Aquarium WaterWhen the water level gets low, should I add more Water Purifier?
No, just fill to the correct level with distilled or purified water. The Water Purifier is designed as a one-time formula Can I use tap water? Nope. Distilled or filtered water is best. Why do I have to add Water Purifier before adding the Instant Life eggs? The Water Purifier is a Top Secret combination of buffers and special ingredients that help Sea-Monkeys hatch and thrive. The actual composition is and known only by Mr. Von Braunhut (the creator) and a few others. Do I ever need to add salt to their water? No, everything they need is in their Instant Life packet. Why is the water cloudy? You're probably feeding your Sea-Monkeys too much. Temporarily discontinue feeding until the water begins to clear. Don't worry, there's plenty of food and algae for your Sea-Monkeys to thrive on! Do Sea-Monkeys like the sun? Should I put them in sunlight to stay warm? Sea-Monkeys are photo-reactive (meaning that they will react to sunlight), and they love the sun. Indirect sunlight is okay but keep them out of direct sunlight, so that their tank doesn't get too hot! What temperature should the water be? Room temperatures around 72° F (22° c) should be fine. Can I color my Sea-Monkeys by adding food coloring to the water? Uh, no. Adding anything to your tank not specifically designed by Transcience Corp for Sea-Monkeys will probably kill them. Should I change the water periodically? Nope. |

Feeding My Sea Monkeys
How often should I feed my Sea-Monkeys?
The Official Sea-Monkey Handbook suggests feeding them once a week using the small end of your feeding spoon. If you have a large colony, you may feed them more often, but remember if the water gets cloudy you're feeding them too much.
How long will my packet of Growth Food last?
Growth Food has been scientifically balanced so that one packet lasts about a year.
I heard that I can feed them yeast instead of Growth Food, is this true?
Only if you really want all of your Sea-Monkeys to die.
I'm running out of food, is there something else that I can feed them? -- How about fish food?
Absolutly not, your pets cannot survive on anything other than Sea-Monkey food. You can purchase food packets and more from our online store Click Here
Is the Growth Food supposed to be green, or is it moldy?
Yes it is. And no it isn't.
Does Growth Food taste good?
Only to the Sea-Monkeys, but there's no accounting for taste!

Cleaning
My tank has lots of gunk on the bottom, how do I clean it?
That gunk contains Sea-Monkey eggs and algae. You don't need to clean it, but if you wish you can just suck up some of that gunk with your
Aqua Leash. Don't forget to top off the tank with more water!
Should I remove the Sea-Monkey shells after they shed them?
It's not necessary, all of the stuff that collects on the bottom of the tank are part of the Sea-Monkey ecosystem.
I have a film of blue-green algae in my tank, should I clean it?
This is algae and normally occurs if you keep your tank near a bright light source. It's very beneficial to your Sea-Monkeys, like
a jumbo salad for them. But you can use the Aqua Leash to clean the tank if you wish.
Should I change the water periodically?
No. Add clean, fresh water to recommended levels as it evaporates. There is no need to change the water. Contact Info
