Review: Sea Monkey Volcano kit. Teeny Tiny Swimmers. - The volcano kit arrived and I set it up on a window sill. There are instructions included but there are also plenty of good youtube videos showing how to set the tanks up. I have put the tank on a heat mat as it is still chilly here and they hatch and grow better in warmer conditions. I filled it up with bottled spring water and added the first packet. I added the second packet a day later and gave the tank water another good swish around with a turkey baster to get all the salt crystals dissolved. There is no pipette or sea monkey air pump ( Aqua Leash ) with this kit so you'll need something to stir the water and something aerate the tank ( I have a plastic spoon, 10ml pipette and a turkey baster ). As the water was a bit on the cool side despite the heat mat, the hatching wasn't immediate but after 3 full days I have had about 20 tiny Sea Monkeys swimming around in the tank. The warmer the water, the faster they would grow so mine are growing slowly. They started hatching on the Wednesday so I will give them their first small feed on Monday and see how they get on from there. Whether they survive or not from then on will be down to me. The tank came as described and after following the instructions and a few youtube vids my Sea Monkeys have hatched . They are really tiny when they hatch ( like pin head small ) and hard to spot so you have to let your eyes adjust to the tank water in order to sea them and you need to be really close to the tank. 20 Sea Monkeys isn't a bad first hatch to start with so I'm quite happy. ( Aqua Dragons kits have a lot more eggs so you get a large first hatch but then a lot might die off ) I'm also using a grow light to see if I can get a little bit of natural algae growing in the tank to provide natural food. So the tank is sturdy enough, wasn't expensive, the eggs hatched as expected and hopefully I'll be able to enjoy raising my new Sea Monkeys.
Review: Rubbish - Would give 0 stars if i could. Followed instructions to the tee. Big fat waste of money. Nothing hatched. Have waited over a month but nope. Avoidddd

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can you take them out for walks? Are they social animals? And can I use vodka if I run out of water as I currently live in the middle of a desert?**
A: Sea monkeys prefer bicycle rides, so for optimum pleasure, get a basket for the front of your bike and let them watch the world speed by. They are very sociable, mine are constantly inviting pals around for a swim and they have a very active social media presence. Vodka is an absolute no-no! Do you want to kill them? They much prefer gin and tonic if you run out of water and camel milk. Follow these simple steps and your sea monkeys will live happily for several centuries. With advances in medical technology, if you can extend your own lifespan indefinitely, you can marvel at them evolving into (even) more sophisticated lifeforms. Probably, given enough time, the descendants will turn you into THEIR pet, keeping you in a cage and feeding you Mars bars and vodka for sustenance.

**Q: How do you make them live longer?**
A: I think the warmer the water is better, We keep them near a heater.
It took ages for my daughters to hatch but now we're inundated with newly hatched babies.

**Q: Can you buy more sachets if food? How long do they live for?**
A: They live for a few months but don’t really need a lot of food. I seem to remember my daughter using fish food if memory serves me correctly. She’s now 26 and still gets them for a gift occasionally  ( her birthday in July was the latest)  and she enjoys them. Her first set was at 10 years old.  I bought them for my neighbours kids as I thought they would like them. Their ages range from 3,4,8 and 10. They got all excited about them. So I would recommend them.

**Q: Can the tank be recycled once it’s done with?**
A: The tank is plastic so can be recycled or can be cleaned and new sea monkey egg's added to start a new colony I have not had to empty mine as the sea monkeys have new hatchlings hope this helps
