Biggest con in childhood history. I was like 5 or 6 when I got these as a gift. I totally thought they were going to wear suits and tie while driving a Chevy to work. So disappointing.

Partially true. The second packet does contain more eggs. I used just that packet to refill the tank. Pack one just has some eggs yeah

Interesting! Thanks for enlightening us. We were wondering why it produced a bluish color when we poured in the egg packet. Weird.

No the second pack has more eggs the eggs in the first pack is to make it seem like they hatch instantly

@Brian Nicely it is true, just look at the patent.

Dude how big are the eggs because I went ahead and decided to smash the bigger bits of the “purifier” and now I’m like,, concerned lol did I accidentally kill some ?

[@getmeouttahere3595]

Waahh. I had got this as a christmas present when I was around 7. I was so excited because the pictures showed this whole sea monkey kingdom where there was a family and it evem showed them doing sports!! So i thought i was going to het this cool new family hahaha. Plus, i thought they would grow to be life size and i remember i was worried because the container was too small. They grew for about 10 days when my mom accidently knocked them over my math book 😂 i cried so hard, and I remember that there were dead sea monkeys all over my book

This was marketing at its finest they used to depict a cool looking little colony of family sea monkeys and as a kid I would think this was going to be the coolest thing ever I was going to have a little family in my room and I could talk to them and everything. Needless to say I was greatly disappointed. That was my first lesson in marketing 101.

Don't forget to aerate the tank, blow bubbles in it using a long pipette or turkey baster multiple times a day They die much quicker if you don't aerate and they ran out of oxygen

[@Our80sLife]

Thanks for the tip!

[@janetvargas9520]

I used to get mine from the little coupon on the back of comic books. It was $1.50 and you had to fill out and mail the coupon in. One packet of Sea Monkeys came with nothing else and they little gritty looking things just floated around in the jar (some sank) and I just ended up pouring them out. Kept doing this a few more times before I gave up on them. Still love them, though, now I have found out they are brine shrimp and should have come with food and instructions. I think water conditioner too.

[@chazcov08]

Hey guys! Interesting fact about Sea Monkeys: The day 1 "purifier" is actually salt, since they are BRINE shrimp, and this package actually contains the eggs. They will hatch within that first 24-48 hours, so when you add package 2, the baby shrimp are already hatched and there, and that blue dye will make them more visible. This is why they say that they're instant. I always got these when I was a kid, too!

[@Our80sLife]

Interesting! They are quite miraculous little creatures. Our original batch (seen in this video) is now almost 1.5 years old and still doing great! They're the most low-maintenance pets ever... you can go one a week-long cruise, and they don't even need a pet sitter, lol!

[@Revy8]

Sea monkeys were my first experience with expectations from marketing not being in line with reality. Thank you Sea monkeys. The lesson I learned was worth millions more then the few $ I spent on the kit

I just bought myself a kit today. Im 47 btw. Mine cost like $19. Anyway, I bought these myself at around age 7 1/2, with my own money that i had earned selling greeting cards. Let me correct that, I bought them with points. Depending on how many points you got from selling cards, you then select your winnings. I knew what i wanted! Well! We had moved to a new state. But, I was still determined. I had dreams of those little alien underwater people coming to life and having parties! Boy was i disappointed! But! They still were cool. The females carried eggsacks on their backs. Despite the disappointment, i had had a fascination. Then in years to come, I then volunteered at a sea aquarium. Low and behold, one of my jobs was to feed the jelly fish. Their food was brine shrimp. (Sea monkeys) Anyway, i bought these today to remind me of a time when I felt independent and excited to be working. Im also working towards an employment goal. I just hope that, at this point in life, it wont be another let down. Hell, if it is, maybe it will at least be as fascinating as sea monkeys!

Sea monkeys are known as Artemia and it is a good source of protein for guppies.

[@mochimonster3880]

Edit: Don't read if you don't want to get the fun spoiled. The sad thing about these "sea monkeys" are that: 1. theyre just artemia. kind of similar to tiny shrimp.2. The "water purifier" actually contains eggs too. the eggs already hatch by the time you open and pour in the 2nd packet. The second packet not only contains more eggs, but also contains blue dye which creates the illusion of the sea monkeys coming to life right then and there when in fact they were already hatched, just very hard to see.

I saw another vlog where he had an air stone set with low pressure so not too much - temperature wise you should be able to use a thermometer for an aquarium

[@Our80sLife]

We actually didn't aerate our tank, just followed the instructions that came with it. Best of luck!!

[@MaxItUpwithMarta]

Omg! I remember those sea monkies.

My cat got on the shelf and knocked them over and the lid came off and my sister was so upset because they died

[@Our80sLife]

Thanks Dulce! I was very skeptical because I had such poor results as a kid, but our Sea Monkeys are still doing great!

[@Therealofficalspongy]

They played tricks call be dead it was so cool

[@robinj.9329]

Some 25 or 30 years ago, our "Sea Monkeys" were a different species of Critter! These new ones look a bit like centipedes with all there flexing legs. But my "Original" kits looked more like a tiny, transparent Water Flea! And just once, we got them to grow HUGE. They were about the size of a quarter, untill the cat decided to investigate by tipping them out! All over the kitchen counter!

[@Our80sLife]

Interesting!! Oh no, that dang cat though! Thanks for stopping by our channel and watching our video Robin!

[@Sandwichscoot]

I found a bootleg sea monkeys kit at target, and I’m currently waiting for them to hatch!

[@Our80sLife]

Interesting! Let us know how it goes, and good luck!

I remember ordering ALOT of things from comic book ads in late 70s.It was MADDENING having to wait 4 to 6 weeks to get the goods.😂😂.As most people I thought the same...The pics of the Sea Monkey family is what I was going to get.lol.Now they have "sea monsters" or Triops.Now THOSE are cool.Acttually get about a inch long.Grow them the same way.Kinda look like mini horseshoe crabs.

[@Our80sLife]

Interesting! We've never heard of those, but they do sound cool! Thanks Michael :)

Thank you!

My older brothers were such jerk faces when we were growing up. When I was a youngster, they though it would be funny and they drank my sea monkeys. I was so sad and they laughed and laughed.

[@Our80sLife]

That's awful!! Also, yuck!!!

[@CodFishOfficial]

Plot twist: the sea monkeys are eating them from the inside

[@staceyking7911]

@@CodFishOfficialNow, that is indeed instant KARMA, KARMA and MORE karma!!

[@staceyking7911]

How, evil of them, number one, what they did was animal cruelty and number two, they expressed ABSOLUTELY no remorse by means of getting some comic relief out of your sorrow😠😭😭 SHAME 😤N THOSE WICKED BROTHERS OF YOURS!!

[@Yudit346]

When I had sea monkeys as a kid I always followed the directions closely, but I think the directions caused me to overfeed. Any tricks on not overfeeding?

[@Our80sLife]

We only feed our Sea Monkeys once per week, and just use the tiny scoop provided with the kit. That's literally it! Also, once your tank has been going for a few weeks, you'll notice some green algae forming at the bottom. The Sea Monkeys also use that as a food source so they're very self-sufficient if they survive the critical first phase. Hope this helps!

[@Yudit346]

@@Our80sLife I will try this, thank you so much!

[@LoguesLife]

Fun video guys, easy to go a little viral there, nice job! I think I’m going to order sea monkeys for the kids for Easter baskets, or something like that. Maybe the crystals one? Btw, Keith makes a great sea monkey dad, they did awesome! it must be because he’s so nurturing. - Shadd 🌊 🐒 🐒 🪨

[@Our80sLife]

Thanks Shadd! The company that makes Sea Monkeys actually reached out to us, and they're sending us some sort of prize pack. Can't wait to see what we get!

[@persag7354]

when the bag of food is finished what do you put in them?

[@Our80sLife]

The Sea Monkey food will last a LONG time because you only feed them a very tiny bit each week. If you do run out, you can order more from the Sea Monkeys website (or wherever you bought your tank.)
