How to Create the Perfect Sea-Monkeys Habitat - Tips for Sea-Monkeys Owners

Here are our top tips for getting the most out of your Sea-Monkeys:

1. Water temperature- It is vital that you refer to the temperature chart on the instruction leaflet, the colder the water the longer it will take for your Sea-Monkeys eggs to hatch. The ideal temperature for the fastest hatching is between 24 and 27 degree Celsius.

1. Egg anatomy- All Sea-Monkeys eggs vary in shell thickness, therefore those with thinner shells hatch faster and those with thicker shells take longer. This is natural biological variation.

1. Healthy light- Place your tank in a north-facing window so that it gets light, but not directly in sunlight. This will help algae to grow which the Sea-Monkeys eat.

1. Feeding- Feed your Sea-Monkeys only when the water is clear, too much food will cause them to suffocate.

1. Evaporation- If you notice the water level decreasing in your tank refill with bottled drinking water which is at the same temperature as the tank water.
