Sea-Monkeys Magic Castle | Unboxing & Review!

[@pico-cosmos]

Congrats to @ashburger9082 for winning the giveaway for this video 🥳

[@sentimentalexis]

i'm honestly really fond of the crystal blue japanese/modern variant tank. that castle color is just so elegant!

[@EddVCR]

Same, I think the glitter in the transparent blue looks really nice.

[@TheHoboPig]

Man I just can't stop watching these Sea-Monkey videos, these are so relaxing

[@pico-cosmos]

Thanks! There are some other great Sea-Monkey KZbinrs too, check out Sea Monkey Dude when you have a chance 👌

[@TheHoboPig]

@@pico-cosmos will do!

[@edward002gaming]

Same because of it i want a sea monkey

[@nanoyusof]

The crystal blue one looks amazing! Just got one off amazon and it’s day 5, my son is so excited on feeding them! “Mommy, can we open packet number 3 now??” I’m so glad to be able to share my love of sea monkeys with my boy! Hopefully the sea monkeys make it for generations to come!

[@video-warehouse-s8973]

I love this channel, you hear about how sea monkeys have disappointed people, but you do an excellent job showing how they are amazing animals to care for by their own merits. Out of the three tanks here I was surprised to end up thinking the transparent castle is my favorite version, it looks so nice when the algae grows on it!

[@pico-cosmos]

I hear that a lot too, but with proper care it’s not too difficult to keep them healthy. It took me a few tries to get things right though 😅 I think the transparent castle looks great with algae too! That was my least favourite tank before trying them out, but I’m definitely a convert now

[@gulliblesbabbles]

Nicely done, John. I was so excited when I came upon that original 1999 kit for sale - knowing how much you wanted it and that it was the thing holding up production on this video. I have sentimental attachments to the original, just because of my association with ExploraToy at the time. But my favorite of the three is the crystal blue castle. I think it’s beautiful and agree with you about making the Sea-Monkeys easier to see. I do wish however that it was a translucent crystal purple castle in keeping with the Sea-Monkeys castle home for five-plus decades. The domed kits are so popular but I generally don’t like them. I prefer the traditional Ocean-Zoo tanks and variations thereof. That probably has a lot to do with my age. What it boils down to is any new or different Sea-Monkey kit is exciting and needed for the collection. Again, very nicely done. - Tod

[@pico-cosmos]

I’m so thankful you managed to find that tank! This video would’ve definitely been incomplete without it. A transparent purple castle would definitely be a good idea 👌 it’s cool seeing the evolution this tank has gone through over the years. Who knows where it’ll go next 💫 I like the themed designs of the domed tanks, I’d love to see something similar in an Ocean Zoo shape. I’m excited to review the ghostly gallion set soon, I love the sunken ship in there! Thanks for the kind words regarding the video. Now on to the next one 🎥

[@gulliblesbabbles]

@@pico-cosmos : Ghostly Galleon. There’s another one that has been reincarnated so many times in so many ways. There are TONS of variations. So many so that I don’t know what all happened when. I know what the first iteration was … if I can find it. I must still have a few SM boxes in storage that never made it to bins. Anyways, that’ll be a fun and meaty video for you to produce. I was involved with ExploraToy then so Gregory should have some insight into that. 👍👍👍

[@pico-cosmos]

@@gulliblesbabbles Yeah I've barely looked into those sets yet, but from what I've seen it seems like the variations and re-brandings are endless. I actually remember always wanting one as a kid but never getting it, so it'll be like fulfilling a childhood dream when I finally get around to it 🙌

[@timbefer532]

Picocosmo have you ever had difficulty with setting up tanks.

[@Segafishy]

@@gulliblesbabbles I definately would look forward to that one, being a Pirate loving kid it was a 50/50 between it and the Shuttle and I'm praying I still have it and its intact somewhere in my parents loft so I can use it again.

[@StormDatIsApproaching]

Found your channel scrolling through shorts and was instantly hooked. You're everything edutainment used to be in the prime days of discovery, animal planet and PBS. It's charismatic, unique, informative and playful with a high production and very relaxing tone. Incredibly professional too for just a KZbin channel

[@pico-cosmos]

Thanks man! I really appreciate that :) I’m still a bit of a newbie with KZbin but trying to improve these videos as quickly as I can. Glad to hear you’re enjoying them : )

[@felidlune]

I love how much passion you have for sea monkeys from the sea monkeys themselves to the art and history that come with the brand. I think the blue Crystal castle is my favourite set so far!

[@gaillupia4533]

Great job of explaining sea monkeys, I’m 64 and would love to win a sea monkey castle so I’m keeping my fingers crossed I’m alone so it would be so cool to watch them grow and thrive!!!

[@StrikerV3]

Never thought I’d get so enthralled in watching videos about sea monkeys

[@pico-cosmos]

Lol they're strangely addictive little things huh! Have you ever tried raising them before?

[@Raenaece]

The crystal blue one definitely is my favourite design. I like how it's subtle so it doesn't draw all the attention away from the sea monkeys

[@pico-cosmos]

That's a really good point actually! Didn't even think about that but it's definitely easier to focus on the Sea-Monkeys in the crystal blue tank

[@copland]

Glad I bought the standard tank before they disappeared! But the clear blue version looks so pretty!

[@pico-cosmos]

I have a feeling that in a few years finding those standard magic castle tanks will be pretty hard to come by! Definitely like this new blue castle version though, it’s a nice change

[@sin-8]

Yess! A new sea-monkey video. I'm actually a little glad the clear version is coming to the west since it's quite nice.

[@pico-cosmos]

I’ve had so many people tell me this is their favourite of the 3 tanks. I got my Japanese one a few months back and it cost me $100 😅 definitely glad to see it’s becoming more widely available

[@Rmzullo]

Same! I’ve wanted the clear castle tank for ages!

[@lexallyceex]

At the start of the video I liked the tank with the colorful castle and once you actually tested them out I really enjoyed the clear crystal castle. I so appreciate the care you put into your videos and how educational and entertaining they are! Fantastic as usual!

[@pico-cosmos]

This was basically the same journey I went on, I preferred the pink castle tank before using them and then towards the end the crystal blue castle really grew on me :) Thanks for the kind words about the video 🙏 glad to hear you’re enjoying the content

[@countessoflemongrab]

I absolutely adore the pink and blue castle. It looks like it's made out of wooden blocks - so charming!

[@tigerlily1469]

Your content inspires me to keep expanding my sea monkey collection, it's so addictive.

[@pico-cosmos]

Haha glad I’m not the only one 😅 how many tanks do you have at the moment?

[@tigerlily1469]

@@pico-cosmos I'm newer to the hobby, just 4 tanks and 1 nursery, but I think I need to add that castle to my collection ASAP

[@markbasilejr9808]

I really appreciate the care taken to ensure your brine shrimp are thiving. Looking forward to watching the On Mars review next.

[@chucklesticmccormick5828]

Aw man, its awesome that they are letting the new crystal design circulate more! the blue shade is really killer and the see through is way better for visibility, i feel like the only trap ot doesnt fall into is the issue of size tbh

[@wesleye.6009]

Love the clear blue castle! Super cute

[@varun76890]

I haven't thought about the sea monkeys since childhood but I have been enjoying your videos a lot, I might just buy a new set again after all these years!

[@pico-cosmos]

It's never too late to get back into the hobby!

[@waltermanson999]

I've been wanting a magic castle since I was a kid, I haven't seen the crystal castle until just recently and I NEED it ! I'm really glad it's now available, although I still haven't been able to find one, Hopefully soon !

[@awildvaporeon391]

Im also glad they made the crystal blue castle now the standard,the Japanese magic castle was my grail of sea-monkey tanks.

[@pico-cosmos]

Have you managed to get one yet?

[@awildvaporeon391]

@@pico-cosmos not yet-i do want to still save up and try to nab the Japanese one still in box for display and get the new crystal blue one to use!

[@emrisrex]

Im surprised at how I'm still so interested in sea monkeys, first had them when I was 9, now I'm 56 and still fascinated 🤣🤣🤣

[@trashman11]

I have to say my favorite is the Japanese set, very happy they made the crystal blue the standard

[@fluffzone6100]

You're going crazy with these videos. So much good quality content coming at a quick pace! 🥳

[@pico-cosmos]

Thanks! I honestly feel like I’m not making them fast enough at the moment 😅 good to hear you’re enjoying them though

[@SonicFan2525]

Really been looking forward to this one! I think it was my childhood love of fairytales and medieval imagery, but this has always been one of my favorite designs. I think I like the 1990s version the most because of how retro the base looks, but the modern version is just as cool. The Japanese crystal tank is such a unique take on it and gives it a more "magic" feel too. I definitely want to get into raising Sea Monkey's soon and this will probably be my tank of choice. Thanks for making such informative content!

[@pico-cosmos]

That’s a good point! I didn’t touch on the fairytale aspect here but it’s clearly where the inspiration has come from. The ‘99 magic castle tank is so tiny but the small size makes it really cute, I think I just prefer the brighter colours of the new tanks. Good luck with your Sea-Monkeys when you get them and feel free to reach out if you have any questions

[@CosmicLeopardKayla]

I really like the look of the algae growing on the castle, reminds me of moss and vines.

[@pico-cosmos]

So true! I bet it'll keep looking better with time as more algae grows

[@skeekersh1179]

I love this video, super excited to see the older set. I have one of the old Magic Castles but nothing seemed to live long in it. I'm trying again though and using your videos as a guide

[@pico-cosmos]

Good luck! Using a heater & airline should really help you out 👌

[@BeckyA59]

Very cool! I never tried sea monkeys. I like that clear crystal castle, you can get a better view of the little swimmers

[@victoriadimaunahan3283]

The set are so cute ngl and the fact that some of them are transparent would mean it would really go well with rgn lights and stuff aesthetic

[@pico-cosmos]

Oo that’s true! I never thought of that. Would be cool if they made a little LED lid for this tank

[@Crabbycrustycrustacean]

Brilliant video yet again. I think out of all of them my personal favorite would have to be a tie between the original and the Japanese variant. I look forward to seeing more tanks in the future.

[@biscuitmessiah1774]

I’ve just got my first sea monkeys after wanting some for years and your videos have been so helpful thank you!

[@cooperationiskey]

Your videos are so professional and beautiful, I really enjoy each and every one. It's so cool that you got your hands on all three variants to compare them; I now really want to get that crystal variant but also need to pull the trigger on finally ordering the other before it's gone--thanks for that heads up!

[@pico-cosmos]

Thanks man! Really appreciate that. I’m trying to get better with my camera work so it’s great to hear that people are noticing :) yeah I’s definitely recommend getting the pink castle version soon, it will likely be gone within a few months

[@yurei_re2838]

I've been watching this channel for close to a year now and I can't help but be entertained learning about these sea monkey tanks, I always assumed they made them in the default tanks we always see but it's cool seeing these products and learning more about these small creatures, doing an amazing job as always!!

[@pico-cosmos]

Thanks for being an OG watcher of the channel 🙌 appreciate your support mate

[@ZephirahStar]

Thanks so much for showing all three! I love the transparent one. It has such a nice, clean look to it.

[@RivetingMaterial]

That translucent castle is a really nice touch, makes the algae growth look extremely interesting!

[@fikanera838]

The crystal castle tank is my favourite of all the tanks I've seen so far. 🩵 I found your channel a few nights ago, & am very happily binge-watching all your videos. I remember sea monkey ads in comics in the 1970s, & they didn't appeal to me at all then, but I'm really enjoying learning all about them now! Best wishes from Czechia 🇨🇿

So nice, I really love this blue castle design, and the sea monkeys on mars too, those two are my favorite, they’re design are so beautiful and detailed.

[@pico-cosmos]

Me too! I wish they'd make a themed design similar to these in an Ocean Zoo tank shape, would be a great combo

[@kenmcguire2427]

Another great video. Keep going! I was never interested in the Magic Castle Tank, but the new transparent blue is pretty cool! That said, The Sea Monkeys on Mars Tank is my all time favorite.

[@justicierodelaliga]

I love animals. Through the years I´ve had from dogs and cats to parrakeets and even iguanas. Some I even forget I had. For instance, I forget I owned an Ant Farm...and Sea Monkeys. That was in the 90s. So glad this channel exists so it stays relevant.

[@kaitokaitoV1]

i love the transparent castle version, colorful transparent plastics are a huge favorite of mine :)

[@MSGT_Johnson]

I find watching any sea creature swim very relaxing. They look so graceful.

[@chunkecheeks]

the crystal castle is absolutely my favorite! the way the light bounces off of it almost makes it glow and i love that you can see the sea monkeys swimming through it! it's got a really ethereal look to it

[@Edzilla]

I really love these videos taking a detailed look into the small details and minutia of the products released over the years! I think they should make more themed tanks like this, it would really make each set up feel more unique and interesting

[@pico-cosmos]

I totally agree! I'm always asking them to make new novelty tanks, no luck yet though 😅

[@triptichanda]

This has been a great channel to help me with this! I discovered sea monkeys after moving to the US for my masters degree last year and your channel has been a great inspiration for getting them as the cutest companions for me here!

[@waltermanson999]

Your channel is mostly responsible for my current obsession with Sea Monkeys. I'm getting a Magic Castle for my birthday and I couldn't be any more excited. I'm just really afraid they'll die 😖. Your channel has definitely increased my understanding and as a result their chances of survival so thank you so much ! This is probably a dumb question, I think I probably know the answer already, but in your opinion how likely is long term survival if their tank is kept at a stable 17º. I'm thinking about getting a heater but it would be my preference to keep their set up more simple, but I also don't want to stress them out/ give them a miserable cold life. I should probably just get a heater i'm thinking. Thanks so much again for all your content. It's tiding my over until the little water babies come. Cheers!

[@pico-cosmos]

Hey :) thanks for supporting the channel man! 17° is a bit chilly.. I don’t like to see their tank dip below 20°C so I’d definitely recommend getting a USB aquarium heater 👌 good luck!

[@pico-cosmos]

Haha thanks! Honestly your story isn't all that uncommon, I've had a bunch of people tell me their tanks have been knocked over 😅 Sometimes I think they need to come with a wider base

I've never really been interested in sea-monkeys. Until I found your channel. This is fantastic work you're doing here.

[@pico-cosmos]

Glad to hear that :) How'd you find the channel?

[@casserCOM]

@@pico-cosmos I was recommended the video "Are sea monkeys real?" via the KZbin algorithm. I occasionally watch videos on "strange" animals and "strange" history. Sea Monkeys are an interesting topic. From both an evolutionary standpoint, as well as their somewhat controversial rise towards pop-culture superstardom. Not only are many people unaware of what these creatures even are (or even knew if they truly existed, as many children had been given kits with eggs that had never hatched), those who were aware of their presence look back on the experience of raising Sea Monkeys with fondness and nostalgia. It also helps that the history of Sea Monkeys has been controversial, with many children expecting literal monkeys or sea-people to appear in the tanks. Also the fact that Harold von Braunhut was a bit of a twisted individual makes for interesting discussion.

[@pico-cosmos]

Ah yeah that video seems to be doing well recently 👍 It’s great seeing that so many people share my interest for them, and you’re totally right! Their twisted history and unusual marketing make them that much more wacky

[@JillFrostOfficialPH]

Just recently found your channel and it made me want to start keeping sea monkeys. I’m all new to this since sea monkeys are not a thing in the country where I used to live but watching your videos and guides helped me learn stuff about them and I’m planning to keep some in the near future. tysm❤️

[@pico-cosmos]

That’s so great to hear :) good luck with your new pets

[@Rmzullo]

Great video as usual! Definitely interesting to see the progression of this tank design. While I do prefer the larger tank size of the newer sets, I much prefer the actual tank design of the original. I wish the original set had the bigger tank! Anyway, keep up the good work!

I love your videos - new to sea monkeys, and recently bought a new style magic castle for my first set! Keep it up

[@pico-cosmos]

Oh nice! I guess this video is good timing you for then huh 🙌 good luck with your Sea-Monkeys

[@charlottelay8220]

@@pico-cosmos yes! I’m on day 8 so seeing definite progress, and I’ve even converted my fiancé to the sea monkey team! He didn’t know why I’d bought them originally but is a big fan of “our lil sea monkey dudes”

My hubby loves these! He watches all your videos 🥰

Aw that's so nice of him! Glad he's enjoying the content :)

Honestly the crystal blue castle is just a cool look, the color just really pops!
