Sea monkeys my brother wants them for his birthday I want to get them for him (see details)2007-11-24 23:40:13

I'm not sure what their are all about. I mean come on we all know that you have to put them in water and watch them grown. but I want to know how long they live. I looked them up. but all it said was that they would reproduce and all this other stuff. So if they reproduce. do I need to buy a bigger tank. is this going to be a huge project that I should avoid. is it like fish? or what. could someone please help me for experience only. I don't want any references to a web page. if you've had them or have them let me know how it was.. thanks

Answers:

As others have mentioned they are brine shrimp. They can be hatched easily from eggs you mail order or buy at a pet shop. Not sure if he will enjoy them or not - obviously they aren't little monkey-like people like the comic book pictures usually show.

You may also want to consider a triops

If your search for 'triops' at Amazon.com you'll see lots of kits. They don't live long either but are bigger and interesting .

They're just brine shrimp. They live and die relatively quickly, but because they reproduce at a high rate, he'll never notice which ones die and which ones are being born. They're relatively boring, but not a difficult project in the least

they're brine shrimp they don't reproduce quickly, my son had them in the fish tank that came with them they were cool and he enjoyed them very much.

They are brine shrimp. They are little and wiggle around in the water. They do not look like monkeys but some clever advertising guy realized that would make them sell.
