Review: Great product - Hatched after 48 hours, very happy!
Review: Easy Pet for all ages. - I first tried a different brand, but only one hatched and it didn’t last long. I decided to try Aqua Dragons instead, and they’ve been amazing! I recommend sitting them on the windowsill in the day time to get a bit of light (avoiding direct sunlight). I’m on week two or three now, and they’re thriving!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How long does the supplied food last? Would I need to buy more and if so what type? Many thanks**
A: For everybody looking for an answer: spirulina powder (food for brine shrimps and other small crustaceans) can be used if the food runs out. Just keep an eye on it if the little critters really eat it and if they stay healthy amd active (always a chance the food was off or a bad batch)

**Q: Can you feed the food to sea monkeys as they don’t do refills?**
A: Yes you can, sea monkeys and aqua dragons are in fact the same. So feeding them this food is no problem at all 😁

**Q: How do you clean the water my water is going funny but the little pets still alive**
A: I’ve never cleaned the water. The instructions say if it gets cloudy it can be from over feeding. Don’t feed them for a few days and the water clears more. The water does naturally look almost jelly like, but that’s the salinity level of the water which is normal for them to survive. You can top the water up if is low with room temperature bottled spring water. Hope that helps.

**Q: Really silly question but if was using a mason jar or a jam jar would i close the lid or leave the lid off? Thank you**
A: Leave the lid off, please see the Aquadragons website for full details of how to care for them, the water needs to be oxygenated with the pipette daily

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product
*by R***A on 18 February 2026*

Hatched after 48 hours, very happy!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy Pet for all ages.
*by C***E on 31 October 2025*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hours of fun
*by D***S on 9 August 2025*

I bought this Aqua Dragons kit for my kids and it’s been such a fun little science project for them. The instructions are clear and easy to follow — we had everything set up in about 10 minutes. Within just a couple of days, tiny creatures started swimming around, which was exciting to watch. The kit includes everything you need: the eggs, food, and a small tank. This refill pack is especially handy if you’ve already got the tank from a starter set but want to do the process again. It’s a great way to teach children about caring for living things, patience, and basic science. The only thing to note is that you do need to keep the water at a fairly stable temperature for the best results, so a warm room is ideal. Other than that, it’s low-maintenance and genuinely interesting for both kids and adults
