Unboxing & review of the Sea-Monkey Ocean of Fun kit and Sea Diamonds.
In this video I do a detailed unboxing of the 1996 Monkeys Ocean of Fun tank from Exploratoy. The set comes with sea-diamonds, so I show exactly what they are and how they work in a tank of fully grown adult sea monkeys. I also show my robo-diver and nasa space shuttle tanks in this video, and give some tips for raising sea-monkeys and keeping them alive.

Someone in that factory was a genius. They took all the tiny bits of the plastic from making the tanks that would have been thrown out and sold a spoonful of trash for $1.00 ($.50s/h) because they called them “Sea Diamonds”.

I was absolutely terrified of SeaMonkeys for several years haha. The box art promising these strange humanoid sea creatures that could come out and interact with you gave me chills. I remember a box having a picture of a real child with a SeaMonkey sitting on their shoulder. 😂 But when I was about 10 or 11 years old this was my first and only SeaMonkey kit I ever owned. I foolishly took it to school one day and a girl in my class picked them up, tipped them over, and spilled half of the contents on to the floor. I was devastated and am still salty about it more than 20 years later lol 😂 thanks to your channel I am treating myself to another chance to keep SeaMonkeys.

You know, I’ve always wondered... what if the intent with Sea Diamonds was that, after sinking, they’d stay for a while and grow a light coating of aquarium floor algae? Then, in a few weeks, the water would evaporate, suspending little bits of food-covered particulate in the tank for sea monkeys to try and “burrow” at, which they sometimes do when there’s not enough suspended microalgae in the water. I wonder if a smarter modern approach like a neutrally buoyant algae-covered tetherball would capture the imagination of sea monkeys “playing” with their environment.

I think it was just a way to sell some of the plastic waste leftover from molding the tanks. It looks a lot like the plastic pieces that hold model car or plane parts together in a sheet in the box, which would occur when molding the sea monkey products as well.

This is the first Picocosmos video I watched (back when it was uploaded under your first channel name, btw). But this wasn't my first kit. It was more like my 20th. And I was SO disappointed by the "Sea Diamonds" - something I'd been curious about for years, due to the fanciful description in the old manuals. These shapeless bits of dull plastic were nothing like a diamond or cut gem, which I was expecting, & my sea-monkeys didn't cavort or interact in any way with them. This was the first sea-monkey product I threw away in anger, actually. And this coming from someone who (back in the fifth grade!) somehow got over the discovery that sea-monkeys themselves are nothing like their promotional illustrations. The fun of hatching & raising them is something I can't explain, but totally buy into, whereas these "Sea Diamonds" really bothered me, & I didn't like the feeling that I'd been scammed. However, I did like the unusual day-glo tank, so it wasn't a complete loss. Sorry for the rant, I just really couldn't justify marketing which was THAT misleading. Still love sea-monkeys to this day, though. And this awesome channel!

@@pico-cosmos to be completely honest, idk how it happened. All of them died out after 2 years but I just kept the tank there and in about a month there were babies. Although, I feel like this isn’t sustainable. The gene pool doesn’t get any variation. I have no food. I heard you can feed them yeast. I tried some boiled egg yolk and I guess it helped cause a lot grew up. Always wanted to make a really nice tank for them though. Anyways, pretty awesome you made a channel for sea monkeys. You had passion, and just went for it. And your channel is getting pretty well put together. If sea monkey videos start to get stagnant, there’s a few other “instant life” pets. Trilobites. Heck maybe you can review plant “toys” as well. Best wishes.

I remember being so let down as a kid in the 70's. I had seen the ads in every comic book for my "whole life"... and when I FINALLY got permission to order some... I couldn't help being felt robbed. My expectations were SO HIGH... Now, as an adult, I found NeoCaridina Dwarf Shrimp... and I couldn't be happier. It's not as easy as the Sea Monkeys... but it's not that much harder either. I even think it would be cool to use the Neo shrimp in the Sea People City Scapes. They have very low oxygen requirements, and it should work equally as well for them, once the tank has aged properly.

I still have my big yellow handbook too, I have a box of sea monkey stuff, thats where I had found my old packets, Im not sure exactly how old they are, but I think around at least 15-20 years. Possibly more, I don't remember if I had brought them with me from my old house or bought them while living in this one. i do know I had ordered them though I think through the mail by using the ordering instructions on the back and the copyright date on the back of the packets was 1979, I know they aren't that old, at least i don't think so but who knows. Anyways I have counted 3 so far from the old eggs, when they get big enough I am going to add them to my half gallon tank. It will be interesting to see if the newer ones get bigger. I might leave them in the ocean zoo till they are full adult to see if these old timers are the same size or not.

Have you done a review of the original Sea Monkey Executive Set? It had a black Ocean Zoo, it was later replaced with the gold Ocean Zoo. I had one, but I can only find one other photo online.

That's the old manual from the 80s/early 90s but maybe they didn't talk about Sea-Diamonds except in the catalog section. And yeah, the large scoop was for adults.

Could the sea diamonds be helpful for more growing area for bacteria and algae?

It could help a tiny bit, but the difference would be negligible

I guess the "sea diamonds" are good for them as a substrate to filter the poop to the bottom, and surface area for algea to grow on? I guess?

Question : if your sea monkeys are doing well, would you recommend putting in the sea diamonds if you got them?

I wouldn't as sea diamonds are just bits of unused plastic that the factory had.
