Caring for your Sea Monkeys (2024)

Aquarium Water

When the water level gets low, should I add more Water Purifier?
No, just fill to the correct level with distilled or purifiedwater. The Water Purifier is designed as a one-time formula

Can I use tap water?
Nope. Distilled or filtered water is best.

Why do I have to add Water Purifier before adding the Instant Life eggs?
The Water Purifier is a Top Secret combination of buffers and special ingredientsthat help Sea-Monkeys hatch and thrive. The actual composition is and knownonly by Mr. Von Braunhut (the creator) and a few others.

Do I ever need to add salt to their water?
No, everything they need is in their Instant Life packet.

Why is the water cloudy?
You're probablyfeeding your Sea-Monkeys too much. Temporarily discontinue feeding until thewater begins to clear. Don't worry, there's plenty of food and algae for yourSea-Monkeys to thrive on!

Do Sea-Monkeys like the sun? Should I putthem in sunlight to stay warm?
Sea-Monkeys are photo-reactive (meaningthat they will react to sunlight), and they love the sun. Indirect sunlight isokay but keep them out of direct sunlight, so that their tank doesn't get toohot!

What temperature should the water be?
Room temperaturesaround 72° F (22° c) should be fine.

Can I color my Sea-Monkeys byadding food coloring to the water?
Uh, no. Adding anything to your tanknot specifically designed by Transcience Corp for Sea-Monkeys will probablykill them.

Should I change the waterperiodically?
Nope.

Feeding My Sea Monkeys

How often should I feed my Sea-Monkeys?
The OfficialSea-Monkey Handbook suggests feeding them once a week using the small end ofyour feeding spoon. If you have a large colony, you may feed them more often,but remember if the water gets cloudy you're feeding them toomuch.

How long will my packet of Growth Food last?
Growth Foodhas been scientifically balanced so that one packet lasts about ayear.

I heard that I can feed them yeast instead of Growth Food, isthis true?
Only if you really want all of your Sea-Monkeys todie.

I'm running out of food, is there something else that I can feedthem? -- How about fish food?
Absolutly not, your pets cannotsurvive on anything other than Sea-Monkey food. You can purchase food packetsand more from our online store

Is the Growth Food supposedto be green, or is it moldy?
Yes it is. And no it isn't.

DoesGrowth Food taste good?
Only to the Sea-Monkeys, but there's noaccounting for taste!

Cleaning

My tank has lots of gunk on the bottom, how do I clean it? That gunk contains Sea-Monkey eggs and algae. You don't need toclean it, but if you wish you can just suck up some of that gunk with your
Aqua Leash. Don't forget to top off the tank with more water!

ShouldI remove the Sea-Monkey shells after they shed them?
It's not necessary,all of the stuff that collects on the bottom of the tank are part of theSea-Monkeyecosystem.

I have a film of blue-green algae in my tank,should I clean it?
This is algae and normally occurs if you keep yourtank near a bright light source. It's very beneficial to your Sea-Monkeys, like
a jumbo salad for them. But you can use the Aqua Leash to clean the tank ifyou wish.

Should I change the water periodically?
No. Addclean, fresh water to recommended levels as it evaporates. There is no needto change the water. Contact Info
