Basically they are brine shrimp eggs that are sold along with a little tank. You add water and the shrimp hatch... then you get to feed them and watch them grow.. etc.

Sea Monkeys

What are Sea Monkeys

 

[SoylentGreen]

Wow. I would never think that anyone wouldn't know what a Sea Monkey is.

Maybe I should get some.

 

[shimsham]

thanks for the links.


yea i heard of them all the time when i was a kid, but i thought they were sea horses or something.
never had any tho.

 

[mugs]

Yeah, they're brine shrimp... which are microscopic. It's not like they're real monkeys or something...

 

[vi edit]

This thread reminds me of a great South Park episode.

Not quite microscopic, but yeah.

I feed 'em to my fish.

OK, not microscopic, but small enough that the tank has magnifying lenses on the side so you can see them better. It's about as tragic as a bunch of dead insects. And if you think a bunch of dead insects is a tragedy, you need to get off the vegan bandwagon. The tank doesn't even come with the dead sea monkeys.

He made me suck it out of the end of this hose!

 

[jyates]

He's probably going to get PETA all over him

This thread is funny.

 

[dmw16]

That disgusts and ammuses me at the same time.

Yes, for decades they have been sold as fish food. Sea-Monkeys began to take off when people began to realize that they make better pets than the fish.

 

[Narse]

OK, so the brine shrimp died. I fail to see how this is a big deal.

Anyone watch that one South Park Episode?

Yeah, it was free. All I had to do was close my eyes and suck it out of a tube....

Well, if he hasn't cleaned the tank yet, and if the sea monkeys were alive for at least a week, there's a good chance that they managed to breed and lay eggs in which case the eggs are lying dormant in the tank waiting to be revived with some water.

Personally I think triops are alot cooler.

Agreed.
