Sea monkeys kit for sale: Caring for them and interesting factsPosted by articlelink01 on February 7th, 2016 Caring for a certain animal, especially little animals that come with their own natural habitats, is a good hobby and a very good learning experience not just for children, but anyone from any age group. If you are a busy person doing a job, or you have a child who needs to go to school or basically anyone who cannot afford to take full time care of a large sized animal, sea monkeys are the answer to your queries, because they need to be fed just once a week. In 1972, the sea monkeys were the subject of Harold von Braunhut’s claim to fame, marketed in comic strips called Sea-Monkeys. He was awed on seeing them being sold in pet stores as potential pet food. The writer said that he used this and the idea of teaching kids some basic science to build his famous comic strips. However when he started to sell his shrimp in 1960s, von Braunhut marketed them under the name “Instant Life.” Did you know that the sea monkeys of today are not the original ones? Braunhut and D'Agostino began to cross breed shrimps from the genus Artemia, after they realized how fragile and short the lifespan of the original shrimps was. Today, after cross breeding and testing, the sea monkeys are larger, stronger and live for a longer period of time than originally planned. If you see that they have not hatched even after 24 hours of being in water, then chances are that the temperature of the water is too cold. They also need a certain amount of sunlight for survival, but not too much, and a good amount of local algal growth for them to feed on. If you have been told to get “sea monkey diamonds”, then don’t because when they are small, sea monkeys stand a very high chance of getting stuck underneath the “diamonds” resulting in their deaths by suffocation.
