I have Sea Monkeys (brine shrimp that are genetically modified for home-growth) and they are great! My colony is growing really well and I'm up to my 2nd generation. The females are all pregnant and they are really fast. I'm thinking of buying thinks to put in their mini tank so their lives are a little more interesting. The first Sea Monkeys I ever had died because my arm was knocked when I was feeding them and all the food went into their tank and suffocated them
Has anybody had Sea Monkeys before? Share your stories!
If you don't mind asking what is a Sea Monkey and what do they do?
Like Matthewest said they are shrimp that you grow at home. They do shrimpy type things sort of swimming, eating, juggling (ok maybe not the last one).
On a kinda related topic, have you ever been on a campout and had the fire get in your eyes? If you want it to go away you have to yell as loud as you can: I HATE SOGGY CHOCOLATE FLYING MONKEYS!!! It really works.
Lol this topic reminds me of the sea monkey episode of south park, that was one hilarious episode ><
Sea people and meeeeeeeeee. XD

Sea Monkey's are brine shrimp. They are the only living creature on Earth that can live in the Dead Sea. With today's technology, scientists have modified their eggs to be "frozen" into a powder. When this powder comes into contact with water, they hatch and start to breed and eat and play with eachother. They are really fun to watch and they can do tricks if you point a torch at them too!
[/quote]are they good to eat?
For humans, no. They grow to a maximum of about 1 inch and are not thick at all. However, many fish-owners breed sea-monkeys and feed them to their fish. They make a nutritional diet for all types of fish and eels. But you wouldn't really want to do that, would you?

How is that relevant? O.o
give me a little feedback and tell me what there like and maybe I'll go buy 'em =)[quote]
They are really fun but require a lot of patience and caution. There are so many ways you can accidently kill them. Bacteria can kill them, hot water, cold water, direct sunlight, being crushed, overfeeding and more.
If you get the hang of it and remember simple techniques, you can breed hundereds of generations of Sea Monkeys and have a lot of fun!
