Tank Introduction

We're not just Sea-Monkey fans, we're also owners. Currently, there are two colonies being raised. In our office, we have the Sea-Monkeys on the Moon. Unfortunately, we're not allowed to take pictures at our office. But we have been keeping a detailed tank journal that keeps up with all the current events of that colony. There are 11 Sea-Monkeys in that tank and they are 17 days old and getting close to maturation...translation = BIG! It's been absolutely fun taking care of, naming, and raising those little guys. Actually, it's the only thing all the workers in our office can get along on. Here's a picture that I found on the web of the tank. Click on the pic for a full view.



The second colony is at my home and I've got them in the Sea-Monkeys in the City tank. The Sea-Monkeys in that tank are 7 days old and aren't growing like we'd like them to. We haven't put enough light on the tank and I think that's stunting their growth. It's also been tough finding a warm place with enough light where they won't be knocked over in the house. Here's another picture I found on the web of that tank. Click on the pic for a full view.



When I make the time, we'll take some real pictures of the Sea-Monkeys in that tank. It'll just take a few days to teach them how to smile for the camera.

A Childhood without Sea Monkeys

For those of you who as kids had parents that would not allow them to buy sea monkeys out of a comic book, here are a couple of links to learn more:

The science scoop on Artemia salina is done pretty well by Wikipedia:

And here is the official web site:

Tank Recommendation: Basic like shown in the picture above is best. The cooler looking tanks make it a serious pain to try to spot the new hatchlings. Especially for us kids with bifocals.

Welcome to the Family!

Welcome everyone to our Sea Monkey blog. Our crack team of Sea-Monkey enthusiasts will update our readers and each other with the current happenings of our current Sea-Monkey colonies, our tank journals, and our basic love and admiration of all things Sea-Monkey. Hopefully this blog will be entertaining and informative and we also hope it encourages others to get involved with the Sea-Monkey culture and possibly get a few of those lovable creatures of their own.

We're glad that you're joining us on the journey as we raise our Sea-Monkeys, share pictures and stories, and who knows what else. Stick around, this should be fun for all of us.
