Customer Review: The Ultimate Cubicle Pet! =)
Summary: 5 Stars
For all you cube dwellers out there- get these pets! I was planning on getting a beta (fish) for my cubicle, but then I realized they are much to high maintenance, and take up too much room. I recently purchased a Sea Monkeys Magic Castle, and now they're happily swimming on top of my computer! What's even better is the novelty of it all...everyone stops by to see the little buggers swimming! I've been collecting Sea Monkey kits since I was 8, and can honestly say that with the right care, they'll live for as long as it says, up to two years. And you have to love the manual with it's explanations for everything. I'll often get bored at work, whip out the manual, and learn a little more about my brine shrimp! The closest thing Sea Monkeys can be compared to one of those bio-dome glass habitats that you see everywhere, except more colorful, refillable, and MUCH cheaper (I think they're better)! I'm sure my co-workers will LOVE mating season... They're the best thing since sliced bread. Come on...Instant Pets? Who could pass that up?Customer Review: Fun activity
Summary: 5 Stars
We received this sea monkey kit for Christmas (my daughter is five)and our sea monkeys are thriving. Everything we needed, (except 2 AA batteries for the light), came with the kit. The instruction/information booklet goes into great detail and then the instructions are paraphrased on each packet which are in turn clearly numbered as to the order in which they are to be used. (there is a packet for the eggs, one for the food, one for the water conditioner etc.) We are having fun watching them grow so quickly and in addition my daughter is having fun (and learning a lot) keeping track on the calendar when the sea monkeys need to be fed, when 'plasma' needs to be added etc. and charting how big the sea monkeys are getting.
This is definitely not the kind of pet that would rate as high as a puppy or a pony, but its the kind of activity that will teach children patience and appreciation for the little things
Older children could easily use this kit without adult supervision and for the younger ones it's a fun family activity.

Customer Review: Sea Monkeys - The Secret to Life
Summary: 5 Stars
Sea Monkeys are not just a toy, but will teach children of all ages how life is created. From the confines of your Aquatic Zoo you will see spring forth to life some of the most fantastic creatures ever to behold your eyes. These are the Amazing Sea Monkeys. Some folks will say, "oh those are just brine shrimp." No, these are the real deal - Sea Monkeys. Straight from their magic origins these little sea creatures will bring you hours upon hours of joy. Yes, you can keep Sea Monkeys for years, and boy they can get big as well. I've heard it rumoured that some can even get as big as large mice or even hamsters, though they won't when you keep them within their included habitat. I expect that one day I'll come home to see one of my monkeys sitting at my desk working the computer. No doubt surfing the web looking for more Sea Monkey information at sea-monkeys.com. Get it, grow it, live it, and experience the breathtaking life of Sea Monkeys - oh how those Sea Monkeys will bring you joy.Customer Review: Low maintenance, fun pet that lasts forever, unless...
Summary: 4 Stars
My friend gave me this toy approx. a year ago. I thought the toy would be neat for a little while, but I never thought I would grow to love it. The sea-monkeys are born instantly the minute you put the eggs in the water. After that, they require very little care; the packet of food included in the kit lasted me for almost a year now. They are always fun to watch. Over the past year, I think I have approximately 3 to 4 generations of sea-monkeys. The very last batch I have, even though they were young adults and still have at least a few more months lifespan, unfortunately all died this week (7/12/99) because of an unusually hot day. Everyday, I put them out in the sun because they love it. I never thought an extremely hot day would kill them. Since I am addicted to them now, I will mail order more eggs (or the manual says I can just let the water evaporate naturally, and when I add water again, more would be born. It's very educational. Try it.)
