make a difference. PRETTY PLEASE!!!

Just a note about the Spongebob (and other licensed) betta tanks... PLEASE don't keep any fish in those!! Not betta fish, not guppies, not anything!!! You could MAYBE get away with some snails or shrimp in them, but these tanks are death boxes for fish!! Betta fish need a bare minimum of 3 gallons (I'm being very generous here; most people say the bare minimum is 5 gals), they need a heater, they need filtration, they need places to hide... these tanks really are NOT conducive to keeping bettas in!! Just because a betta can technically SURVIVE in one of them doesn't mean that it's going to THRIVE!!

But overall as a tank it works great and although the gap can trap the eggs the baby brine shrimp wouldn't have too much trouble getting out I think. But hey, no magnifying bubbles in the tank!

​​​@@pico-cosmosyeah, i can get them fairly easy, heres where it gets complicated, when i first got them was around 2015 i got a pretty old set, My booklet Even had some oxidized staples , i did a wayback machine on the site and found it was shut down fairly fast, interestingly their catalogue contained analogues to basically all the sea monkeys packets, plus packets designed for bigger aquariums, when a famous mexican KZbinr did a series during the pandemic of aqua dragons there was a Big resurgence of interest about it, SO much that they seemed to start making them again ive Even seen a tiktok that seems to belong to the brand 😆, usually the only kit obtainable is basically a starter kit with a box that sort of wants to ressemble an ocean Zoo, i have heard tales and drawing of Kits that actually look pretty cool, with a bigger tank probably a 1l dome, Mars or magicastle style tank, with a Submarine full of the gluupy characters, to me is one of the cooler "knock offs" the packets are actually using the same formula than the Harold pattent and they are actually made of plated aluminum, which gives them a way better feel, theres some old promotional material that looks like they wanted to launch a promo with mcdonald's, thats kind of what Made them legendary

So fun fact, I don't know if they still do this but I'm fairly certain at this time they were, Nickelodeon would license the Spongebob IP to dang near anybody for anything that could reasonably be marketed to kids. Nickelodeon didn't want to bother with putting in the work for toy manufacturing, so instead they created a WILDLY popular cartoon with companies practically begging to slap that sponge on everything possible. And it works! From kids microwave meals to the vitamins to replace what the meal was lacking, if you can name a household object there is almost certainly a Spongebob branded version of it available at some point in the US. There was even a line of Spongebob perfumes out recently that quite a few perfume collectors were saying were legitimate, good fragrances and not just kids play scents. This is probably the most normal Spongebob merchandise I could expect.

I've seen this on ebay a few times (maybe even at my local antique mall once!) but I don't think I've ever actually seen a review of it, pretty surprising that some of the eggs still hatched with how old it is

I like the idea of a modular approach, something that let you clip in different decor options would be good

The kit is cute, but I particularly love your larger natural tank that you briefly showed. How would you advise setting up a small tank (not standard size that comes in the kits) and how could I transfer my Sea Monkeys with some on their existing algae growth please??

Sea-Monkeys Ocean Volcano is my favourite starter kit 👌 Ocean Zoo is a good option too

Agree. Ocean-Volcano is a solid kit design. The wider design makes the pets easier to see and the textured substrate is good for algae growth.

I've been wanting a shrimp tank for so long but too broke to buy one with all the chemicals and live plants and substrate etc etc that you have to buy for them. This channel has me thinking I'm about to buy an airline kit, a little heater, and a children's sea monkey kit. Get myself a shrimp tank the size of a mason jar. Maybe not actually in a mason jar.

Is there a fixed ratio of salt particles to water, to grow a packet of sea monkey ? I have a 800ml tank and was wondering if that amount of water can support one packet of seamonkey eggs and one packet of salter and water purifier
@pico-cosmos
@pico-cosmos Жыл бұрын
Each Sea-Monkey starter kit only has enough salt for a maximum of 350ml of water, so for an 800ml tank it’s best to use 3 starter kits (6 pouches total)

also, looking at that tank-only version of the product, the image looked AI generated(or at least upscaled) so may be fake

You know, including a heater below the substrate of the "sand" would have been nice, as well as a hole in the lid for a bubbler.

I don't know if anyone mentioned it, but that picture at 1:20 is actually AI generated, at least partially. You can tell from how odd the text looks; the main reason it's almost legible at all is because it's generated from photos of all about the same item.
