I had some of these about 20 years ago, I put them in a 5 gallon aquarium tank with about a gallon of water from the creek that was just down the hill from where I lived. I also used the tank filter and aerator, they seemed to love to play in the bubble stream. When the prepackaged food ran out I bought regular fish food, they thrived on that. They lived for about three months, when the last one died I let the tank dry out. When the tank had dried completely I added more of the creek water and sure enough there were new hatchlings.
I've been thinking about getting some of these, could you answer some of my questions if you have time? Did they seem more active at day or night? Do they smell bad?
@@DiamondDovesArt From what I remember they did not seem to care if it was day or night, they seemed to be active all the time. I don't remember them having a smell except when I was letting the tank dry out, it had a fishy smell to it so I put it out on my screened in porch. After it dried completely it had a smell similar to potting soil.
I had a pack of sea monkeys, i grew them. one day i got home, everything was dead, i was devastated, but one wasnt actually dead, nor was she not the only one, she had just gave birth, they feasted on the dead and fought each other, holy hell awasnt that cool
they are attracted to lights so its better to feed them near light source, also they have cannibalistic tendencies so they'll eat other to grow bigger (the biggest will eat the smaller one)
the small ones may have been artemia, put in the pack with the triops eggs as live food for the triops when they hatch.. would deffinatly explain why the triops grew 3 times their own size in one day and the others mysteriously dissapeared. plus their swimming characteristics are completely different to the bigger ones that hatched in the first 24 hours. you would think they live by the same rules as all other species of creature that tend to lay eggs all the same size so should all hatch the same size.. just a theory
I have memories of my mom and dad getting me this kit or something similar. Completely forgot about it until this video. I was really into Dinos as a kid. I think they got the kit from hobby lobby.
I love these guys. Had a full on tank set up to get a colony going, but the water quality was always abysmal. Not sure what causes the extreme cloudiness (my best guess is the shed molts?) but they seem to do just fine in it. I got my eggs from a breeder in Germany and used shrimp pellets to feed them. Guys got so big, they'd lay on their backs and hold the pellet with their legs. Makes me wanna do another tank just for them
Later on if these don't lay eggs, you might buy eggs from a "breeder" so eggs that were layed by their triops. There are different varieties of triops that need different temperatures, so you can choose a variety that fits your environment best. That's what i used to do and they thrived 🥰
I found one of these kits in my garage and it had been sitting there for a long time. I put water in it and didn't expect it to actually hatch but I was so surprised they hatched
I had bought one of these kits about 20 years ago. One of my guys hatched way earlier than the others and he ended up eating all of the others. I was devastated, but maybe one day I'll try again with a more customized setup.
ok I have to assume whichever get slightly bigger naturally will eat the smaller ones and once one manages to eat one other sibling, they likely grow quickly and can eat most of the others. Maybe you could get more triops to start out with by keeping them separate while growing or possibly multiple tanks. Maybe that's what kept these animals so strong and fit to survive for millions of years. The weaker ones simply get cannibalized.
I remember these! They were my favorite little animals. Unfortunately my cat Speckle was trying to get a good look at them one day (she loved watching them( and accidentally knocked the tank over. I also found out that day that putting them in correct conditions bath water wasn't gonna save them, as they die when they're taken out of water.
Like any creature that lives in an aquarium it only makes sense to have some gentle filtration even if the kit does not even mention that...that would really help keeping that water from getting so "dusty" looking, and a small heater.. a bubble stone would prob be a good idea too...with those three relatively cheap additions they could probably live for quite some time. Thanks very much for making this video...are you going to do another tank of them? P.S...buying a small bag of aquarium sand and just putting in a small amount would help to bulk up the "floor of the tank too.
I had one of the supper small super basic kits for these when i was a kid, i didnt know you had to wait a few days and i got super depressed that they werent ready to go and wound up flushing em. Kinda depressed more that i didnt understand that when i was younger.
I thought that I heard a cat. Of course it is jealous. Your attention was not on him or her. What did you expect! Nice cat. Great videos. Greetings from Dimboola in Victoria, Australia.
Mine die in just 3 days.... Today, on my second try, I found that my only triops was dead. pH, ammonia, fine. Maybe too much food for a single pup? I only insert the tip of a toothpick every 24 hours. I'm very upset that I didn't get it, I had a heater and lighting in the last tank, but I didn't have a filter and an oxygenator. My next attempt will be with a tank with an oxygenator and filter.
Pro tip for those that didnt know: if you have little to no success on hatching, let the water naturally evaporate, then collect the substrate with the eggs, let it dry for a few days, then simply start again. The cysts "eggs" will not hatch unless conditions are perfect, so even if you got little to no success, try again & again! They can last decades, even centuries till they hatch :)
Liked and just ordered off Amazon. Thx for redirecting to this. Hope I'm as successful. Like I said water turned green and they all died. Hoping for better longevity.
These are great! They're easy to raise, and much bigger than brine shrimp (AKA Sea Monkeys or Aqua Dragons) so they're much more fun for kids to watch.
Ive only gotten one to grow... and it layed a million eggs... ive hatched hundreds more from that but they have only lasted about two days... got plenty to play with still....
Have you heard of Creative Labs Amazing Virtual Sea-Monkeys which was on the PSOne and Nintendo Gameboy Advance? That's one old game under Creative Labs' belt dealing with simulated life / artificial intelligence.
@@aqualabcreations This I have not heard. Closest I could think of was Snorks, which was like an underwater smurfs knock off. A TV show, a computer game and the well known mini- aquarium product.
I wish my kit had that many babies hatching, I've seen around 5 babies swimming around (most of them probably eaten by the one that hatched a day earlier 😂)
I had two grow to full size, Fluffy and Cuddles. They were terrifying! They were huge and the 3 eyes thing was no joke. They were in my room because my kids were too small and the triops needed lamp-light. I still sense Fluffy and Cuddles watching me while I sleep. Don’t recommend.
How are you Aqua dragons and Sea Monkies on Mars doing? I was thinking about getting the Mars kit. I didn't know how big brine shimp could get. But I also wanted to know how you felt about them compared to triops?
I love the Sea Monkeys. They are doing great. I love the nostalgic art they have and the whole 9 yards. Plus the company is making new products. The Aqua Dragons to me is like the yu-gi-o to the Pokémon. Triops are cool but they are bigger and smellier.
What is your success rate of full life cycles? Also, would you recommend purchasing two or three tanks at a time of the same breed to ensure once they are adults to continue their cycle by adding them together for breeding purposes? I simply state this as I have been informed you have the world record for largest Sea Monkey aquarium. Your experience is appreciated.
@@Danni-Dcustomguarantee my first question would be, have you ever hatched these before? If so, then yes I’d set up multiple tanks for breeding. If not, it might be smart to start with one first.
@@aqualabcreations They could have been food, you'd be able to see if there were two different types of eggs. If we get loads of triops though, where some are newly hatched nauplii but there are already bigger ones, we can pipette out the new hatchlings into another tank to give them a chance not to be eaten. There does seem to be A LOT though, so they might have been shrimp as live food. It would be a very generous number of eggs for a kit, they're not usually generous with the eggs! Awesome video, thanks for sharing! 💖
@@aqualabcreations Even though the instructions don't say to do so, It seems like giving extra food the night before day 4 could reduce the extreme cannibalism and allow more adults to make it to day 4.

Amazing how the population plummeted from all those babies to just 5 adults - the big ones must have eaten the small ones - or they starved to death with the competition of older ones in the colony. Would be interesting to know. Certainly you didn't need to add both bags of sand eggs!
@@aqualabcreations yes r.i.p but I'm getting more. Also why do triops have a short lifespan and sea monkeys live for years I don't get it triops are bigger than they should live longer
Did all the baby's survive or did they die you you seemed to have allot more sorry it just seems like you got less and I'm thinking about buying two different kits for more room for these guys and young ladies
If you feed them salt, they can convert it to electricity, which is collected by copper wires. Otherwise, they get chili powder. More electricity = less pain. You have to be human to have human rights... and you gotta be pretty rough with the sea monkeys.

@@aqualabcreations How dare you laugh! Joking. It just couldn't have been better. Bagging you, then my cat got into the act to bring me back to earth! Lol. Love my cats, greyhound, stag hound too. All in one bed. 5 of us at times. Thank you for a little sanity!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
