  • Thumbs up if you agree with me and thumbs down if you believe MysticAlphaWolf

  • @mysticalphawolf you don't have to hurt others feeling just because you feel sad that she killed the Brine Shrimp because actually she did not kill them, the Brine Shrimp practically just didn't survive so stop bullying

  • My sea monkeys are like 9 days old! they are so cute! ^.^

  • Look'm up in Wikipedia: Sea-Monkeys is the brand name for brine shrimp – a group of crustaceans that undergo cryptobiosis – often sold in hatching kits as novelty aquarium pets.The animals sold as Sea-Monkeys are an artificial breed known as "Artemia NYOS"formed by hybridising different species of Artemia. They undergo cryptobiosis or anhydrobiosis, a condition of apparent lifelessness which allows them to survive the desiccation of the temporary pools they live in.

  • and how the monkey fck in the sea

  • Sea monkey sea castle sea sex

  • So your saying you killed brine shrimp, just to proove to some idiot that they arn't sea monkeys...?! Now your the idiot! Thumbs down!

  • how long does it take to hatch

  • Excellent video. Very educational as well. I really enjoyed watching that.

  • you need to see a egg float in the water!the egg in the packet become red when they contact with water!

  • After thinking a bit, I should rephrase some things as not to confuse anyone of facts. I don't dispute that Sea Monkeys are marketed as Artemia NYOS as opposed to Artemia Salina. However, I should point out that the original Sea Monkeys (according to the patent) were the salina variety. They than began to play with breeding. The eggs are still brown (look closely.) My point is that the salina species CAN live even in the SAME TANK with NYOS. I've done this several times to increase a colony.

  • Also, I have done the experiments as well and they have lived. I've placed brine shrimp in the sea monkey tank with success. When you hatch brine shrimp "they way you're supposed to," it's meant for feeding fish, so they are not expected to live long. You have to adjust your formula. Mine for successful brine shrimp in a sea monkey sized tank is:

    1/2 tbsp Sea Salt (not iodized).

    1/8 tsp. Epsom Salt

    1/8 tsp. baking Soda

    A pinch of eggs

    10 oz. Distilled Water

    Hope this helps!

  • Just want to clear some things up here. I've worked with Sea Monkeys for over 15 years, and have scientific research under my belt. They ARE brine shrimp. The eggs are not white; they are indeed brown. The packet in the kit contains some additional salt, brine shrimp eggs, and yeast to feed them. Look more closely into the packet. You will see the brown eggs. You can also go online and read the original patent for Sea Monkeys (where they must list ingredients) and you will see the same. Thanks!

  • so whatever created this world ect... created "sea monkeys" FOR KIDS! @1.36 :)

  • Actually, "sea monkeys" are an unnaturally produced hybridized form of brine shrimp. They are similar to Artemia salina (common brine shrimp) but have been bred by humans to develop in a completely artificial environment (yeast, borax, soda), so they can't be raised in the same water. They can't actually live in the sea, but are meant to live in inland salt lakes. The good thing is because of their unnatural husbandry needs, they can't survive in the wild and out-compete native shrimps.

  • I love how you say sea monkeys are not brine shrimp, just a "form of brine shrimp". Thats like saying a chihuahua is not a dog, just a "form of a dog".

  • "Sea monkey eggs" are brine shrimp eggs with dye (for water) and a little bit of food.

  • @ImaginaryBunnehz Look up Brine Shrimp on google then Sea Monkeys.

  • my eggs had green stuff in with them??????

  • can you send me some sea monkey eggs? and plasma? my babies arent doing so well...

    THNX :) <3 ur #1 fan:)

  • Best Camera video quality ever. FINALLY people realize they shouldn't record their videos with a cat... :3

  • v nmb

    

  • Just to clarify a little on my last pouch, here are the contents of each of the first two pouches in any sea monkey kit: The first pouch, the one labeled Water Purifier, contains marine salt and a few sea monkey eggs. The second pouch, the one labeled Instant Life Eggs, contains a mix of sea monkey eggs, yeast, borax, soda, salt, and sometimes a dye. The reason why the eggs appear white is because they are hidden among the other ingredients. They are in fact a pale beige-pink color. Just an FYI.

  • Brine shrimp can live in a sea monkey tank. I have successfully done so. Check out my videos.

  • can u still feed sea monkeys to fish? such as a beta?

  • @Helms97 Sure. Go for it. The betta will be more than happy to indulge in them.

  • Arent they just a hybrid of bryne shrimp that have been altered to live long and die in unpurified water as to not contminate the enviroment with genetically modified animals?

  • where did u get soo much brine shrimp? please respond

  • @maxs476

    what do you mean exactly ??? i bought brine shrimp eggs off ebay to hatch for my dwarf puffer babies ... and i also bought all my sea monkeys from ebay as well :O)

  • @cheryl4967 Hay i have a Q,how long does it take for the sea monkeys to hatch cause i have never had them before and i was wondering if they hatch like in 5 minutes or like days?

  • @elitesmile63 about 2 days to hatch

  • @maxs476 Yeaaa were did u??

  • yeah" for kids"

  • @webmaster1232

    or for kids at heart :O)

  • yyou have the same torch as me

  • that is true ! even in the packet it says " years of cross breeding"

  • uhm i kno they give u food in the sea monkey kit, what if you use it all :) thnks

  • @TheBebeme123

    you would have order more food from transcience ... i am unable to post an web address with this reply but i will email you the web address ... you have to live in the united states to order from transcience and if you do not live in the united states you would have to buy the sea monkey replacement kit which has more purifier, eggs and food ...

  • And thoes two combo leads to well less salt maybe brackish water?

  • Btw the egg packet has food too and sea monkeys are half brine shrimp and half fairy shrimp (wich is sold as pets too)

  • The term "Sea-Monkey" is just an attractive catch name for kids. The SM brand has made good money with clever marketing. Good on them for that.

    However, the "white eggs" are simply decapsulated brine shrimp eggs. Hence when they hatch there are no egg casings. It's actually a standard method of growing brine shrimp in many professional hatcheries.

    Both are hatched and raised using exactly the same methodology. The demise of either is the same also.

  • i have here with me some brine shrimp and seamonkeys, i have siphoned some brine shrimp and put them in the seamonkeys tank, theyre all living, none has died and the jar of brine shrimp is full of dead bodies.... i think its the seamonkeys water thats keeping them alive. but well see in a weeks time if they both will look the same.

  • @cubby1812

    keep me posted ... i am interested in your experiment :O)

  • @cheryl4967 will do! its been 4 days and they are doing great. more eggs are hatching too. the brine shrimp hatcheries dont last longer than a couple days. im feeding newly hatched ones to my gourami frys. this is really stressing me out too! since i keep having to make new batches everytime. i am baffled about the seamonkeys living in the small tank they are in! i cant wait until they are fully grown. but like i said it is a mixture of brine shrimp for hatching and seamonkeys from the packet.

  • @cheryl4967 hi cheryl i just want to update you. i have moved the seamonkeys in a 3quart betta tank. i ddint have a hydrometer so i had to gauge the salt by taste! the formula i had ended up with is one heaping teaspoon per quart. i have also started a brine shrimp batch that is lasting me longer by same amt of salt. theyve been okay for the past 4 days, this is when i notice something. the brine shrimp does not grow as fast as the seamonkeys. i think youre right, theyre not the same :)

  • @cheryl4967 i also plan to get a hydrometer to test the new batch of seamonkeys i just made last night, and finally crack their secret formula. i cant find it online where someone has done this. i dont know when i would be able to test it, but if you have the means to do so, lets compare notes!

  • wanna know why the brine shrimp didnt hatch cause they dont like you and wat if you hatched them wrong and in the packet they put something in it to make it look white ok

    mann dud get ur facts right

  • ACCUALLY they are a type of brine shrimp so really they are brine shrimp

  • but i love orbeez

  • cool

  • What the heck no one fricken cares about fricken brine shrimp and fricken seamonkeys!

  • @DangoMokona

    maybe no one cares about your gerbil and your sad collection of SEVEN videos ... and if you hate sea monkeys then why are you watching and commenting on sea monkey videos ... i have one sea monkey video with over 6000 views ... how many views in total does your sad collection of seven videos have ???

  • @cheryl4967

    Obviously, people are interested in his videos..this one has over 9000 views.

  • @DangoMokona shut up

    

  • did they hatch? lol

  • @kratos3111

    of course they hatched :O)

  • my friend did an experiment and put brine shrimp in a small container and they lived she showed it for science fair and yes they lived in a small plastic cup this is true i'm not lying

  • @jlaforga723

    well i tried hatching brine shrimp like you are supposed to and hatching sea monkeys like you are supposed to and kept them side by side on my kitchen table ... the sea monkeys lived and the brine shrimp did not ... and when i tried to hatch, house and feed the same, the brine shrimp did not live like the sea monkeys did ... just saying they are different :O)

  • Sea monkey eggs are actually brown and the reason why it looked white in the pack is the stuff the will make it hatch instantly(that's how i think of it) and that's also the reason why you sea brown spots when you dump the pack in.And i heard that scientist kept crossbreeding different species of brine shrimp so....i still think they are brine shrimp ;)

  • sea monkeys are a hybird..you know :) and half of the creature is brine shirp and other half...idk o.o

  • i have that 1 the mars 1 and a green normal 1!most people say there brine shrimp but there mutan ones realy smart people know there not just a kind of them but mutan ones!!!!

  • @hunter31416

    you said it right, only the smart ones know this :O) i bought my brother sea monkeys in the city for christmas and i have a vintage night gems kit i haven't opened yet :O)

  • i have that 1 the mars 1 and a green normal 1!

  • On Wiki it says they are a BREED of brine shrimp. lol. If people say they ARE brine shrimp they are incorrect.

  • sea monkeys are artemia nyos and those brine shrimps are artemia salina

  • @thesupergamerdude

    only the smart people know that :O)

  • @cheryl4967 i know

  • i like the southpark seamonkeys episode, seaman+sea people=seasiotey

  • I have a question about something I just noticed while looking in sea monkey food.

    If you look in your sea monkey food packet with a flashlight, does it look like there are eggs in there too? I saw things that looked like eggs in my packet

  • What is that pack of sea monkey diamonds? What do they do? Are they anygood?

    Love the vids!

  • I just got the same tank as that a few days ago! Good info and nice video!

  • @Strawbunni44

    i have to say this is my most favourite tank ... you might not notice at first but the entire clear plastic part is magnifying ... and it is nice to see them swimming around the castle too :O) thanks for the nice comment :O)

  • @cheryl4967 it's my favorite too, i had wanted it since i saw it years ago haha. I had to buy it seeing it was the last one they had at the store. And I agree just as you said it's magnifying, which makes it awesome lol. I ended up buying 2 more tanks last night because I was having so much fun with this one. they're the cheap walmart ones though, no magnifying circles on the sides, just clear plastic.

  • @Strawbunni44

    oh, good, i don't feel so bad having four kits :O)

  • Comment removed

  • @derekphone10

    okay genius ... what are brine shrimp called and what are sea monkeys called, the real names ??? if your science teacher told you they are just brine shrimp, maybe you can go in and educate him/her on why they are wrong :O) but interested if you know what their real names are ...

  • @cheryl4967

    derekphone10 removed his comment and blocked me because he was WRONG :o)

  • Did you know hermit crabs ieat sea monkey ?? My friend bought the hermit crab food and it was dryed sea monkeys

  • see. u are a hater.

  • @stackcups

    not a hater, intolerant of the ignorant more like it, like you posting this comment :O)

  • Sea-Monkeys® are a unique species of brine shrimp, known by the scientific name of Artemia NYOS. We not only unlocked the most elusive secrets of their life cycle, we created new formulas to keep them alive under conditions found in the average home—an accomplishment never before achieved! Finally, after years of crossbreeding, we developed a hybrid. These amazing new hybrids grow larger and live longer than any "natural" variety of brine shrimp.

  • Resulting from the most exquisitely sophisticated “aquaculture technology”, by true pioneers in this science, only the utmost resources of a leading marine biological research center working for a span of many years has made this project a complete success.

  • @Blueyary21

    i knew the sea monkeys were artemia nyos and brine shrimp are artemia salina (not sure if i spelled that correctly) and there are also freshwater shrimp sometimes called fairy shrimp but the real name is anostraca and the will grow and live in freshwater :O) you gotta appreciate a male who can admit when he is wrong :O) i would admit it too :O) i bought a bootleg kit from ebay and in that kit the eggs were fairy shrimp eggs, they did not live long ...

  • Hey im sorry i was wrong... :( i was being a k now it all!! well the website proved me wrong here ill send you what the website says but i might have to break it up in half!

  • Well is you were to watch all my videos and listened to what i say... I said those tanks i have been using i washed out with soap and i found dried up soap at the bottom of them... so they died because of that and the reason i didnt send you back any messages when you asked if they lived my brother was on the computer all the time.. 24 7!

  • Comment removed

  • @Blueyary21

    not rude to have a different opinion :O) i too have a lot of experience hatching brine shrimp for my fish and fish fry ... i also have four sea monkey kits ... i did an experiment where i hatched sea monkeys and hatched brine shrimp, the sea monkeys are still alive and the brine shrimp are not ... sea monkeys while a form of brine shrimp are not actually brine shrimp because they have bee modified to live in small containers of water for kids to have as pets ...

  • @Blueyary21

    what do i have to say to you growing brine shrimp in a sea monkey tank, i say i would have to see it to believe it because that has not been my experience ... and if you actually look into it, you will discover sea monkeys are not just plain old brine shrimp ... and can not be kept or raised the same, i tried it myself :O)

  • Ok well i didnt mean to erase my comments.. but you are wrong they are the same for i have done 7 sea monkey kits to tell you.. my brine shrimp lived in the purified water.. in my videos my big tank.. day 4.. and also watch hatching more sea monkeys.. more sea monkeys2

  • @Blueyary21

    prove it ... brine shrimp will not live in purified water ... i looked on your channel and i saw no proof ... i feel you are wrong but i am willing to be persuaded with video proof :O)

  • I got shrimp and monkeys in same tank, I thought they died, so I added more food (it was feeding time) and they came back to life, they're about a week old and still going strong theese guys are insanely interesting XD

  • @thapizzakillr

    shrimp and sea monkeys together, very interesting ... must help control algae :O)

  • ure really cool ure vids are very entertaining to watch =]

  • Mystery solved! :)

  • @drtoyhunter hahah lol i guess so and make some more vids man! lol

  • whered u get brine shrimp eggs

  • @lyssa1miley

    i ordered them online ... my puffers had babies and i had to hatch brine shrimp daily for three months to feed them :O)

  • YAY!!!!
